There are a lot of posts here concerning how they changed our soloability and reduced our tanking ability in comparison to other melees.
What I am wondering is if this change wasn't just an attempt to make FD ability worse and thus not trivialize raids as much they supposedly do now. In other words, it wasn't a class balance per se, it was just a change aimed at FD and given the long history of Verant "moaning" about it and trying to change it without any "good" results, this was what they could come up with.
Perhaps it had nothing to do with the complaints of others that monks are too good when it comes to tanking. Perhaps Verant just needed an excuse to lower the effeciency of FD?
(Even though mitigation concerns tanking as well)
This is more of a question than facts aimed at you who are much more knowledgable than me regarding the issue(s). I am just trying to comprehend what is going on<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">
So, to sum it up: Is this nerf a way for Verant to change FD, while making it sound like a long needed classbalance issue?
That would go along with the other changes that have been made, that is, trying to change raid encounters.
I have read many posts here, but not really seen this. Might very well have missed it. If that is the case, I am sorry to having repeated the question.
