For the past two weeks my Rotslime log has recorded as tank when I’m exclusively DPS  
[https://sod.warcraftlogs.com/character/id/78640497?mode=detailed&zone=2009#metric=dps&boss=2953](https://sod.warcraftlogs.com/character/id/78640497?mode=detailed&zone=2009#metric=dps&boss=2953)  
I believe this is a bug and would appreciate any kind of resolution to the issue.

Hello,

Tanks are marked by melee hits:

[https://sod.warcraftlogs.com/reports/TacLWN8mwxApfJRG#fight=12&type=damage-taken&translate=true&ability=1&target=69](https://sod.warcraftlogs.com/reports/TacLWN8mwxApfJRG#fight=12&type=damage-taken&translate=true&ability=1&target=69)

You took the most in the raid by the boss & also took the minimun required for you to be classified as a tank in this log.

Hope this clears things up!

Azrael.

Would this not be an incorrect method to measure tank for this fight in particular as we utilise a warlock tank and this incorrectly attributes roles?

Hello,

It’s the only way we have for tank classification, there are plenty of warlock parses that get meleed just fine. The melees don’t hit that hard so it’s okay to take some and we need some way of seeing that they were actually tanking.

I apologize for the inconvenience this caused you.

Azrael.
