So people who say it's a non-issue clearly have never encountered this situation, or they have but it was dps and therefore acceptable.
Honestly I could probably reliably keep a tank doing small pulls alive with an even weaker weapon. Surprisingly gear may affect raw numbers but player skill it does not. I mean yeah it probably easy to say "oh his gear was low" but chances are so was his skill level.
