Tanks that think they are DPS, just stop...

[ADVSS]

So, your healers don't get to dps at all during a fight like susano, I'd imagine. I mean, even with tank stance and cooldowns -it hurts-.

Are you sure your dps is worth more than that of the healers? By any measure?

it should be, Tanks are basically expected to whack enemies to hold their attention, healers are supposed to whack allies to keep them alive.
And the diversion excuse is stupid too. It lazilly "shirks" a tanks responsibility of commanding and controlling hate to the dps. If they had any since Shirk wouldve been Yoink - a skill that steals enmity from the entire party at the tanks command and gives it to them. No healer or dps wants that much aggro on them except in some unvonventional settings, that go against the predetermined party set up anyway

making dps solely responsible for enmity generation, taking that away from tanks, and their damage/enmity generating stat, then angering both the healing community and tank community for trying to make dps more responsible and bore tanks to death with a snorefest, vit only yoy dont deal damage now you tank, and let dps use enmity controlling skills or you lose hate, rediculous. Just pushing more tanks away, and thats not what we want

The only reason shirk is even a good ability is for those dark knights that didnt bother levelling gladiator to get provoke. Oh wait that cant happen anymore.
