The new raiding meta is making me want to quit.

I really wish I understood what everybody's obsession was with trying to gimp DPSing tanks. When I don't have any of my friends online and I make the mistake of joining Duty Finder solo, I can say with absolute certainty that I ADORE the ability to pick up the slack of my team and throw out enough damage to beat all but the most sharp of DPS players. I'm reasonably certain that if that power of mastery was taken away from me, the ability to be so good at my role that I'm able to do my job AND THEN some, it would push me away from tanking.

And to be frank, Tanks and Healers have been able to DPS since the advent of 2.0, but NOW it's a huge problem and everybody wants it to change?

The issue isn t that healer and tank can dps, but rather than the current content make it so that the difference between a good tank/heal and a bad one is merely the damage output of the player. What should matter in raids for tank or healer is their ability to tank or heal (eg keep player alive) and not their sheer output of DPS.

Raids of heavensward are so poorly designed that there are seldom any decent tank (such as adds to tank, as an example) or healer mechanics, which makes SE rely on healer and tank to DPS in order to create difficulty for the role.
