Tank outdpsing All 4 DPS possible while doing job?

Report him for using unauthorized third party software to monitor DPS and harass or insult the players, easy.

Came in to say whatever everyone else said. If the tank is out DPSing 4 DPS they're all naked using a lvl 1 weapon and put all their skill points in "Intelligence" as melee, and as the magic casters put all their points in strength.

I don't know for a fact, but isn't it completely possible for a tank to out dps melee dps simply because melee dps need to move around so much more? If a tank can sit on his ass and execute his rotation without interruption, while melee dps hase to constantly break chains, then its not impossible for tank to do more dps than melee dps.

some damage > no damage at all from dodging.

Again, dont konw if this was the case. just playing devils advocate.

I can dodge and hit Titan.

There shouldn't be lowered DPS for dodging in most cases as melee.

Well, it is possible because I routinely do it, but honestly whoever is playing the dps has to be very bad at that job. I would say an average melee dps will out-parse a tank by at least 50%. Also from my experience tanking, I have to dodge just as much as any melee dps. People use dodging as an excuse too much. Once you learn to utilize the rather long gcd this game has, dodging and keeping dps up is really quite simple for any job.

If the tank is a WAR full STR with some dps accessory its possible.

Tank classes can certainly push good DPS...but only If they go in with DPS accessories and tank without Defiance/Shield Oath using pure DPS rotations. If a tank is doing this in Titan EX...he's going to either lose hate to a healer or die to a table flip due to lack of mitigation.
