Making Jobs Rotationally Easier in 4.0

[DaulBan]

As I've said, I'd have no problem with this if it were exclusive to one job in the guise of "unique gameplay".

It's unreasonable and irrelevant to the duties of that person.

problems of the 1% become everyone's problem.

To address these three points in particular:

Tank stance will always be dropped by tanks in order to do more damage if they so wish. Unless you wholesale nerf the base to terribad DPS you will still have people dropping stance to do more damage. I'd say that the choice to drop your tank stance is about as ingrained into tanking now as the shield stance itself.

Secondly, if you're a chartered accountant who happens to work construction, you better know how to do basic math, and DPSing as tanks is some of the most braindead activities in the game. You should at least try in difficult content to be better than the bare minimum. Again, doesn't matter in casual content but in savage content it does. I can't imagine the frustration of being in a static where the tanks did ~500 DPS and said that because they were holding aggro everything was fine on the 5% enrages. You're asking for blood from a stone (even better DPS) when you're doing the least work out there. Talk about getting carried though Savage.

Finally, if trickles down because it's the best way to do it. Anybody can try and do the suboptimal thing, and it might work, but not for everyone (the best thing can be the easiest thing in terms of DPS), or at all (running DRK/PLD and expecting to have efficient burn of adds in A9S). You expect people to make lives harder for them because you think they should be more hardcore? What are you, some elitist?! /s
