Default Question: since the new Revamp is going to come, Why arn't Tanks getting Any "Damage Reduction?"

__________________________________________________ _
For People who hate TL;DR's -v-
If Tank's are suppost to be tanks, why can scouts who go into def stance and tank specced still take almost the same damage from 'xx' mob as a tank,

and a Warlock with Tank spec and Dispersion Gear Still can absorb and dodge damage like a monk and almost "still" tank like a tank?
__________________________________________________ __

The only Problem I have with all the changes is this...
- We still take to much damage...
- We have less resistances then healers...
- We have no buffs that help us very much at all with taking spike damage except emergencys, healers do, which makes them very viable soloing as well.

- Mitigation Curve is getting worse and worse, and a swashbuckler with mythical and greenmist(HQ weapon) can get to 5700 Mitigation, also with tank spec they can get to 53% Avoidence with the right gear, in ((Offensive stance)) [In Def they get to 62%].

Yes, thats it, we take alot of damage, because thats the way the mobs are, we countered this before by doing the DPS to make the mobs die faster.

but now that the mobs arn't going to die faster, wouldnt this make the fighters longer and harder??

Some people think thats cool and Ok, but A Crusader can survive a long fight much better then a warrior can... Warriors get weaker and weaker as the fight rages on, while a crusader gets stronger and stronger, and I think thats the biggest difference between the 2 archetypes overall.

[This Thread has no whining, no asking for changes, or anything, I just hope people understand what im saying... ]

One Whine, Can Ignore if you want ----
Crusader's are awsome, I think they are really fun to play, but I think the "+Damage Ratio when using a shield" should go on Guardian/Berserker as well, so we don't lose our raid spots to people who can do the job better, and take better spike damage. ((If Im wrong, please just say I bring the suck))

You're all suppost to say he brings the suck. Can't you read the dark red and purple letters on the black background? Geez people!

I want to know what makes you say crusaders get stronger in long fights, while warriors get weaker. I don't play any tanks, and this statement intrigues me.

If your issue is with being longer and harder, I'm afraid we can't help you. Check your Spam folder, though.. they sure can..
