Stop nerfing tanks. This stuff is dumb.
If i can engage in tanking with the whole faction and one person is dumping 72k damage alone y'all need to balance the HP to where it scales per number of enemies and dps of said enemies of if they're unrealistically dumping 72k by their selves that's where the system should go "nah thats's not right and increase the tank's hp".
So lameman's terms i should have 800k close to a million Hp to deal with the fights that I'm in. There no point to tanking if you're just going to nerf the sh*t into the ground all the time. But without proper tanking these zergs are just flipping stuff easily because there is no counter.
Its killing the game. Nerfing tanks as badly as y'all do there nothing but otherball group bs gameplay. No one is queing up for these other camps because they don't want this small scale 20 people flipping everything. That stuff is boring it doesn't require skill. But tanking 20 people that requires skill, gear, rotation and not getting screwed over by nerfs.

Dear Community/Followers,
I want to address recent concerns regarding allegations of inappropriate direct messages and supposed cheating. First and foremost, I want to clarify that I do not admit to any wrongdoing. However, I understand that my actions may have been perceived in a way that caused concern.
As many of you know, I am a disabled veteran who served in Iraq, and I am permanently and totally mentally disabled. My PTSD, which was formally diagnosed in 2013 after being reclassified in the DSM-5, has affected me in ways that are difficult to fully explain. While this is not an excuse, it has, at times, clouded my judgment and impacted my behavior. This condition is something I have lived with for a long time, and it is a daily challenge.
As an influencer, streamer, and game reviewer with over 300 reviews, 800 followers on Twitch, and 1,600 followers on TikTok, I understand the responsibility that comes with my platform. Our role as influencers is to set a positive example, and I want to make it clear that I do not condone actions that go against the Terms of Service (TOS) or End User License Agreements (EULA) of any platform or community. Even though societal norms have evolved, and what was once deemed acceptable behavior in the past is no longer appropriate, I am committed to adapting and ensuring that my actions reflect the values we strive for today.
I want to go forward with a commitment to better representing the disabled members of our community. I recognize that I may never fully "fit in" or be "normal," but I am dedicated to improving and learning from these experiences. It is crucial that we have more flexibility and better support services for disabled veterans like myself, so we can remain active members of our communities without being unfairly limited by our disabilities. These services would help ensure that we can make better decisions and avoid situations like this in the future.
Thank you for your understanding, and I am grateful for the continued support of this community as I work to become a better version of myself.
Sincerely,

I was ready to agree with you because I thought you were talking about PvE tanking. But once I saw that you were talking about PvP, any sense of solidarity went up in flames.
As someone who’s played a block tank that could hold off a dozen people for twenty minutes straight…there’s no skill in that. Just hold block while wearing the right gear and keeping your heals up.
Tanking and damage have been in an ever-escalating arms race for at least the last six years. I started playing this game in 2020, and back then, having 28k HP made you a juggernaut on the battlefield. Now? It makes you a liability at best. So you end up with these 40k HP builds that can shrug off nukes. We’ve ended up in this situation where every time you fight, you either die in three seconds or you couldn’t kill the person even if they just mashed the keyboard with their face. Or both.
You said that people don’t like playing against 20-person zergs. Have you considered that maybe 20 people shouldn’t be incapable of killing one tanky player in a straight-up fight? And that’s with current levels of HP. You want close to a million HP? No. Hell no.
While I don’t think PvP tanks should be nerfed into absolute uselessness, you shouldn’t get to be immortal with the health of a DLC dungeon boss just because you held down a button and occasionally walked away from siege fire.

Yes, that's how tanking works you're supposed to be a "TANK".
