How do we feel about tank damage right now?

[CrimsonGunner]

im usually not like this but really enough is enough.

WTH is wrong with you all, you are bitching about tanks not doing the same dps as a dps class whose whole purpose is just that.
are you real? i mean are you real people or just trolls?complaining about why tanks dont hit as hard as a dps,is this for real?
DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THE ROLE IS ALL ABOUT?

i can understand complains about x job doing smaller dps then the rest of the jobs in their role.
i can understand complains about wishing the kit will have better rewards for executing combo and rotations (maybe will increase mitigation/lead to a burst phase or maybe lead to gain a barrier)
hell i can even understand complains about tanks probably do less then healers(which isn't like that at all) but that's not the case here.
but to compare the damage of tanks whose purpose is to absorb damage and take agro to the actual role that is in charge of actually dealing massive damage aka dps role, thats reaching a new low.

i read a lot of things in the forum and there were legitimate complains about dps. among the healers,it isn't how much dps they deal but the lack of varied things they do when they don't heal.
while WHM is in a good place this expansion SCH and AST aren't upset about their overall dps ,they upset that there is a serious lack of actions to do during healing downtime,either is applying varied buffs or debuffs and in worse case give healers more then just 1 damage skill but they never complained about why their dps isn't the same as an actual dps class.

you know who need to complain about low numbers in damage compare to dps jobs,THE CLASS WHOSE ROLE IS BEING DAMAGE DEALER IN THE FIRST PLACE WHICH THEY DO.
its their solid point and main contribution to a party. have you seen the talks about it, giving certain dps disparities between the jobs in the role and entire classes get excluded and banned because of it and why BECAUSE ITS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THEIR JOB AND WITHOUT THAT THEY CANT CONTRIBUTE IN PARTIES ,its sad but it exists.

and then you come crying and saying that tanks are a poor version of dps or they must have the same as dps role then let me tell you something that might wake you up YOU ARE NOT DPS, YOU ARE A TANK.
tanks are protectors,they guard the party from mobs,they take the full hits from the mobs and sole purpose is to make sure the mobs won't chase us fragile classes.

and last point why this is such a bad comparison and request, if you basically give a tank the same dps as those that actually specialize in damage,what is the point in having a dps job if tank can do the same amount+mitigating damage.
if such a thing was real and if SE didn't enforce the party composition(there is content that literally doesn't require specific party composition), you can basically remove all dps jobs,cause switching to a tank will be the same as being dps with the benefit of mitigation skills.the only thing that will give reason to dps classes to exist would be SE enforcement of party composition and that's it.
