What if DNC is SHOMHOW a DPS?

People need to stop with this. This isn't the kind of game where the type of damage you deal is at all relevant. Nobody pretends that WAR and PLD are different roles just because one of them has a shield and a bunch of magic spells, so why are we suddenly trying to spin this to make it seem like DPS jobs are lacking and need even more attention than they already get?

No. There are three roles in this game - tank, healer and DPS. That is a fact. People claiming DPS need more love because they choose to break DPS down into "ooh but there's ranged physical and ranged magic, blah blah blah," are kidding themselves.

I think it's because the game does this... PLD and WAR are not "Magic Tank and Melee Tank." They are all Melee. The code of the game also breaks down the DPS jobs into Melee, Ranged, and Caster by way of not only gear, but also how the DF matches people. Also the way the limit gauge works. If you have more than one of a job your limit gauge fills slower.

Also if they suddenly did make PLD a "Magic" tank... and left the other 3 "Melee" tanks you can bet people would then be saying, "We have 3 melee tanks and 1 magic tank. We need more magic tanks to round it out." Tho if they made PLD a magic tank they might as well make DRK a magic tank... not that they ever will lol.
