What is the point of playing DPS..

[Shurrikhan]

This kind of argument has never flown with me when it comes to non-DPS roles. If you're looking for adrenaline fixes through big number parses, tank and healer jobs were never--and should never be--designed for that purpose. I really don't feel sorry for DPS Tanks who made a mockery of the role and forced a STR tank mentality that SE thankfully knocked down late in Heavensward and buried outright in Stormblood.

I've always tanked to be an adrenaline junky, in any MMO.

The only sad part is that to satisfy any sort of need for excitement, tanks in XIV pretty well have to be trying to push DPS, not because "zomg it's DPS", but because it's the only other way skill is rewarded or further contribution allowed.
