"You pull, you tank" is a bad mentality

There is no excuse for a tank to be behind the DPS. If a DPS pulls, then clearly the tank needs to step it up. You set the pace, not the other way around. In fact, when grouped with others, there is never an excuse for anything less than immediate and continuous wall-to-wall pulls. Do not even bother to speak at the beginning of the dungeon. As soon as that barrier drops, your responsibility is to go. Period.

This whole discussion is about whether or not tanks being petty is accepted behaviour. For a community that likes to label everything as “toxic”, this discussion shouldn’t have lasted this long

Tanks should tank. End of discussion

If you refuse to tank, be something else. I suggest botanist

I am in full agreement with you, I was never arguing against Tanks doing their job, I was answering to the vacuum point of "WAR can do whatever they want no matter what the rest of the party is doing", the answer to which being, no they can't, they have far more leeway than the other three, but they still need the party to cooperate, and ideally everyone would just act like adults and do their job.

Such low iq retorts. I would suggest you find some better ones or find a different forum to browse if you can’t handle that we are right. See how that works in reverse?

Clearly you are a ego tank so this hits a nerve seeing people don’t support your bad behaviour ingame. Which we shouldn’t. You are not some god we must follow. Be a team player or go solo.

Who in the blazes is saying that Im disagreeing with it?

The balance in this game is bs and the fact that Warriors can get away with this makes me so mad I could literally punch a wall.


I mean not really since thatll hurt but the holy trinity aspect of this game is one big huge joke

Tanks are responsible for maintaining agro on all enemies, DPS are responsible for doing as much damage as possible, healers are responsibile for making sure no ones health bar goes to zero.

This isn't rocket science people.

I understand that anger well. Wish they'd take about 1/4 of WAR's healing away from it and give it to DRK.

Which makes better sense since the whole idea of FF DK is about consuming HP and absorbing HP!! Like a heavy risk heavy reward thing? Why is this game's Dark Knight design such a farcry from previous games? Literally the worst iteration of the class in the series.

This game's DRK design is just WAR after a visit to Hot Topic.

Even the DK story which people praise for is nothing compared to the superior DK story from FFXI.

But I digress, tanking in this game is bad, and people creating petty problems from both sides are doing nothing much but detract from the god awful mess the game's design is for the holy trinity.

You pull, you tank ha well how about You give me better combat!
