Am I the only one fed up with DPS obsession?

[Shuri]

Yes.

But to expand on the reasoning why it's important is because the game is designed with certain DPS checks at a certain level of gear.

What? enrage timers have existed for pretty much most MMO bosses for the majority of MMOs... doesn't mean they had to buff tank damage.

I agree with OP - I miss the times where tanks were there to generate threat, mitigate damage and stop others from dying. Look at PLD in XI, or vanilla WoW warriors. That's what tanking should be.
