Should tanks have to dps?

We accepted that healers need to focus on healing and not dps. However, wouldn’t that same logic apple to tanks? I SHOULD just need to hold threat and stay alive if we’re following the healer logic. So why should i dps as a tank? Maybe if you are the dps you should just do more damage?

if we were going on the “dps just dps. healers just heal. tank just tank.” then there would be no interrupts, no cc, anything. why would a dps have to interrupt? it doesn’t do any extra dps. why would a tank interrupt? it doesn’t help them hold aggro.

Who’s we? i actively dps on my healers.

Because you have to hold threat.

All roles should be helping with dps, dispels, interrupts, heals, etc as necessary. It is a team effort.

This is the dumbest thread topic I’ve seen in a while. You hold threat by DPSing.

Barely, a negligible amount.

All the dps moves need to be removed and changed into taunts. You just have to keep taunting over and over again. No dps allowed.

Try doing high keys or raiding without dpsing and see how long you hold threat

Yes. Tanks have to dps to maintain threat.

I feel like this is a trap thread
