Why Avoid Parry?

[Velox]

Actually, a tank's job is 3-fold:
1. Keep hate.
2. Survive by using CDs when needed.
3. Contribute to party damage.

Some people like to forget #3 there.

Likewise, a healer's job is 3-fold:
1. Heal the party, especially the tank.
2. Contribute to party damage.
3. Don't overheal.

This is part of the reason there are less and less tanks and healers these days. SE needs to find a way to give DPS a 3-fold job to balance it out or remove DPS stances from tanks and healers and removing 1 item from each of those lists (which is honestly what I think SE needs to do).
