I just never was the DPS sort. I mean, I’ve played the class enough times, but a great amount of DPS’ers really just feel they bring one of two things to the table–either DoT hurting or burst hurting. You can color and cover it any way you want, but a Scrapper is a Ninja is a Thief is a Necromancer.
Tanking, however, feels different to me. More vital. More nuanced.

…well, as nuanced as one can be while being a giant monster dude with a huge spear.
