GC's Blog about wanting threat stats to matter for tanks.

[Concillian]

Hit rating is such a "meh" stat for me. How in the world can I miss the 50 foot tall freak of nature that I'm beating on? Seriously? He is right there.

Meh, this is the same kind of thing as you being able to actually carry around a dragon in your backpack. He has magic stuff just like you do, that magic stuff blurs the lines of what is real and not real and that makes it difficult to figure out what's really real and where he is really standing.

My thought on cutting back mastery was that adding parry scaling to STR would help make up for it. dodge would need something then though.

Should also aid PvP, where I remember rogue AGI / dodge scaling being way ahead of warrior STR / parry scaling to the point that beginning of expansion warriors > rogues, but end of expansion rogues > warriors primarily due to the gear-flation. Perhaps the DR was enough to correct this, as I haven't seriously PvPed in a long while.
