I'm talkin about this:

Creature damage ranges are now larger but average damage done remains the same. This was done to help tankers take less damage on average than the other professions so they may better fulfill their role in combat

Sounds good, or not?

On Chimaera: JANTO KORMAKIS ---> Human Commando / Rifleman / Squad Leader

Hopefully it will aid us in our tanking ability, but I'm not sure how this works or what the result will be.

I'll be watching for feedback on the change fo' sure.

I just wanted to bump this up because i have no idea how taking more damage overall (which we are) is helping us take less damage overall. Maybe someone a bit brighter than me can explain it?

Yea, I've actually noticed myself taking *more* damage since publish 17 as TKM/M.Pike so I guess their theory didn't hold much water.

-Edit-

I believe the idea was by increasing the range, lets say from 100-200dmg changed to 75-225dmg, the average damage would remain the same but since us tanks have higher defenses we would be more likely to see the 75dmg instead of the 100dmg.

Unfortunately as tanks we aren't usually up against lower CL creatures so we don't see this low end of the range anyway.

The Necrosis slaughtered me when I tried to tank it

but I'll blame that on the loading screen not going away in time.
