What would a new tank even contribute at this point

[sindriiisgaming]

one its the order SE does after 2 DPS is either a healer or tank and we just had a healer this expansion. so its tank and suport ranged dps in the expansion after DT also the job balance is always up and down but over all its balanced fine people just like to complain.

literally no. look at the state of rdm right now, look at war. how can u tell me job balance is fine. monk does maxium effort to do same smg as mch with no effort... things are not OK

Yeah I remember that. I played a decent amount of mch back then and I can't recall ever actually experiencing anyone denying me for playing it.
A lot of people talk about it yes. But the actual actions I guess were mostly in the elite groups.

Imo FFXIV is way better equipped than wow for creating imbalance in jobs.
You can play all jobs on one character so why not give an incentive to play other jobs.
And also the usage of DPS meters is "technically" not allowed. So only those who use them would even know/care who isn't up to par.

you dont need dps meters to calculate damage, you can do it with a spreadsheet and calculator, thats how YoshiP does it. theres also the decently reliable in game agro meter that shows 1-8 in agro. its not fool proof but its good enough. just because somebody knows your job does bad dps doesnt mean theyre using ACT

I can't recall ever actually experiencing anyone denying me for playing it

i literally had to became a rpr main because of it happening on chaos PF

because exclusion isnt incentive its an ultimatum
