You doing less damage than everyone else around you makes you want to play classes others play.
You have a class which is dealing less damage, its more boring and simple than dps, does not unfluence the party outcome such as healers do. Whats the point in playing it? It feels like a poor man dps, because besides tanking some dmg here and there you are doing a melee dps job with barebone rotation, with barely any depth at all.
And on top of that you are dealing twice less damage as a dps class does.
Tanks should deal at least 75-80% of dps damage, it does make a difference because in this game you could jump from one to another job in a second and compare.
Would you melt mobs two times faster or be a boring version of a dps that has half of its skill kit filled with situational skills and lazyass designed percentage damage reductions?
