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?
Maybe dps is for you then if you wanna deal damage? Tanks have plenty of things to worry about in harder content on top of optimizing doing damage, you have to maintain a defensive cooldown rotation, party mitigation and position the boss (in fights where that is possible) and do tank specific mechanics. If that is not enough for you play dps.
