    I don't think it's that they are mentally challenged for other roles per say. It's just that the ones playing tanks and healers are way more noticeable. The party being dead (which is what you get with bad tank/heals) is a whole lot more likely to get someones attention than mobs dieing slower.

    I have runs where the tank does all the right things, healer does the right things, but the damages just can't kill the things before tank runs out of CDs and healer runs out of mana. On a pull that is not impossible or even awfully hard. Whose fault is it then that there is a wipe? Surely it's not the dps's who coudln't figure out how to use their skills in even remotely feasible fashion. I've had runs where me and the tank combined do more damage than the dps players together. Problem is, in aforementioned case, the dps players moan that the tank just pulled too much so the healer couldn't keep up. Conveniently passing any possible blame from their own less than splendid performance.

    Key words "Per say" I think you mean "Per Se "... Tanking takes practice and most players now a days really get frustrated. As a Tank , secondary , there is a bit more of a challenge and is even more of a pain when people don't listen. Even when tanks ask politely some DPS don't like to help out by sticking to mechanics,or targets , and rather go their own way. Sad but true. If party wipes they either blame the healer or tank. If Tank over pulls it's their fault. If They don't over pull, it's their fault. So your right. They aren't mentally challenge...( Per Se = Per se is the phrase to use when you want to refer to a particular thing on its own. It is not this Latin phrase, per se, that is important, but rather the concept it represents.)

    That's what make tanking fun at times, flawless runs are boring. Also is someone is blaming me when It's not my fault I will argue back, people need to grow a spine at times.

    After relics for all tanks jobs including (most DPS as well) including Zodiac , it becomes really stress full and makes you question common sense and your sanity...every now and then I can handle, point out, teach...I actually mentor and have a lot of patience.
