I have to admit, I never found TTK is that big an issue, particularly once you hit vanq-level with a dps. Sov tanks are beastly tbf. I remember we played in a city against a premade that ran 1-3-2 party compositions, and they did very well indeed. Plenty SCs I played in with very odd, dps-heavy compositions and did quite well.
In T1 certain classes are just insanely difficult to kill (shammie + archmage).
You can quite often replace 1 tank with a dps in a lot of parties and do very well.

There is already a tactic for this.

Dude, how do I make you understand that the game is not good it does not feel good. yes, there is a tactic for that but it is not enough.

I am kind of new, but my understanding is that DPS tanks taking this tactic will get laughed out of a warband. The trade off just isn't there. It dents your armor and resistances too much to make the 15 percent damage increase worthwhile. None of the two hander builds I have seen shared take that tactic.

Nobody should use the tactic but it fits in "less tanky more damage", what was asked for.

Look, I don't know if you've followed the thread, but there they mention a multi-account troll, well, it's that boy.

There is a lot to digest in this post. While I'm not an authority on any of those areas, they do sound like worthwhile issues to address. I would like to say I couldn't agree more regarding the RvR issues, especially in concern of both casual, solo, small-scale play styles.
