    I play Tank, but I also play DPS classes.

    I however tend not to focus on Ranged or Caster DPS.. Many people are exactly the same as this, in fact a lot of players level a DPS and a Tank (or Healer).. Divide the number of DPS with the number of "styles" of DPS you have and you have a more accurate number...

    Just because someone mains a DPS job, doesn't mean they like ALL DPS roles (Melee/Caster/Ranged)

    This. Heck, I dont even like the other tank jobs. I leveled everything to 60, but I really only play PLD and DRG, and occasionally WHM and Bard. I avoid casters like the plague, I just dont enjoy them. Not a big fan of Nin or MNK either, so that just left me with 1 melee dps to play, out of 7.

    Pretty much agree. Tossing all DPS together is a grave mistake. I'll make a list of my preferences:

    1 - Casters
    2 - Pet classes
    3 - Ranged
    4 - thief/rogue/burglar/assassin/ninja with daggers and stealth
    5 - Sword melee
