Not a single person said Ravana was a raid boss. Shit, there are large windows of time in Ravana where no one is taking any damage at all. 10/11 are "utter jokes" as well, 12/13 need minor coordination and knowing when to pop a CD and where to place Bennu. So hard to grab a tether off of someone or tank something somewhere, right? People beat turn 13 the day after it was released also, if that's supposed to be a form of comparison. I honestly think you are giving the people a false impression on the level of difficulty involved in tanking in general, but whatever...

Ravana was used as an example because it is literally the highest level of content we have in game right now. Since we don't have any tougher options to gauge the performance of this job from, this is literally the top of the chart for another week. We voice our opinions because we can see glaring issues with how the job plays and how this will affect real raid environments. The fact that the fight isn't tough makes the issues being brought up even more relevant because they will be pronounced in a raid environment.

Are we supposed to wait until we get left out of the real deal to say anything?? They don't let us test anything before release so we can have these problems fixed before they enter the game. I have a group so I don't have to worry about being pushed aside because I'm a DRK, but other people who may be looking to raid progressively and have been awaiting this job as I have won't be so lucky. We need adjustments. Saying Ravana isn't a raid boss doesn't change that fact.
