Why Don’t You Tank Poll

[Raldo]

Too boring. Keeping hate is child's play. Then you find yourself pushing DPS since keeping hate is easy, and then you ask yourself... Why not just play a DPS class? DPS classes are more interesting.

I don't mind tanking in raid content, but faceroll content it's just... ugh.

Thanks. I created the post on my phone at first. But I'll try that just in case.

Tanking is WAY less stressful for me than healing.

I was pretty much always stuck in the tank role since 2.0 and finally got out of it in SB (though may have to go back next raid tier sadly).

I was already annoyed with tanking, but SB kind of tipped me over the edge for several reasons. One of the foremost was the completely killing of accessories for tanks after they changed our damage from a mix of VIT/STR back to just STR. It was a 2 steps back moment after finally addressing an issue tanks had. Followed by one of the most nonsensical reasonings for doing it making me lose any faith this team understands what they are doing with tanks.

Tenacity was also pretty underwhelming considering it was supposed to be the fix to the very long issue of parry.

Beyond the SB mishaps, the core gameplay of tanks is bad. The focus on DPS is annoying. If I wanted to DPS I would just DPS (and presently am). Doing EX and savage as a tank is also annoying as you usually have to deal with all the mechanics everyone else does, plus tank specific mechanics too. And wiping over and over really gets draining in a fight. I also think I would go insane if I had to progress through even a single boss again that forces you to tank swap. Its a boring and highly overused mechanic they jam in just to justify 2 tanks.

The main point though is all together tanking has too many issues to be fun and the devs have inspired no confidence in me that they know how to develop tanks pushes me away from tanking.
