i had a guy join my t5 learning PT as a warrior yesterday and asked if he could DPS(he was decked out in melded wolfram gear), as in, he wanted to take up a DPS slot as a warrior and still have 2 other real tanks. when i not so politely kicked him from my party he thru a big tantrum about how "i didnt even give him a chance"

heres the thing, tanks need to tank, first and foremost. if you come up with some great scheme to turn your tank into DPS thats great. but dont join parties with the intention of performing another role than the one you queued for or joined the PF for. you are taking up a slot that could be used be someone who actually wants to perform that role

dont get me wrong, the guy in my t5 group and the guy the OP is talking about are probably cool people with interesting ideas, i just think those kinds of things should be saved for grouping with friends and messing around. dont force your experiments on randoms in the DF or on people in the PF who are just trying to get a simple clear
