Physical Ranged TANK

From a "gameplay" perspective, its perfect. But from a playerbase perspective, its annoying.
Which I feel is plenty fine. Most players find boss AoEs annoying, as it ruins stacks/casts/uptime.
Having a challenge be presented, and overcame, even if its as simple as an orange circle on the ground, is within range of acceptability, as long as it functions correctly from a gameplay perspective.
granted, if you argue its ok to annoy your player, thats another argument, as some players feel games should be easier, or more catered to their interests, which isnt "wrong", but does come with its downsides by doing so.

So I'm in agreement people will be annoyed, but I'm curious to go a step further, and think of what all that entails, both good and bad.

It's a stretch to call the gameplay perfect, you haven't defined much about it's gameplay at all aside from it acting as a role swapper. I mean, if you have to resort to throwing DPS buffs on people to make it look more attractive.. It should sell itself.

Interesting. Since this is only hypothetical, and no one can be punished for it, would anyone here actually vote kick out such a job? Would anyone here leave group? Its hard to imagine it would be "that bad" to be partnered, since you hardly change up your rotation.

Absolutely. When I queue up as a DPS it's because I want a break from tanking.
