DPS obsession in farm groups

[Neophyte]

While it's true that mechanics are more important than high dps, there's a certain point where you look at a solo tank group that can't skip soar and go "mmm...someone's getting carried."

If you don't skip soar you don't go solo tank, simple as that.
If you don't skip soar (i'd call it Soar+, because single tank soar is more dangerous) all advantages of solo tank are vanished.. the only point of solo tanking is soar skip.
