    implying i use titan egi? oh lawld, please. stahp, imma die of laughter from your own hilarious idiocy. Just because a profile shows up with one thing, doesn't mean one can't rock another.
    Anyways, i'm not really posting as random as the one who is getting so butt hurt because 'whaaaaaa, people don't play how i want them to mommie, make those tanks that i think are inferior, do as i say'

    See where I am going with this? Yer bitching over not having yer way, this is an MMO, get the hell used to people using different approaches to content. Be it wearing vit for a bit then gradually getting the hang and understanding of what they (the player) can do so they can swap piece by piece, or by going full str after knowing well enough what their abilities are, but to flat out make a post and whine at those whom use vit for reasons of their own that you can't seem to understand, accept for showing your own lack of ability and want someone else to cover it up, no.. just no, that's foolish, selfish, juvenile, and down right something only a casual will try and say. So how about coming to the understanding that not everyone is the same in the skill department, and that some need time to tackle content in different aspects? Time which you seem could be better spent on others, by telling them how you want them to play, but not yourself.
    I met a pet tank as in a friend. I didn't even read your class actually.

    I don't see you calling people names then defending a stat that creates laziness and does nothing but makes fights longer. All "hard" content in the game is a DPS Check, if you don't clear that check, you wipe.

    Sure, I can DPS too. However I will never be up to-par DPS with a proper Tank.

    On trash pulls you should be pretty close even if they're in STR gear.

    If i'm not doing anything but DPSing maybe. Tank is probably dead if they do more then a few mobs. It actually isn't hard to DPS in regular instances below 60. However once you get to 60 its room pulls only. On bosses I can actually DPS some times fine.

    However, its still nowhere near tank levels of damage. It shouldn't be.

    Once your gear is caught up and with proper cooldown management/pet usage, you should be able to approach 80-90% of your tank's DPS if they're in full STR gear (and usually surpass them if not) on any pull where you get significant DPS time. It's all about creating opportunities to DPS, and once you get used to that, you can easily do comparable damage to a similarly-geared tank's damage.

    Actually, it's probably better for the Healer to DPS than it is the tank. As tanks will put out DPS no matter what ( even in vit). A good healer will DPS and it will have a instant effect on the run as you go from 0 dps to some dps. and all healer's can do it...even past 60. SCH's can stone skin and aloqium with fairy heals and WHM can spam holy which has an AoE stun to it.

    But not all healer's should do it. ;x you gotta git gud first. Other wise the tanks, even the one's in vit, end up dead. ;( and being dead makes the run even slower.
