Make faketank look like a real tank.

FatFred · September 2019

"Fake tank" has long been a controversial topic , I usually queue as tank for normals while I was on DPS settings to cut the queue, after reading a lots of replys in the forum, I realised that my behaviours are not acceptable , so found a middle ground , not changing my DPS -oriented foods, CPs and attributes ,just simply 1-button-switch to tank gears&abilities .
Don't want to be a tank, just make myself look like one, act like one, pretending to be one.

Last night I queued my tank as a fake dps in a random normal, got all under 50s. I averaged 10k dps and the run was excruciating slow. Noone in the group complained because I was fulfilling my role and still managed 80% of group dps. However I felt morally guilty for putting my group through that 30 minutes normal dungeon run all at the expense because I wanted to fake a role.

Normal dungeons were designed around around 5-10k dps. New players leveling up with no sets or cp or even an idea what a rotation is won’t hit any sort of numbers that will steam roll a dungeon. I remember leveling my first character, and doing the dungeons at 100k group dps isn’t how you should ever expect a dungeon designed for lowbies to enjoy. That sort of mindset ruins the experience for everybody else.
