    Eh. Just give them the damage. Everyone wants to be a DPS now a days anyway.

    Me myself I don't like to play tanks not because of the damage but because of the "lead" of the party thing.

    I hate the "everyone" argument. Speak for yourself. As a tank I'm more concerned on properly keeping the aggro than on doing some more numbers. My dps is ok, but if I'm a tank, I focus on tanking. And what's with the "lead" thing? It's better to have a tank pulling rather than the DPS doing it and wiping with 2 hits.

    Tanks lead the party. I'm saying that's why I don't like playing them. They decide the pace of the run. In dungeons anyway. And with the "pull everything" mentality I'm not comfortable trying to keep hate on 8+ mobs. Thus I don't like playing tank. I also don't like my tanks not keeping hate or dying to a tank buster cause they refuse to use tank stance cause they don't want to impact their precious DPS.

    Give how much damage? If you are saying give Tanks the same damage as DPS, then what is even the point of having DPS jobs then when DPS could go into a dungeon as a tank and have the extra defence and HP. Only thing to preventing 3 Tanks 1 healer in a dungeon is DF which you can get around with a full premade party.

    I meant give them their DPS that they normally have outside of tank stance while in tank stance. IE remove the damage penalty. That's if they removed tank stance or w/e... but I'm over the bad tanks I had the last few days, so... I could care less what they do to tanks now? lol. (Sorry)

    I think those people just have to use a dps job. They have a huge number of jobs to choose from: melee, physical, magical, ranged and not ranged. Tanks are... three options in total? Healers too.

    Speak for yourself. I started as DPS then quickly fell in love with Tank and healing as well. Tanking I love most of all.
