Is it really rewarding to play tank/heal role?

[Yorumi]

Tank is the most difficult role to play.

No it's really not. Not even close. Tank is actually probably the easiest role to play. Many boss mechanics outright ignore tanks, enmity isn't even remotely an issue, and as far as dpsing goes tanks have among the easiest of rotations to maintain.

I'd actually agree with this. I think healers have it the hardest, then any of the turret or melee DPS, then fire/forget move_friendly DPS, then tanks.

Tanks might have a less forgiving knowledge/gear meta maybe (rightfully so, imho), but the job itself isn't that hard when you are actually in the game doing the job.

Well, sort of. You are perfectly right that tanks are no harder than dps or healer to play well.
The difference is that when a tank makes mistakes it is often very obvious, while a dps can often do a half-assed job without anyone really noticing.

When is SE going to make that DPS meter though.

Its called enmity.

I can always see who sucks at DPS without using a third party program.

Reading you loud and clear! Will not use Diversion, even though your optimal rotation will involve using as few enmity combos as possible. o7

that only works till you have a ninja in the party

Or any dps who knows how to manage their enmity. Ya know, that old chestnut.

It stays the same. They help you build a bigger lead but you still see who doesn't even register on the threat meter and who is pushing you.
