Captain tanking needs a nerf!

[Joedangod]

Your sentence literally disputes exactly what you say at the start of it, you're trying to say the age of the content makes no difference when for example a decently geared Captain at MM launch had 600k morale, and I currently have 1.2m, but that somehow now suddenly Wardens, Guardians, Chanks, Bears can do the content perfectly fine? Why might that be? Hmmm.

Did you actually read the sentence? If you invalidate the MM cluster because it's old you must invalidate remmorchant for the same reason. I'm not trying to invalidate them for being old, you are so you must invalidate Remmorchant by your own logic. To me they are the level 130 cap instances, they should be the metric by which we judge tanks. They remain valid until the cap moves on.

It's stuff like this that makes it so painfully obvious that you've never actually played the class to any real level of competency, if at all. People min-maxing Red/Blue Captains work through a fairly complicated and reactive rotation and have to try WAY harder than any other class to actually get good figures off, but the payoffs at the top of the skill ceiling are huge.

I was not referring to blue/red Captain, I was referring to yellow. If I had been referring to blue/red then yes, my point would be invalid...but I wasn't....so it isn't.

Yellow is 100% easiest and no class in this game is by any means hard to play, but to pretend that timing, CD priority and taunt & damage management through rotation require you to "not press any skills" is just farcical, that's the reason why 95% of Captains can't do AM Tier 5 without a healer, but you'd still have the class nerfed into oblivion because 5% can...

The vast majority of the support that a yellow Captain offers is passive. The few things that aren't passively active are automatically applied by the Captain when doing their own personal rotation, the only exception to this is WoC. Again, if you ripped away the fellowship part of all the support abilities on Yellow Captain you would not see any change in their rotation.

People really want to label Yellow Captain as "The support tank" when in reality they're not thinking about support 95% of the time. It's like labelling red RK as a "support DPS", yeah they're throwing up a bunch of mit debuffs but those debuffs are a side effect of their DPS rotation, they're not monitoring them in any way. Tagging a fellow with DNF once every 150 seconds really doesn't convey that support mindset.
