This is a Fallacy in which you werent paying attention to the previous points or perhaps theres a comprehension issue or maybe you dont or have never "tanked" in pvp

1: the roles after 6.1 are meaningless, if there were roles then i assume all tanks would effectively play the same but they dont so no point was missed all roles are basically DPS, which means the wheels have been off
2 : distraction is futile effort when the healing potency/sustainabilty is less than the damage output of your opponent this tactic was prevalent but again is no longer , and to say its more tuned to survival further illustrates the point you are missing which is the exact opposite,
3: didnt say i wanted to do more damage i was illustrating another flaw however even before 6.1 PLD was still pretty weak the issue is its skillset as a whole which is ineffective

lastly i understand trolling and the forums go hand in hand but at least have something conducive to the conversation
