What is the point of playing DPS..

[Harz]

I really don't feel sorry for DPS Tanks who made a mockery of the role and forced a STR tank mentality

Gordias forced a STR tank mentality. No one cared about the change to split str/vit outside of it being a 45/45 split instead of 50/50, which led to a drop in tank dps, which in turn led to tanks losing aggro, and what happened? Squeenix patched enmity modifiers.

In Stormblood they've changed it back to pure strength but tanks have a static amount of strength on their right side gear so history is in effect repeating itself, tanks took a dps hit and are struggling with enmity. Squeenix can patch enmity again but unfortunately it's a compounding problem, DPS jobs' dps, and in turn enmity generation, is going to increase faster than that of the tank jobs. So down the line we'll see this problem crop up again.

You could argue that tanks should just stay in their tank stance and 123 forever but you wouldn't have any tanks left before long.
