Rumours and idiots, nothing else. It´s like the dumb statement "kiting does not work in FF14", which is clearly wrong. Ppl which are bad at tanking or bad at healing floating around and claiming nonsense. Or was it a streamer actually?

My EW experience:

- Playing WAR, running easily through the dungeons, trials and even EX content. Never used invul, kept ppl alive with my heal.
- Playing DRK, running easily through the dungeons, trials and even EX content. Never used invul, kept ppl alive with my barrier.
- Solo-carrying the shit out of Mentorroulette and several dungeons especially the 89 trial and the last MSQ dungeon.
- Still pulling as much as possible in any dungeon, no matter if it´s a low one, the gulg with its big pulls or the new once on any tank.

meanwhile:

- Seeing PLD´s dropping hard in the first big pull, yet they started to go for solopulls only until i told them how to rotate with their defs.
- When playing SGE a PLD died to the last pull before the endboss in the first new dungeon. He ran forward without waiting for the DPS and didn´t used his defs well.
- Seeing a WAR dieing to the unawareness of a healer and he claimed "as always the healer expected that i heal myself". (Healer was checking gear / glam and she is definately NOT bad, but hey, he is WAR right?)
- Was SGE in the Gulg too and the random DRK has been like "big pull inc" before the endboss. He died, no chance i was able to heal them. And guess what? The first thing in the chat was "Sorry my bad, fucked up with my defs.", so we did it again and it was surprisingly easy.

As others said, it´s up to the player behind it and that ppl trust in such rumours or go for a 30min penalty "because they´ve a DRK tank" is beyond me. The most tanks are just bad, standing still on one spot with 10 adds around and being like "healer!!!! heal!!!!", meanwhile a bunch of healers aren´t better.
