Every instance u mention has a tank involved a warrior is a tank. Played at the highest level xenos the tank master has clearly shown where tanks don't need heals or dps even in a 12 s . Because of job build the ability to self heal dish out decent dps and strong defensive cool downs just make it to where all around tanks can do more in this game I don't see how this can be denied.
If DPS are so unneeded, and if you can solo anything, especially as a WAR, then I expect to see some video proof of such. You keep bringing up Xeno, but I think you fail to realize that individuals like Xeno are outliers in terms of their skill and their optimization. If you think you're hardcore like Xeno, then please, post some videos to prove that you don't need DPS. And if tanks can do more, I would absolutely love to see your WAR provide party members with TP, or your PLD provide them with MP. PLDs may have Clemency, but can your DRK heal other party members? Can any of your tanks exceed 2,000 DPS in any of the Ex primals? No? Didn't think so. So don't say that "tanks can do more in this game."

But I'll be here waiting on that video proof that you can solo anything and everything as a tank. Until then, I think you can't deny that DPS are needed in some shape or form. I know, it must be hard to hear for someone as hardcore as yourself.

Oh, and that failed A1S run with the 3 heals and 5 tanks? 3 of them were WARs. Yup. DPS totally not needed there.
