    This is false for at least World of Warcraft. Everyone who has every done any random group content can attest to the fact that it is always hardest to find a good tank.

      I think tank in most MMOs is a low-desire role. It typically hinges entirely on having a healer to keep you tanking, as well as holding an immense responsibility to be aware of aggro patterns and incoming debuffs. You eat a lot of blame for not tanking well, even if it’s just because your healers mispositioned or some DPS decided to steal aggro by spamming too much of X move.

      And generally, you don’t feel as much of the “I did a thing!” feeling as, say, a rogue pumping out damage or a mage casting a slew of debuffs and DoTs.

        When I was younger, I always played a tank, and yea the blame was always high, raid goes good, it was DPS got the good job, raid goes bad, fucking tanks fault.

      I filled it all in and the button at the end didn’t work. That’s 20 minutes I’m never getting back :/

        No way, that sucks. It definitely works though. Maybe try a different browser?

          I’m gonna chalk it up as yet another problem with Firefox Mobile. I really want to like it, but it doesn’t make it easy haha

          I’ll probably try again another time on something Chromium-based

        That just sounds like a difference in luck, I think yours is better than mine

    This is gish propaganda. Nothing wrong with two barbs side by side soaking up damage together or two casters taking turns wiping the field from a tall spot.

    Everyone could use a healer, though.

    also consider polamory as you want the trifecta and maybe even an extra dps or two.

      Half of all polycules come about solely to form an adequately-sized D&D campaign.

      (Or so all the relevant polyam memes in my FB feed tell me.)

        It checks out. A friend of mine GM’s for her sister and her sister’s two boyfriends.

        I was about to say that was probably a joke but then I thought about the other 2 couples I’ve done D&D with and, yeah, no, accurate

          Oh no, it’s definitely a thing. I’ve been polyamorous for 10 years, and I can count on one hand the number of polyam people in my circles who aren’t into either D&D or board games.

    My local stadium hires a security company called DPS. I stopped one of them and said “y’all’s comp is unbalanced, try sprinkling in some mages and tanks” and he had no idea what I was talking about.

    Bystander laughed though so it wasn’t wasted time.

    IIRC, this is basically what happens, in a way. Our scent makes us more attractive to people with different sets of immonorelevant genes, so that our offspring has a wider array of defenses.

    My wife loved playing a healer in WoW, so we never had any problems finding raid groups or arena partners.

      Its an invaluable class. They never lose their car keys and they’re a ton of fun at parties.
