    theres times when youre tanking and your solo attacking each mob, switching every attack. why are we bad tanks if we lose aggro but theyre not bad dps if they take it? ive been on a three mob and had all dps solo targeting their own target. fine, let em kill you lol

    We are only bad Tanks if Healer takes aggro and dies. If DPS dies it is their own fault.

    That would be wrong, your a bad tank if you do large pulls, dps like some of us black mages use Quelling before attacking and you cannot hold agro and in turn dps dies as they get the agro.
    That would be signs of a bad tank. As blm it is expecting to aoe so we hit every enemy. With 10 or more mobs it's not like your marking targets and dps will hit enemies one at a time.
    Comments like that i can see why such a thread would be made really. But those of you who are great tanks, your awesome

    Every time a DPS dies an Angel gets its wings. =D

    As a DPS you are expected to produce maximum dps, without taking aggro, to as many mobs as possible. This may mean for some Tanks, you have to limit your output. This does not mean that the Tank is bad, though they may be bad. The Tank is bad when the Healer is dying from Aggro anywhere near the Tank.

    The DPS is bad when they take aggro, or the healer runs out of mana, or it rains, or anyone else in the party is in a bad mood, and on every day without a Z in it.

    The Healer is never bad, they just had to go do something real quick
