Personally, I would rather watch paint dry while having my fingernails
yanked out by their roots. Which basically describes tanking.

Seriously, I like to dps.

This is how I am, too. I don't find the idea of tanking(or healing) remotely
appealing. I play games like D2, Guild Wars, and WoW(and for that matter,
nearly any other game I play), cause I want to KILL STUFF, not occupy it so
someone else can kill it.

I understand tanking is an essential role, and I do work to make sure I make
it as easy on the tank as possible(ie, I don't start RoFing the moment the
tank runs in), but it's just not a role I have any interest or desire to
play myself.
