Tank entitlement vs group entitlement

[MariaArvana]

tank has the most responsibility. Easyness has nothing to do with that. You lose dps, you can still beat a dungeon. You lose the healer, its highly likely you are screwed, but if you have 3 close to cap you might be ok, or a rdm. You lose the tank, the run is over. nobody else has good enimity, no one else has enough survivability.

they just have more responsibility.

So that run I did of Shisui where we lost our tank after the first boss and went on to clear the dungeon tankless & without a RDM was totally over right?

Not having a tank means you have to be creative on handling the dungeon but is still doable with cooperation & planning. Not having a healer makes the run near impossible without it turning to an ultra slow, Clemency/Vercure spamming fest (and the run is basically stopped dead in its tracks if you don't have a RDM since tank self-heals are extremely limited outside of burst windows). You can say Tanks have more responsibility all you like, but they simply make the run more convenient, not necessary. Healers are far more important to the run than tanks are.

Also, Diversion/threat drops exist. It's quite easy to make a dps a de-facto tank by having one control enmity while the other doesn't.
