As a tank, why am I expected to heal?

Although entertaining, I am not sure what your post has to do with the OP? 0.o

This isn't funny guys, I'm trying to point out a serious flaw about the current endgame and the way people treat tanks yet all you can do is mock me? Wow, I give up on this community. Let's all pretend for a second that WAR's getting kicked for having bad DoT's isn't an issue. GG.

Oh, I didn't read most of the thread, just a few posts and the OP heh - and I now realize that I responded directly to a post responding directly to that. I'm not sure how I missed that line :O

Damn scrub warriors and their horrible DoT management!

What grand message? No one expects a tank to heal, and no one gets mad at a DRK for not having clemency.

I'm not referring to the literal taking of his satire, but what the satire was made for. Of course nobody expects tanks to heal, but it's one of the biggest arguments that healers who refuse to DPS use- "Muh healz". They also say that BLM and SMN should be spamming Cure as the counter argument to people saying that they are tools in their kits and therefore should be used. The flaw in the argument is that DPS heals are ineffective while healer DPS is quite potent, hence the ineffectuality of OP's description of tank heals.

I thought the satire was poking in the other direction. That is to say that Healers shouldn't DPS, just like tanks shouldn't heal. Though, I guess I may have totally missed the mark on this satire, it was rather poorly done - almost like that Penn and Teller TV show - ugh that show sucks.

Maybe you're right and I am wrong, we both think the satire is wonky so maybe we just took a different point of view xD

No matter what he meant, it's a really, really stupid argument, and I feel like a few brain cells of mine died just by viewing the original post.

Lets let it die.
