I Dare anyone to find a tank on top 100... If u find, ask him if he is a monk please... lol
There's actually quite a few on primal which is what you are referring to I assume as you're from behemoth. Going by ranking for 5/10/2015 and just glancing at the list #22, #34, #44, #62, #69, #80 I have all only ever seen as tank in there. #53 and #77 are also tanks but I'm not 100% sure if its their main like the others. I'm sure there are more but these guys are just the ones I've ever only seen playing tank in feast. These guy are all also either WAR or PLD. I know of no Dark Knight within the top 100.
There's undoubtedly more I just listed some I knew that play exclusively tank and nothing else in there which I think was what the OP was wondering if there were any tanks in there that made the top 100 without piggy backing wins off another class. Atm I took a break from feast since all I really wanted was to be in the top 25 to secure a spot for the top 100 by the end of the season (plus I was turning into an a**hole even to ppl I like so I needed to step back for a bit) but I did play 3 matches tonight and will probably make a run for platinum at some point soon since I'm only 300 points away from it now.
I didnt even check your list but dont u think that is something wrong with the first one at # 22 ? And like I said, he is probably a monk... Anyway, see you in the feast...
I wrote that yesterday so the rankings have obviously changed since then but the point was yes there are a number of tank mains in the top 100. DPS will of course consist the majority of the top 100 because for one thing they take up half the slots per match and are also the easier role to carry ppl on. The monk bandwagon gets longer by the season I agree but it's still wholly possible to reach top 100 as a tank without playing as anything but tank (especially war). Given that the feast format is 2 dps 1 healer 1 tank I'd say tank is represented about as well as one would expect. Healer however seems to be noticeably absent in number.
That's easy to explain: Healers can only carry through being a lot better. You can't really contribute to damage, and only WHM can contribute to kill pressure, so carrying winds up just being "Significantly outplay the enemy healer AND both enemy DPS".
Not a lot of Bronze or Silver healers can do that, so they're stuck.
I (well, Sotek Sasara) might just have done it... Just got Gold, 948 rating, assuming bottom of Chaos doesn't change much (and it hasn't for a few days, actually people have been dropping rating enough that people are getting back onto the top 100 without any change in their rating...), that should put me at a lowly #96, having played nothing but Dark Knight in Feast...
