The struggle is real

Any other tanks having issues maintaining aggro without rotating snaps / av's .. even the snaps only hold aggro for so long. Dps wise I can push but not often and not effectively enough to maintain aggro control.
I've been tanking zones by timing when I use my snaps with whatever horrible thing might occur to the dps class pulling aggro. The bolster to our profession abilities doesn't seem to make much of a difference, but I am still leveling alchemy to replace my old tier gm's with new tier experts for the sake of trying.

Mainly due to the taunts potency being hard capped at 10000. You get no scaling on what was, until KA expac, an important part of your total aggro generation.

Here's a screenshot showing the evolution of my Outgoing damage & Threat at the end of the last 3 expansions, the image display their respectives percentages :



At the end of AoM my Outgoing damage was around 38% of my personnal aggro generation and my Threat 62%.
With the stats scaling, by the end of ToT my Outgoing damage was around 30% and my Threat 70%.
Then came KA with another cb scaling, ab mod, potency scaling and the introduction of the ascension spells.
Ascension spells made the damages rise, Outgoing damage is now around 85% and Threat around 15%.
Between the end of ToT and the end of KA, my total DPS got multiplicated by 15-20x but my total Threat got multiplicated by 30-35%, mainly due to crit bonus.
If potency continue to scale, by the end of PoP, Threat may do less than 3-5%.


The problem is : DPS classes fully scaled with KA, have better damaging abilites than fighters and the same ascensions you got ( even better damaging ones if you arent etherealist ). As a fighter, your damages scaled fine but your taunts dont scaled much, you dont have potent threat anymore to close the damage gap = you loose aggro more than before / can't hold it.


If nothing is done by the start of PoP : returning fighters players, alts with low ascension quality spells and/or players with lower equipement than the dps classes they grouped with will be useless in heroic content because they can't do their job anymore.

Wait . . . threat is hard capped? WTF insanity is that? How is it hurting anyone when threat is high? Isn't managing aggro what a tank is supposed to be doing? You can't just hard cap one class / archtype and expect balance to actually work.

well u really need ... even more than ever the 100% hate gain

and any dps really needs as close to -50% hate (troub, necro, chanter ... )
