Chances are that as soon as I level up my GNB and DRK to 90 though I'll always use WAR/PLD as my tanks since those are super self sustaining.

Similar sentiment, except reversed in order.

I just cleared the “Tank You” achievement for PLD yesterday for their mount and started going into leveling, 5678, and expert as a GNB. I’m definitely noticing once again the sheer differences in their self sustaining capabilities on firsthand. Cooldowns are well rotated. I spam Corundum as much as possible. I let them know I’m going to bolide to have an addition cooldown on my disposal & to not give them a heart attack.

Currently sitting at 204/300 for GNB, I’m already dreading for the day when I’ll start going in as a DRK for that achievement, which only had like 70’ish out of 300 needed credits.

Level 83 dungeon. Tank tells the healer at the beginning that he will pull w2w. Healer is OK with it. I'm dps so all is good...
Until the dungeon starts and the tank WALKs from wall to wall but doesn't bother to attack all of them. Have to run inside his pull to get the aggro off because he doesn't take them. Why is it always the tanks that claim they will w2w that can't do it?

I just had this happen today. Tank immediately says at the start "Big pulls okay?" Healer said sure. Tank proceeds to single pull literally the entire dungeon. Tank lowkey gave me caveman vibes. They didn't even take aggro half the time, so me and the other DPS almost died a few times due to random mobs smacking us.

At least GNB gets Corundum + an extra Aurora charge at endgame. Plus DRK just feels so anti-cooperative. Living Dead and The Blackest Night both require a Healer to work with you. If you're shielded or your Blackest Night isn't popped before it runs out, then you don't get Dark Arts. If you're healed up during Living Dead you just outright die. Superboli isn't nearly that bad thankfully. GNB midgame is a bit rough though. If your healer isn't up to snuff you can't really out sustain a lot with just one Aurora per minute.
