I'm not even going to bother tanking 24x raids in 3.0

If you're new to this and want to try it. Make sure to have at least a few str accessories and you're near ilevel cap for the dungeon. Start on standard dungeon bosses and learning to manage your defensive CD's.

Not new actually. I find myself Tanking dungeons more than playing as any other role, including since the earlier times of me playing this game. (Though I won't say my timing on defense management is entirely perfect either. I'm human and make mistakes too, lol) I'm more just the type of player who'd rather be safe than sorry, especially considering most of my runs are in random DF groups that I have no clue if they're even good or not. (Though a bit of progress into the dungeon will sometimes tell me if the healer could handle me going DPS stance on them)

I'd probably be more open to going DPS mode as a Tank if I more often worked in groups of people I trusted would get my back on healing, even if I went full Slayer accessory and DPS stance on them. Depending on the boss while I'm MT, I may switch to Sword Oath or turn off Defiance if I feel like I'm not getting hit hard enough that I need the defense stance up.

And... this is just my opinion, but I don't consider lower DPS output on a Tank to be THAT much of a problem to the party. (Unless they start having trouble holding hate, THEN it's a problem) Yes, my standards aren't that high, lol. I don't mind spending an extra minute or two in a dungeon... most of the time. Though DPS that don't keep their DPS up is a different matter to me. I once saw a DRG who only used Full Thrust over and over and over and over- *Bricked*
