tanks do wayy too much damage for their tankiness

[Seifu]

Warriors and Paladins do not do "maybe lil lower" damage. They do roughly half the DPS in most fights that a true DPS does. Even if I geared fully for damage I wouldn't be able to touch a job that is designed for damage. Their skills are far better for it than a warrior or paladins skills. Combined with the fact that strength ring drops aren't readily lootable by tanks making the gear required annoying to get.

On a dummy I'll get 220DPS in Sword Oath(400STR) and 250DPS out of Defiance (437STR).

and? I'm assuming there was some purpose to posting numbers that you'd never actually see in a real battle. Also those numbers are considerably lower than a real DPS would put out in the same situation.
