To Mr.Yoshida and dev. [DRK 5.2 Request]

[John_Milter]

Nowhere did I say my personal opinion is how anyone should gauge where DRK is at on a balance scale with other tanks. My personal opinion is giving the reason why I am not choosing DRK over PLD. If I feel the way I do, chances are other people do as well. To discount personal anecdotes just because they are anecdotes is the hallmark of an intellectual echo chamber mentality. Personal anecdotes are real, because they are how people think, regardless what your flawed endgame metrics show you. You aren't going to change how people think by just saying "You need to git gud", which is exactly what you did using different words. I survive fine with your average PUG healer. I survive better with PLD. That is me. Nowhere did I claim to speak on behalf of all tanks, which means you are arguing against nobody with your snarky comments.

When a ShB dungeon boss is at 10% and DRK is the only person alive, you are NOT going to outlast the boss before you die, no matter how "GUD" you are. The self-heals are just not there. Quit pretending like you will. You at least have a chance with PLD.

You haven't added anything of value to this conversation other than "anecdotes are bad, git gud with metrics or gtfo of the thread". That's snobby and elitist.

Its pretty unlikely that the other tanks would fair better in those situations, Yeah you have a chance with PLD but at the cost of your dps. Its not like being good at a tank really matters when the rest of your team is garbage in the first place.

Also "If I feel the way that I do chances are other people do as well" lmao
