Tank mitigation should be balanced to dungeons

Because DRK, for the quintillionth time, does. not. need it. It is not behind on sustain because it does not need it. Nor does Gunbreaker. The people that do complain about it have a genuine skill issue or are complaining simply because they have to put forth a modicum of extra effort or healers complaining that they need to *checks notes* do their job and heal.

Skill issues should be for high-end content, not dungeons. What's wrong with every job in a role having equal footing in casual content. If I want to play DRK in dungeons, I should be allowed to play what I want to without being told I'm griefing the party for playing it and told to use trusts instead. The meta shouldn't exist in mandatory content.

You would be reducing the skill floor for high-end as well. If you want it to be that homogenized every single job would need to perform the exact same strengths on every tank. There will always be a meta. It is an unavoidable truth in every single MMO or RPG you play. There is no avoiding it.

I play DRK all the freaking time in nearly every form of content and never get told I'm griefing the party, and never get healers that dip purely because I'm playing Dark Knight. This is the most casual of content so if anyone honestly is telling you that you're griefing the party they're just being an asshole and you shouldn't be taking them seriously.

Unfortunately in the attempt to keep jobs "unique", people want to keep some of the associated negatives while trying to hurt the other jobs that are doing fine. Bit of a lost cause here I'm afraid.

I do want DRK to get better though, and at least we have some people with stronger voices outside the forums who will give DRK a little boost without tearing down anyone else. It's how it is when people aren't used to games that offer nerfs like candy on Halloween and don't understand how it not only hurts but tends to not end after the first touch. Let's hope by Dawntrail that there will be some good upcoming abilities!
