What is the point of playing DPS..

[Niyuka]

Former DRK, SAM main now. If SE is not capable of creating interesting tank gameplay for fear of losing the terribad potatoes (who will NEVER tank anyway), then hurray more DPS players. My SAM plays about 5 times more interesting than any tank class, AND requires more skill to perform optimally, AND has more influence, AND has more quality of life in solo, AND looks better. So why would I ever play a tank again?

+1 to this

I tolerated tanking in Heavensward because Warrior felt so smooth and rewarding, but from what I've played thus far, everything I used to enjoy about the role has been completely gutted or nerfed into the floor. This is the least fun tanking has been since ARR launched, and that's a big reason for why you're seeing queues as bad as they are right now, along with the addition of 2 new DPS jobs.

A lot of us are just getting tired of waiting for things to change. It's clear that DPSing is more fun, more rewarding, more engaging, and DPS roles are allowed to have more impact into the quality of their content.
