An excellent change. Plus also tried out the new WB scoreboard today in the All-Gobbo Waaaghband and it is a welcome addition. Always wanted to see what my stats were in RvR groups.- Cleansing a DoT now counts as protection on scoreboards. The value is the remaining non-crit damage of the DoT.
I agree, I am not sure how they could make it count as something else though. Some heal build like zealot/ruine can have huge amounts of protection already. I guess we will have to see how much the cleanse counts for in practice. It would be sad to see the Tanks not get a bonus in the only thing left for them on the scoreboard.Aethilmar wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 4:21 pm "Cleansing a DoT now counts as protection on scoreboards.

I see where this is coming from BUT the one thing that tanks have over the other classes is, theoretically, the ability to win the "protection" scoreboard. However, the more things you define as "protection" that are accessible to other classes means an increasing chance that tanks don't even have that.
For example, damage mitigated by detaunt counts as protection. I have been able to rack up a few thousand protection points on my MDPS by detaunting and I have seen WP rack up much more substantial protection scores (100k+) over the course of SCs.
So now there is yet another avenue by which tanks can be outperformed by another class in one of their key metrics.
