Does tanking carry more responsibility than most?

Since you bring up Coil:

T1 - DPS dies, snakes gain more stacks, kill tank, kill party.

T2 - DPS dies, cant kill nodes, too many stacks, wipes party. Die before enrage = dead for good = less DPS = potential that healer will run out of MP = wipe.

T4 - Literally a DPS race. Without DPS being on top of their game you won't make it past this turn no matter how good your healers or tanks are.

T5 - DPS die, can't kill Dreadknight quick enough, Dreadknight goes on a killing spree, wipe. Also, y'know, conflags.

Everybody carries the same responsibility, everyone works with eachother to make every dungeon easier on everyone else.

nicely said.

You're trying too hard.



Tanking carries more responsibility since usually when the tank fails the repercussions are far more severe than for any other role. In most fights if one or two dps dies they can be easily ressed without it really affecting the outcome, hell, I've killed Ifrit EX where ALL dps died after 3rd set of nails because they all failed the plumes. Healers ressed them and we killed it.

Usually tank failing means the whole party wipes. In most fights losing a healer or dps really isn't that big of an issue and you can easily recover.

Whatever floats your boat, really. Ultimately like I said previously, it's team work. There is indeed stress on tanks. I play PLD alongside my main BRD but I never thought that I have the most responsibility in the team when I tank. If I have screwed up healers or DPS, the battle is never won anyways.

whatever

You serious? Which part of "this game is not solo mario" did you not understand?

Usually if "NOOB" tank dies, we have.......you are right, the Off-tank!! So stop looking yourself in the mirror and smell the air, you are not that special, hell no one is, everyone is replaceable, get over yourself.
