I got saucy the other day and Ex rou solo-queued as DPS. (SMN, my well-geared/practiced main, because I had a shred of self-preservation instinct remaining.) My logic was, I believe in our savior Quelling Strikes and there's an ilvl minimum on the roulette, the pugs will be fine!
Zone in, buffs up, alright first pull! Aaaaand I pull aggro 10 seconds in. Ok... run it back to the tank, and keep doing that as I pull another thing then the first thing again and on and on. But eventually the pull was done. Check the tank's buff bar, oops, no stance! But they turned it on now, everything will be fine.
Next pull: I pull again. The healer also pulls aggro. (The healer was a SCH.)
By around pull 3 or 4 I was so flummoxed that I turned ye olde parsere on just because... what else could I do to get answers? The tank was running at the mobs! And they had gear equal to mine! What even!
Painful story short, I was 46% of the party's damage that run. The SCH was another 20%. You will note that that leaves about 34%! This was split evenly between the PLD tank and the DRG, with the PLD doing slightly more.
My only regret... besides the obvious ones... is that the healer booked it the moment Mistbeard cried uncle and I didn't comm them in time. Thank you, strange healer, wherever you are... ACN bros4lyfe.
SMN is a tank. Like, don't you pay attention to the meta?
