Dont harass fir dance partner

[Hedgeworth]

Pro tip for melee dps don't harass your dancer for dancer partner. I normally give DP to the best melee dps but if you are rude or mean to me I'm more than happy to give it to the other melee. I don't care how much you ask for it if you harass and pick apart my gameplay you are not getting dance partner. I don't care if you are doing better than the other melee I am not an extension of your DPS output. There is absolutely enough wriggle room in all the fights that I don't need to give it to you and feed your ego.

I can sympathise with not wanting to give it to someone who's mean to you

But you're absolutely an extension of their DPS lol, that's your job

Holding dance partner ability is in itself an ego. Give it to the best dps and go about your day.

In their defense, normal contents are so easy it doesn't really matter who get the dnc partner buff. If someone was being an a-hole, I say it's fair to not give them the buff. We have more than 1 dps anyway

Special props to that one DNC I had in party recently that gave DP to the tank, as I gave them mine. Asked them if they knew that 2 DNCs can partner each other, they replied "yes I know thank you, I main DNC".

Was this a dungeon? Sometimes it can actually be better to dance partner a tank over a brd/dnc if theirs a pretty big gear difference, obviously if your both on the same item level and skill in that situation dnc should get the dance partner. also considering AOE damage on tanks can be really good burst damage.

Theirs actual instances of dnc partner being decent on tank especially when you take into account peoples skill levels/gearing, though I can imagine it was likely a friend just wanting to buff their tank friend which it's a dungeon I wouldn't really be too fussed over it considering physical ranged isn't that far off tank it wouldn't take that much longer.

Underkeep expert roulette yes. And I'm fully penta'd. More than what the other DNC could claim to be.
You need a pretty hefty gear difference between a tank and a dnc/brd to bring a tank to just their level of personal dps vs single targets (bosses).
Even worse when it comes to mobs and AoE for the simple reason that dnc and brd are perfectly capable of competing on personal damage with most other dps jobs in those situations (on top of their buffs). Support jobs don't even come close.
Too specific of a case to really bother with randoms.

Skill level I can only judge once I see the player actually going through the instance.

I do not mind people giving it to their friends in dungeons really. It's just... a big eye roll and the post was more tongue in cheek than anything.

I doubt anyone cares about dance partner in casual content. If you try to do this in raid content you'd most likely be removed. In the end the well ain't deep enough to start a hostage situation
