Agreed. Probably a new healer. I've had some amazing tanks that were DRKs, for example , so I really think it can often be a case of someone playing a job they enjoy. That often tends to bring out the best in anyone.I personally don’t think that any one tank is worse than another—but my anecdotal experience for healing dungeons has taught me that:
—WARs tend to be the most comfy
—PLDs tend to be the safety Clemency gamers OR the no CDs at all tank
—DRKs just tend to be squishy even with proper CDs
—GNBs tend to be DPS wanting a tank queue because they don’t seem to understand how to play a tank in general
But that’s just my anecdote. I’ve had several dungeon runs with really good tanks for all four tank jobs. Some of my best ones tend to be WARs or DRKs. Last week while I was leveling SCH, I had a DRK in the 87 dungeon that was way more comfy to heal than the synced GNB I’d had the previous run—and the DRK was still in mostly i530 stuff. Did the same pulls and everything.
