It seems like

It's alway the dps's fault. No matter what happens it's always blamed on the dps sadly. If the tank loses hate, if the healer doesn't get the heals off, if the mobs aren't melting fast enough, if you didn't get your drop or there's lag no matter what it is its blamed on the dps.ill admit I'm bias cause I play mostly dps even though I can heal I find it boring so I don't do it often and I've never tanked in this game. But it's just to easy the pass the buck onto the dps. This is just a pointless rant but wth this is a forum after all.

I have seen a tank blame the DPS in M3 for not taking down the heart fast enough when the tank was the one who refused to move the boss (let's just say I'm never selecting English only again), but other than that? No, I'm not even sure we're playing the same game, it's always the healer or tank to take the blame unless the DPS did mess up, healer and tank do take more hate but they're a mess up from them can result in a wipe. This is coming from someone who only plays DPS. Sure, when it comes to DPS checks the DPS are blamed, but in that case some of them are at fault.

Indeed. Now try being one. Not saying DPS don't get blamed, but they get blamed less than healers and tanks.

There's always going to be people in situations like this who will only ever say...

It's always the dps fault

Always the tank

Always the healer

Everyone gets blamed at different times

Sometimes it's a legitimate call out on their part, sometimes people are just clueless.

Happens.

Honestly, it's rarely difficult to tell which role is struggling. The problem often comes from people refusing to adapt when the situation calls for it. As a DPS, if I notice I'm partied with an undergeared tank, I'll avoid pushing my DPS because I know I'll pull hate from them. They might be new and trying to get a handle for their job. Likewise, if the healer is getting a bit overwhelmed, I'll pop Bloodbath/Second Wind or even just tell them to focus on the tank. This works in the same if it's the DPS struggling.

Now if a person's just being plain lazy, I might let them die depending on my mood. :D

HA play a healer then come back and tell us all how little dps get blamed in comparison, the only gripe i have with DPS is not avoiding AOEs and being lazy with rotations when max dps is needed.

I blame Weavers for screw ups, personally.

He jumped too high and lost his spear?

As a Tank, the only problem I've had with DPS has been them running forward and getting a lead on hate before I can catch up... Or worse, targeting a different group of enemies while I'm pulling, ending up nearly causing a wipe...

The big thing I've noticed with the DPS/Tank/Healer dynamic is that Healers and Tanks get most of the commendations; the healer is almost guaranteed a commendation from the tank, and vice-versa, because they heavily rely on each other. The DPS's are incredibly important for getting through the dungeon, but it's not often they get the recognition they deserve, in my experience.

Likely because no one can tell if a DPS is doing decent or poorly without paying attention to them, it's not difficult to tell if a Healer or Tank is doing a great job, but with DPS it's not as simple. Sometimes you think "Wow, this dungeon went fast!" but then you do "the math" and see that it was the Tank's and Healer's DPS that made the run faster than usual.
