Fair enough. Based on that information, i'll give savage a go on my tank (once i finish it with my healer main of course), and reserve my judgement till then.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not *entirely* disagreeing with you here. I believe all roles are capable of a little extra damage here and there, but i do feel that in something as my first time for example, i won't be focusing on pumping out damage as a tank, i'll be focusing on learning how to tank it.

As for earlier content, the same principles apply really. Was it made easier by tanks dpsing where they could, yeah. Was it 100% you're going to fail if they dont.. no.
