and fake damage dealers don't exist.
fake tanks and healers are people who queue as those roles specifically to get into a random dungeon faster for their daily ten transmute crystals. who do not care about group play.
new and inexperienced damage dealers aren't fake.
they can be annoying especially when they queue as tanks or healers, when they stand in aoes, or don't interrupt anything, but they really aren't fake.
damage dealer is the default role.
everyone who doesn't make a build specifically for tank or healer and queues for those roles is a damage dealer.
calling people fake or useless when they're just new and inexperienced is unnecessarily rude.
It depends on the dungeon and mode, but generally if the tank is dying too easily but the DDs are good, it's a less stressful scenario than the DDs being fake, because even if the tank keeps dying, assuming the DDs are decent and the mechanics of the fight are forgiving, they will kill the boss relatively fast (and good DDs can kite the boss and avoid heavies, while the tank is being rezzed, as well), before the group is wiped. On the other hand, if the DDs are slow and keep standing in the AoEs and dying, the fight will take ages, because there's only so much damage the tank and healer can pump out depending on their build, not to mention they will have to keep rezzing the DDs, and it will be a very drawn out fight, if it even gets completed.

Fake DPS does exist, but I agree with you that it's not low damage that makes a fake DPS. What makes a fake DPS is a healer or a tank queueing as DPS. Believe it or not, it does happen and I hate it even more than a fake support. It's happened at least twice that I've queued as a healer to see a DPS casting radiating regeneration. I quit immediately, I already feel useless as a healer in dungeons I'm not letting other people also do my job.
I am quite indecisive at the best of times but what do you do when the tank runs off ahead but the DPSs decide to stay and defeat every single monster.
Who do I follow? Tank? DPS?
Run between the two?

I mean ima be real- im a pretty hard hitting dps, in the 115k range. I ALWAYS slot a heal or some damage mitigation in pugs. Always. You never know what you will get and you dont know if they healer will have to spend the whole time focusing on an unprepared tank. I might be an anomaly probably because 9/10 i still carry group dps by a wild margine regardless.

Vet Difficulty: me and the real tank do most of the DPS.
