One of my FC members pulled this off during a run we did together in WoD. He's trying to get DRG and BLM gear from WoD, so he went in as a DRG. I went in as a MNK as I'm trying to get MNK and NIN gear from WoD. (For the record, my DRG is getting buffed from the Poetics gear, like my Tank classes are)

During the battle against Cloud of Darkness, my FC member nearly got her aggro once just from hitting her so hard as said DRG. Used evasive jump to lose that aggro. Moments later, he got it back anyway and died for it. I followed suit, as I somehow stole her aggro from MNKing her too hard apparently. I just looked over at my FC member and typed in chat "Well, at least you know we're doing our job as DPS if we somehow managed to steal aggro."

I do wonder what the Tanks were thinking in round 1 though against her. Were they too busy doing other things or something or just simply not trying hard enough to maintain aggro? Round 2 went way better, as a Tank actually held her aggro the whole time in round 2.

As for the loldrg joke... people already stated why those jokes were flying around. Personally, even though DRG is my #1 go to melee DPS class, I still just kinda roll with it.
