At the start of beta they did a set of set nerfs to dps defensives and self healing saying it would let them reduce overall damage cause less defensives to balance around while buffing some baseline heals to all healers and maximim health scalling.
They then said the same thing again nerfing tank survivabilty across the board like 3 weeks from launch (which everyone rightfully panicked about cause it was some pretty last second changes) justifying that if tanks take more total damage they could lower damage to the rest of the groups and give healers a more rot style of healing.
They then lowered the damage a tiny amount and changed a few bursty spells in dungeons to appear less frequently then called it a day. “lowering the damage” like theyd said the whole of beta.
I guess i meant bullet point 2 not option since the syntax changed
