Tanks

[RVT]

It just takes a special kind of person to take up the responsibility of tanking or healing. Sadly, there are less of said kinds of people than there are of people who just want to burn the target, dodge stuff, receive win.

Responsibility? Completely depends on the fight. Tanking Titan HM, for example, consists of spam combo and stand and look pretty. Meanwhile, DDs have a tremendous amount of moving around, dodging, continually DPSing. They are the ones responsible for burning the heart down before total wipe.

Again, DD roles like BRD have the responsibility of silencing potential wipe mechanics in endgame. Pre-50, knowing when and what mobs to sleep can prove vital. And so on...

I admire tanks and healers for taking up (what I view as) less engaging/exciting roles, but I don't value them higher than good DPS. There is a balance to these things.
