    I don't know what to tell you other than you had shit tanks
    Yes, that was my point. Too many people in DF wanted to play them like they were DPS with tank queue times. Warriors were inexplicably especially guilty of this; it got to the point where I started to dread ending up with a WAR "tank" in roulette dungeons.

    or weren't pressing quelling strikes.
    Quelling Strikes wasn't available to every non-tank nor did it have a cd short enough to be available for every pull in a dungeon.

    Additionally, I lost count of how many of these "DPS tanks" tried to tell me or others to "just pop quelling" or whatever after letting one of us die, instead of admitting their fault. Uhh, no, how about you stop being terrible at tanking, instead? Nobody cares about your max damage; any "remotely competent" DPS will be outdamaging you regardless.

    As for healers DPSing, uh - yeah. Like 80% of your GCDs in everything but ultimate or Floor 3 savage fights are probably gonna be Broil 3. This is because of how predictable the damage in-take in FFXIV is, and how they've done nothing but provide us healers with OGCD healing tools that are obscenely powerful.
    Except that wasn't what I asked. Let's try this again -- would you still be okay with that healer spamming Broil endlessly if it meant they didn't adequately perform their actual role, and let people die? Or would you be telling him to go as a DPS instead?
