Do you play your favored role?

[Asmodaeus]

In preparation for Heavensward I reactivated my old account, finished the MSQ a few days ago and startet leveling a few classes for cross class stuff. I really like some of the DPS classes, especially Monk, but after tanking myself a bit I really cant stand most other tanks anymore. I feel so helpless from the DPS/Healer perspective, it makes me really nervous when I see all the screw ups they do. As a tank myself (I usually play a Tank in MMO games, but the ones here never appealed to me) I can at least make the run itself much smoother. Sure, it takes longer with bad dps players and with a weak healer I have to pull less or rotate my cool downs better, but I can actively do something about the situation. As DPS I just try to do the optimal rotation and hope we somehow make it through (ok, maybe BLM Sleep .. ). Even as Healer I can at least correct a few mistakes, but you are also very limited when it comes to aoe dances and multiple screw ups or tanks that dont know anything about target marking / focus dmg / monster positioning

After the last few days I am quite sure I will end up tanking with the DRK (but only if I like the playstyle), although I would love to play a Monk, but I just cant stand most other people in the Tank role (I know there a some good tanks, but I dont like lottery, especially not with those Duty finder wait times for DPS ).


Do you see yourself in the same position?
