These DPS tanks you speak of must be Assassin or Powertech (and even then i doubt its happening). Id pay money to see a Immortal Jugg keep up with a Marauder for DPS. Not happening.

Since Rage is a DPS tree... So i repeat, bring me an immortal Jugg who is kicking out 500k DPS each WZ. Also, those silly AOEs arent actually doing anything compared to a real DPS who can focus that in on one person and drop them. Its like comparing Sorc AOE to a Marauder who sticks to a target. Silly.

Why be a pure dps?, because we can actually kill quickly unlike a tank in dps gear..., sure your damage on the scoreboard at the end of the round looks impressive but you didn't really help kill anyone quick enough to be of any real help. I'd much rather have more players killed then overall damage, dead players = players not helping the other team.

I wish more people could comprehend this. :c A guy running around spamming an AoE that hits for 1.5k on 5 targets is NOT the same thing as a guy who hits 1 target for 7.5k and kills him. But people like the OP think it's the exact same thing.

They don't, they just survive longer and thus have a better sustained damage. A pure DPS build will do more damage in the short term but are too soft to survive long once they are focused upon. This is why combat shadow are more popular in PvP. Infiltration is really fun but it folds in seconds when it comes under fire.
