    Forced to DPS? No. Encouraged to DPS? Yes.

    So you're saying a tank can just sit around and not DPS at all so they can't aggro? Sure, why not?

    well that is a dumb way to put my words isnt it?
    im saying that tank shouldnt drop tanking/keeping hate/staying alive to do more dps. Is that easy enough for you to understand now?

    So you're basically saying "don't be bad", because good tanks can do all those things while contributing significant DPS.

    Considering that just tanking normally means doing some form of DPS by default, which also generates aggro (more than normal with the usual rotations because of design, what you said previously is pretty silly.

    k i guess that wasnt lowered down enough, lemme try with an example

    you are tanking in defiance mode as warrior then suddenly you feel the urge to beat your drg on parser and switch to deliverance right when the boss smash your face with a tank buster and you drop dead on the floor.
    Dont do that. I cant go lower than this, there are countless examples where tanks wiped the whole group because they tried to dps instead of tanking. And i know this sounds extremely new to some people but DPS does not mean Tanking.
