The same is true for tanking.

    Currently, it's not worthwhile to be a skilled tank because the game does not reward it. It is, however worthwhile to be a skilled DPS.

    "Currently" with the current jokes of DPS check.

    I've read nonsense but this one takes the cake. And of course still no facts, numbers to back up that claim.
    I've seen enough, thanks for the good laugh.

    So long as you have a group of eight players able to play team jumprope, raid DPS is the only thing that matters. Even after you make the check, having higher DPS totals means that you bypass mechanics and clear more efficiently. Tanking, as it stands, confers next to no additional benefit for skilled play. So long as someone can press the invuln button at the correct timestamp, it doesn't really matter who you have in that role. That's the problem with tanking. And doubling down on bad design choices and overpowered mitigation/sustain tools is what's reinforcing this status quo. Tanking has become a culture of mediocrity.
