Tank dps harrasment

What does this have to do with anything at all that has been discussed in this thread?

Interesting question. It addresses tanks, tank dps, ensuing silliness and pointless conflict. It addresses the moronic over-reliance on dps logs, which are fundamentally flawed. It addresses the chronic inability of dps oriented min/maxers to chill out, and maybe put fun higher on their list of priorities. You may have to read between the lines, but it speaks to the core of why this thread even exists.

I...suppose. I honestly thought it might have been a troll post. Hm.

All my comments in this thread have been as a paladin main who has cleared through O4S in PUGs, so I'm really not sure what you are on about.

Then follow step #2 and get on with life. Here’s your ::slow clap:: for your accomplishments, now just be elite somewhere else and quit worrying about how others play the game. Relax and enjoy yourself, you’ve earned it.

Okay, and...?

I'd certainly love for you to show me a company that will fire (or even not hire) you based on someone else uploading a drunken picture of you.

Please, do share these companies' social media policies and let me know where they say that. If you can do that, I'll concede defeat.

you don't watch news out;ets much. I suggest phill defranco on youtube. People have been in the past fired over pictures on social media. Such as school teachers. Google it.

When I tank I try to do good at my job and make everything easier for the party.
However if someone ever brings up I'm not doing enough DPS, when I tank. I report them. There is no built in way to really know how much DPS someone is doing. Unless someone really isn't pulling there weight, like really isn't. That stands out.
As for anything other then current savage content it shouldn't matter.
Sadly in FFXIV Gear > Skill

I MT ARR, HW,
As for SB I HATE WARRIOR. I Feel so weak vs my hubby PLD who just started tanking in SB.
Which is great I get to not main tank now but I only played tank to begin with for quick queues.
I only ever got called out on my DPS as a warrior once when turn 4 was new content.

Another good example is the woman who was just fired because someone snapped a picture of her flipping off Trump's motorcade in spite of the fact that she was on her own time and the picture showed nothing connecting her to the company, nor did any of her social media profiles. The company still said it was "bad for their image" and terminated her anyway.

Slightly ironic in that she's the one who told her company about it. Since you can't see her face in the picture it's unlikely they would have been able to identify her if she hadn't said anything.

If you're familiar enough with the class you're looking at you don't need a parser to tell when someone is sandbagging it even if they're not playing poorly in an obvious way. Using the wrong moves, not landing positionals, casting the wrong spells, not using CDs, having too much MP, having too much TP, standing idle for long periods of time--these are all things that lead to subpar performance and they're all very easily observed with your eyes.

Oh DPS, how I love thee. Let me count the ways...

1. If you’re not in a static and find yourself in a group with a tank that tanks, first go roll a tank of your very own.

2. STFU, put your head down and just do your jerb... If you really cared about tank dps, you should go git gud and show everyone how a “real” tank does it.

3. Rick James would say: “EFF yo dps logs!” If you were playing for fun, you would turn that trash off and grind out your duty assignments. Nobody made you roll dps and only you care about the size of your dps e-peen.

4. Stop whining and crying about your awesome dps queue times.

Signed,
I’m having a blasty blast — you’re not.

You have a point there.

Since I roll tank in my group of 6 (+2 PF'ed people) we don't have to bother with 30 apm tanks with 100%-ShO/Grit/Defi. uptime, without shirk and reprisal, doing 20+ emnity combos and sitting on full gauge/mp all the time.
You see? I don't even need this baaaaad "dps" to judge a player. I can even hear the superfluous Skull sunder/BB Combos and all the other information are available in-game, too.

Signed,
a tank that tanks (and cares about his performance)

Saying that Gear > Skill in FF is wrong on so many levels.
Also War is great in SB, it's not weak at all when played properly. And another thing, reporting anyone who says you're not pulling your weight is a pretty childish behaviour, whether they use a parser or not, just saying.

Wrong moves, Ya but basic rotation, tanks have 3 combos, for there primary rotations.
We are talking about Tanking. Outside of overpower what Positionals, What DPS spells, (I don't know anything about DRK at all),Sorry as a warrior MP not an issue. PLD Self cures and flash oo Not DPS... Having to much TP Means Your spamming overpower to much. Being AFK is being afk.

It's not or people wouldn't be able to clear turn 9 still but GEAR is greater then > skill.
As soon as people over gear for content you get to skip phases of battle. This isn't skill this is gear being greater then content > skill.

Also for basic take a look at this.
