We need to do something about Tanks and Outgoing Damage from Bosses

[Asako]

“Yoshi p hasn’t punished people with wipes since HW”

No now you just get punished with tank soloing which everyone except tanks agree is worse. What a fantastic trade

And the situations are not always in your control. Quite often I’m a DPS on the new raids and the stack marker is coming up with only 4-5 people alive, tempra coat is strong but not that strong. What am I supposed to do in that situation. Because yesterday I had 2 tanks solo M6 for 10 minutes till they eventually died to a stack marker because the rest of the party died to an earlier stack marker because there wasn’t enough people alive. What did I do “wrong” in that situation? What was I supposed to do?

How is the Tanks not dying a punishment for you? You died and you are making it out that it's their fault.

There wasn't enough people for the stack and you stacked anyway and you died. If the stack marker was on you why did you stack with the other people knowing you were going to kill them? Your healers should have known there wasn't enough people for the stack and not stacked so they could do their job. How is any of this the Tanks fault? You chose to play Pictomancer and traded your Rez for damage, that is part of the risk reward when you make your job choice. You choose a selfish DPS job yet expect special treatment when the drawbacks of said choice come back to bite you. You are free to play what you like but understand certain jobs have drawbacks. You made that choice, not the Tanks you play with. Absolutely ridiculous to blame another player just because they are playing their job correctly and wont die for you. If you want to play caster try Summoner or Red Mage, they can rez people and you will never have to suffer this rare occasion again.

Honey the last time stacked stack markers didn’t track alive people was SB

If you don’t stack with a stacked stack marker when everyone else dies it just sends it to you

Honey? Really? That's how far we've got, have to get a sly dig in somewhere. Nice of you to assume that I am female for some reason. Really helps your cause making you look like an absolute clown.
Also stack markers are solo hits. You're thinking of multi hit stacks which function quite differentely, they aren't the same. Where is this secret fight then that only has one of these every 10 minutes? Tanks cant really survive those multi hit stacks either even with their cooldowns unless they have their invun, and that's on a 5-7 minute cooldown. So either there is a fight out there that only has one of them every 5 minutes or someone is telling me porkies. Warrior could maybe do it with well timed Bloodwhetting and a mix of cooldowns but your average Tank isn't pulling that off. Let's stop pretending that every Tank player is a superstar.

So what would you like then? You wanna make Tanks weaker again so no one plays them again like ARR / HW days when there was a Tank shortage? You want Tanks to die for no reason because the majority of healers in 14 aren't very good at their jobs? I mean, we're having this converstation right now because healers with all their endless tools cant do simple healing or mitigation. It's the sad reality of healers.

Better yet, lets make it so no one feels left out and just make it so when a single player dies the entire party wipes. It's not fair right that they have to sit on the floor and watch whilst they wait for a player to raise them. That's not right at all in your books it seems.

Gee, I wonder what job doesn't have drawbacks? That's right: Tanks. Maybe you should reconsider what you're saying because making the choice to play a DPS is because it's fun - and generally, choosing to play tank can be fun too. The only issue is when you're sitting on the floor unable to press anything. If anything, you might as well be watching a Twitch Stream of the game you're playing because you aren't playing at all when you're dead - but the tanks are playing the game.

You just aren't because you're dead on the floor with the rest of your team.
