Tanks

[Rizzo_]

Most mechanics look like this in MMOs with the holy trinity:

Tank dies, hard to recover or complete wipe.

Healer dies, hard to recover or complete wipe.

DPS dies, rez or no rez instantly won't matter much, group recovers as if nothing happened.

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.

This is it exactly. The DPS role seems too easy at times compared to Tank or Healer since there's barely any responsibility. I would definitely pick up the tank role in the future if I find a tank job I like

Except that's not that in reality, look at titan, one death, whoever it is, means wipe.
Same for all DPS Check.

But that's only in one aspect and also titan is more about skill rather than jobs

Every extreme primal has DPS checks as well as Twintania in Coil, they throw enrage timers on everything for just this reason

that's not even true, whether you're talking about story titan, or hm titan, or titan x

you can easily recover from losing a dps (my first titan x kill we had 3-4 deaths throughout, still managed to meet the dps checks)

to be fair though, there are quite a few openings where you can lose a tank/healer and still have time to rez them and recover

but.. if a tank or healer eats a landslide, that's almost always a wipe, a dps though? yeah you can 7 man titan x

Thats absolutley no true, you can easily kill titan with a dps down the whole fight, even with 2 down if the rest of the pt is goog geared and skilled. Titan is NO Dps Check as almost everybody thinks. The Heart goes down so fast and easy even with 1 or 2 Dps missing its no problem. In worst case you can also lb and have a healer go cleric stance.

Just to add to your post, Titan HM has been 3 or 4manned already. It can also be cleared with 6 or 7 WHMs and no DPS (or only just a Bard for Foe Req). The DPS role is not required whatsoever. Cleric Stance has made sure of that.

You might want to change your wording, because the way you have it right now makes you look pretty silly.

Only in over geared party. Doing a level 80 boss in Relic and Allagan is not the norm.

They still have it easier though. Healers have to know about everything or people will just die to Tumults/Mountain Buster. Then they have to deal with being in Gaol... because healing wasn't thankless enough.

This is what I like about Ultima. Tanks and healers dying there is not too bad. You just raise them and recover.

While the moment a tank drops in Garuda EM, it's wipe. Any of them. While if a caster dies... actually, they don't even have a risk of dying there
