Is it really rewarding to play tank/heal role?

[AlexSag]

I think the answer to the question is going to boil down to what one finds rewarding. As a tank, I don't really care about my DPS (which makes me a pariah on the forums). As long as I'm going through my rotations properly, the damage is what it is. The things I find most rewarding in the game are those huge dungeon pulls when everything is hitting you and you have to properly use your cool downs to buy your party enough time to kill everything or popping a cool down right before a tank buster and shrugging off the damage. Some of those most fun I've had in the game is when the healer fucks up a mechanic and dies or disconnects and the pressure is on me to stay alive until the DPS can kill the boss. Nothing, so far, has shown me SB is going to have any less of that and I'm looking forward to many more of those moments.

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

Playing tank is extremely rewarding. Doubly do when you turn the boss around and cleave the group.

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

leg sweep, jump, fire jump, jump v2.0 vs Low blow(randomly pops up), reprisal , salted earth, Carve and spit, dark passenger, plunge.

4 (DRG) vs 6 (DRK). With low blow possibly being ready at any given point in time off a parry proct. Add this on top of blood weapon lowering gcd to about 1.6 seconds instead of 2-2.5, and the managing of the correct use of Dark Arts.

This will change soon. But right now the point stands that DRK probably has the highest, or one of the highest APM out of all the jobs currently.

Geirskogul, power surge, dragon blood, life surge, blood for blood, internal release, battle litany, and invigorate. So 6 vs 12. I only included dps ogcds, though. Also carve and spit has a pretty long cd, so that doesn't contribute to the APM count very much. you didnt seem to count some of DRk's OGCDs, so I think you are thinking attacks per minute not actions? DRK is probably still top though for how many times dark arts is used.

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.

Lolz, my dps as a whm must be off the charts with a DS medica2, regen, and a cure2 spam. I'm always #1 on the aggro list!

Healer gains enmity from healing

DPS gains enmity from DPS


But ok.
