A Tankless Job

[Solrak]

SE needs to seriously learn that adding rewards won't entice people to play a class, making a class that's fun to play in the first place will make people play it. But as it stands being a tank is the shit job in almost all content, is the most stressful, and when you mess up something it's the most obvious and you tend to get the most ridicule because of it. I've been leaning more and more away from tanking because of just how frustrating I find it in this game compared to most other MMO's I've played. It's just really not that fun, nor worth the stress I tend to go through.

That's very far from the true... Tanks are not shitty jobs, tanks are the most challenging job in this game (and fun once you play it well) and that's why many ppl is so afraid of trying it.

I completely disagree. I've been tanking since beta and it's really just not that fun after a while. Early dungeons were fun, but once I hit endgame it's become one of the worst experiences ever. One large part is just the poor combat design and unresponsiveness of the controls. It really feels like the pace of combat is split, where enemies move and get to act faster than the players do. The gear itemization is poor too, gearing up is boring as my options of mitigation gear is....parry. There's nothing else to pick from. Tanks feel like a glorified DPS half the time.

Tanking in this game is just unrewarding, not fun, and all of the "challenge" comes from bad design.

Sure, lets blame bad design again because you don't like something. Maybe you just don't like it. Opinions are yours. Do not blame the Design of something because you do not enjoy it. That is the same as saying spoons made one fat.

I have tanked since 1.0, done a lot of endgame content though i do not have a static anymore. I still don't have these mounts, nor am i close. I run roulettes almost everyday as a tank job. So to answer the OP's question, NO. This is all based on endgame content such as coils and ex primals.

Yes, you like them blondes, I like em brunettes... Then get a blonde gf...

If you don't like it, don't play it... I've been tanking since beta too and after trying all jobs this is by far the most challenging (war) if find pld boring but that's just me, I don't like having just one combo.

Anyway... I repeat, there are few tanks an healers because ppl is afraid of trying, and you know this game, if you fail... You get in a cloud of bullying the rest of the fight

Just want to share my experience here. I have had this game since Saturday 7/5/2014. I have a 26 Lancer, then a Thaumaturge and became fed up with impossible queues, just to complete quest advancement. I gave up on DPS classes and it's been years since I've been able to play a damage, directly caused by the above comments by Solrak. However I've got the balls to play a tank, yet again, despite wanting to enjoy a game for once, from a different perspective.
