Captain tanking needs a nerf!

They weren't forgotten, they were omitted

When talking about incoming damage a -30% incoming damage buff with ~50% uptime is relevant. For Champ you're omitting a what, 150k morale bubble? No honest person would have omitted those things. You omitted them, on purpose. Not a great look.

All tanks in this game offer varying levels of "support", that is something you cannot dispute, however hard you might try.

They offer minimal support and that support is primarily in the form of a mitigation debuff to bump damage a bit. They aren't even well implemented debuffs, they basically just force representation as certain classes find themselves being brought for that one debuff first, their own personal DPS/Healing/Tanking/Whateverr second. At best these other tanks dip their toe into performing a secondary role, yellow captain outright takes over group defensives from healers by having the best group defensive by a long shot, it rezzes more targets than 2/4 healers, it has a better tool to save another player than healers do and it passively makes everyone 10% more durable (which on most healers that level of boosted defence would require cooldown usage). No other game puts these things on the tank and technically LOTRO doesn't either, it only puts it on Yellow Captain. Hence the debate here.

Equating Yellow Captain support with the support other tanks bring is a joke. Honestly, you're trolling with that.

I have perspective. You on the other hand need to recognise what game it is you're playing and become a realist.

You're not realist. You're a pessimist.
