I feel like im trolling if I dont tank as warrior...

[NekoMataMata]

I've been going GNB in roulettes and we can survive and I tank just fine. Not putting any additional stress on the healer because I see most dps a lot. I'm a healer main so that probably helps. I don't panic if they let me get low since I know their capabilities. Only had issue with a WHM in a Stone Vigil run only casting Cure so I just dialed pulls back.

WAR is kind of fun for the "warrior is immortal" meme but I feel like I earn it a bit more with GNB.

All tanks earn their completions the same though.

The reason WAR is overpowered in casual content is because it doesn't rely on the team nearly as much.

On the complete opposite you have DRK which has lots of mitigation and lots of damage, but it needs some healing, and it needs for the DPS to clear the mobs quickly.

The only person you're potentially trolling by not choosing WAR is yourself, because your teammates could be absolutely horrid during the W2Ws. But on the opposite side, if you have a team that's actually competent, DRK is probably the tank that will help clear the duty the fastest.

Am I alone in this? Am I wrong? Are warriors really this much more powerful than other tanks? This feels off. I enjoy the way gunbreaker and dark knight play much more than warrior but warriors out here soloing basically everything. Or am I just bad at other tanks?

Warrior is life.

WAR is comically overpowered in dungeon content. But its also just a really easy job either way.

Man, it's been a while since I saw one of these extremely ill-informed "nerf WAR plz" threads.

No one has said anything about nerfing WAR. In fact, they should buff the other tanks defensives so they aren't harder to play than WAR. It's unfair that only WAR can carry parties.

This was primarily my point. I dont want warriors to feel weaker, but I just feel like I am gimping my party a bit if I queue up as one of the other tanks.

Yes I am talking about "casual" content.

The number of times I've "carried" a party as PLD when both healers and all rezzers died due to PLD's healing abilities would disagree with the thought that only WAR can carry parties.

Also, for the OP, I've been tanking largely as PLD for a few years now, and never felt like I'm trolling anybody.

Am I wrong?

Yes.

For dungeons sure maybe

In raids drk gnb is still meta for dps

Only WAR can carry parties? Hang on, lemme just...

If you have problems in dungeon the reason isnt wrong jobs but skill issues.
