    Tanks are not dps. Tanks should differentiate themselves from the others based on taking damage not dealing it.

    Paladin is a shield. Big self buffs and healing magic. Cool. Warriors are rampaging berserkers that only use their defense when needed (timing cooldowns/stance dancing). Sweet. Dark Knight slowly drains the life of his enemy, making it his own. Unique spells and mp mechanics. Rad.

    Now you have three tanks with varied play styles to make them unique. Dps should not be involved in determining which tank to bring. Utility and flavor should be. I'm not saying that tanks shouldn't do damage; the numbers just need to be closer. If bard did 200-300 more dps than machinist there would be a problem. Why is it ok for tanks?
