    This video is a bunch of totally overgeared people, and even they wiped a few times. That's why the video starts with almost 2 limit bars filled.


    Claiming tank DPS is fine so long as you are overgeared for the encounter is absolutely moronic and missing the entire point of this thread.
    i95 = allagan weapons, how many allagan weapons do you see?

    They died? so what. Lots of groups with 5 dps and 1 tank die attempting titan. Does that mean DPS classes are gimp?

    And who cares if their gear is better? First, there's a guy in hoplite in there and some are wearing darklight gear with their +1 weapon, so it's not all i90. Second, if tank DPS was so "pathetic" then it wouldn't matter what they had.

    It also wasn't a clean run. 1 PLD fell off at 50% and they lost another healer after that. And they got hit by plumes and bombs too. The benefit of them all being tanks is they can live through it (even in sword oath, no defiance) and they're still standing to do DPS.

    Did you forget that 6 tanks means no DPS limit break whatsoever. The difference between my group and this group is that we had a monk for the limit break. The only real possible sticking point in this fight for tanks would be not enough DPS to break the heart. By making sure we built up two bars for the LB, we cleared the heart phase easily, even if someone had fallen off the ledge.

    As the poster said above, multiple tank groups against titan were a thing before 2.1. As was stated, nobody wanted to bring warriors because PLD were just flat better at staying alive before 2.1 and you don't need 2 tanks for this fight at all. It's very possible whatever you want to believe.

    EDIT: i'm also not saying that tank DPS is fine in that they can wholly and totally replace a DPS class. I'm saying it's fine in that they still provide a solid contribution to the group, and yes, when you over gear content, can replace a DPS class that is geared properly to some extent.
