The whole get good is just people buying into the whole if you are a good tank/healer you are dealing 700-1000dps while doing your job mentality when in all honesty that is not your job. A good tank should be judged on dmg negated not dmg delt.

Soooo agree with you. I was doing A1S as PLD in a learning group. There were two people there who have it on farm, one of them being WAR main (but he was on BRD). We couldn't beat Faust, so they told me to get some STR accessories. We leave, I spend the Law for Yasha Slaying stuff, re-enter. Attempting to focus on doing damage rather than negating damage received, I was told I suck as a tank. Like, really? Was it MY fault that the DPS players couldn't be Faust to begin with?

I always tell people, "If you want a tank that can dps, do not invite me; I am 100% a VIT PLD.". That said, I just stay on NIN as much as possible.

If you can't beat faust that isn't the tanks fault for sure that is some bad dps.

Which brings the need of official parsers back on the plan, but that can also divide the community due to the elite behavior of some players knocking on it, '1500+ DPS or bust'.

That's already happening without official parsers.
