They can be a plan B, but not necessarily. When those situations come up it's usually part of the design. Plan B off tank would be, in a raid that occasionally requires one, that during a fight that does not the main tank goes down and the off tank can still pick up and save the wipe.
@Wolvenworks In MMOs it's not uncommon for bosses to have mechanics forcing a tank swap, such as stacking vulnerability debuffs, or requiring the occasional adds to be picked up but can't be safely handled by the main tank. In which case you have the off tank present for that, and the rest of...
Nah, becoming a tank when your friend is one is a good idea. Finding good DPS isn't so hard, simply due to the sheer number of them, finding a good off tank though...
A healer would also be acceptable, but in this case it doesn't really seem necessary.

What do you mean useless Blake? There's not even 20 people to the group, yet all the zombies on the continent died. Clearly that was the work of Blake who killed 10000 Four Dukes, and he even had time to strike a victory pose.
Doesn't she basically only ever end up using it after someone completely pisses her off? Less a technique, more a temper tantrum that just so happens to have a name, so backfiring is completely reasonable.
WoW had a brief bug with PvP stats where you could be outright immune to higher leveled players, so stupid little balance things like that aren't entirely unrealistic. That everything just kind of seems to run on a Blue Mage-ish "Go kill stuff and see what you learn to do" rather than any sort...

Currently the release for that is set for the 23rd of April, though stuff that far out does have a tendency to get shuffled around a little.
@InedibleSpook
Still all female character deaths, which was the point. And there is no twist about the fused twins dying, there's a reason I had two links for that. The fall, and the ring confirming the kill.
