New Tanker Inherent: Anger -- Thoughts?

So I had this idea pop into my head today... would be REALLY interesting.

What if Tankers had inverse fury?

Call it:

ANGER

Power Description: The Tanker LOVES to be the center of attention, when he is not he is mad, so mad that his attacks will hit MUCH harder until he regains that aggro.

The Tanker has a bar that is just like Fury, only its filled up. When its filled up it gives a huge damage boost. NOTE: For this to work the Tanker damage cap would have to be raised an additional 200%.

At full bar, the buff gives 200% more damage.

*HOWEVER* as the Tanker is attacked the bar begins to deplete, very fast the more attacks made against the Tanker. Even if the Tanker is tanking a single opponent the bar will begin decreasing, if the Tanker aggros a group he will only have the damage bonus for the first few attacks and after that the bar will be nearly depleted.

If the Tanker is not being attacked the bar begins to refill at a steady rate.

What does this accomplish?

This gives the Tanker:

• Burst Damage: For initial Attacks the Tanker will deal huge burst damage
  
• Increase Sustained DPS when not being attacked. This allows multiple Tankers that aren't tanking to deal much more damage.
  
• Keep Tanker DPS at the same level when being attacked. Thus, a Tanker even being attacked by one opponent will see the bar begin to deplete.
  
• Increase Threat Generated. If the Tanker wants to grab the attention of an enemy, his attacks will deal tremendous damage and pull threat.
  
• The mechanics will also prevent the Tanker from being some sort of Uber Farmer because once he has aggro the bar depletes.
  

I'd buy that for a dollar.

[Redacted]

This goes completely against what the role of the tank is because it rewards a tank for not doing his job.

Further, it is just way too open to abuse. Spam holds, no aggro, tons of damage.

yes please.

my double stacked rage IO'd inv/SS tank would love to TP into a crowd and two shot them with footstomp/fireball.

or in other words, what Arcana said above.

@Arcana, Also if that number is too high it can be adjusted. The mechanic here is the main focus.

Rewarding Tankers for not having aggro seems like a bad idea.

...you have a lot of random posts with a bunch of different suggestions.

I think one key thing people are forgetting here is Gauntlet. A Tanker's attacks do AOE threat, multiple that by this new damage mechanic and a couple of hits and the spawn will be focused on you.

Yes you could theoretically have a really good Brute Taunt the group, maintain aggro and then do that... or you could just play Tank and invite a Blaster and do the same thing much easier?

I posted my toughts in the considated thread. Comes down to it feels like Tankers are penalyzind for fulfilling their design intent.

Why do Tankers need any increase in damage? Everything dies already.

I'm going to have to give a big thumbs down for this, it's effectively penalizing the tanker for doing his job and controlling aggro. This just sounds like a really bad idea... we have enough bad tanker players already who don't try to manage aggro, why on earth should we encourage bad play?
