It actually makes me mad because I'm sitting there like, "WTF is this MT doing? Hitting it with a noodle?"
There's a lot of people who are running CT raids undergeared (or, rather, at the "appropriate" average gear level but with weird ilvl distributions across their gear), and a lot of people working on relics and stuff so their weapons suck at the moment. My gear isn't exactly terrible but I'm still on my atma relic stage, and I'm too cheap to buy a temporary weapon so I have a hard time holding threat against people with zodiac/poetics weapons. Plus a lot of new/unconfident tanks run full vit accessories without realising how much it hurts threat generation.
