Happening too often in my groups where the dps are pulling. And its not like im pulling slow, but its jsut never good enough for people it seems. And I’m noticing it more and more lately

As a long time tank, they stopped caring YEARS ago. They are just in a rush. Getting them to slow or stop is not an option, which is why I only queue with friends and guildmates.

thats pretty common in lower difficulty content. if they are pulling then you maybe going slower to other tanks they are used to.

This is why some tanks pull the entire instance now. They are trying to stop anyone from pulling for them.
I did a low key last night and this Druid pulled everything in DFC from the entrance to the boss basically, we flailed, had 10 deaths then he was just like, “its cool, its cool, we’re fine, we’re fine!”.
People’s definition of fine in this game is everyone dying left and right while pulling the boss with the healer at 20% mana. I still healed through all of it though because I’m good and I was on my Pally so I could just bubble the nonsense.
You queue up for a +2 in this game and expect to have a chill time because you are over geared for it, then the next thing you know you have a psychotic tank and yeah, the rest is history. I’m just fatigued of it, tanks are the only role who act like this, who play so sloppy that it affects the entire party/raid. Need to have some of these clowns banned, but it isn’t possible without a spectator system.
This is the reason right here. I tank and dps. I can Definitely tell you this is the main reason! Sorry to burst OPs bubble but it means youre pulling slow if you have dps pulling as well. Not an insult or anything. Just means that that dps is use to fast pace and when you disrupt that pace that person gets bored. Ive done it plenty of times as a dps and yes it irritates the tank but it also shows/tells the tank you can pull more/faster.
If anyone should pull for the tank it’s the healer. That is the signal it’s okay to pull more. DPS pulling more could just be spastics tunneling. Healer has to actively waddle up and waste resources to pull, which is more of a whip for the tank, plus you don’t pull as much threat.
DPS be pulling extra with Chaos Bolt.

Blizzard forgot to make leveling-content fun, so everyone doing dungeons to level is in a massive rush because of how quickly it gets you to max level. Naturally, this results in impatience.

They’re actually worse when you’re doing a good job. When an experienced tank is doing their job, the DPS get way more confident and pull ahead of them more often.

the later it gets, the more geared everyone is…the more they can solo the place.
Unless its causing wipes, Id just roll with it.
Blizzard DEMANDS we do the 1 tank, 1 healer and 3 DPS garbage…then literally make it pointless to have one tank, one healer and 3 DPS, lmao.
This game is a joke as far as that sort of thing is concerned.
I love it when melee dps run ahead and pull everything while the casters and healer and stuck fighting the enemies at the back.
I just don’t bother attacking things they pull now
If it makes its way to me I’ll aoe or, but if they wanna run and pull they can have fun idc

Yes you are. That is the only reason people will ever pull for you. Their CDs are still running and you aren’t pulling in cadence with that.
Alternatively, you could just let them die, but that’d make you a crap tank. A good tank will take the hint and pull to their group’s preference, assuming they can handle it.

Thats not for you as the dps to decide. Maybe the tank cant handle larger pulls? Maybe their focused on the healers mana? Maybe their trying to learn the pathing and shortcuts?
There could be any number of reasons their pulling a little slower. Giving the tank a second to pull isnt going to kill you.
Its hilarious the lengths dps will go to justify toxic behavior xD.

It depends what we are talking about here. If you’re talking about leveling dungeons and timewalking people are going to pull stuff if your not chain pulling to bosses, it’s trivial content. If your talking about mythic plus, there are expected pulls that you as a tank should know. If you don’t pull them someone will.
I hear you on multiple variations. A new tank or healer i go slow with but a tank or healer thats already GS 670+ no!
You can always tell a new tank, dps and healer!
Timewalking dungeons idc, its TW!
Regular dungeons same
Heroic, i go the tanks pace
Mythic, i follow the tank and expect him to know the routes. If that player is new to tanking and doing high keys sorry, go learn that in lower keys! Same with the healer!
Thats not toxicity, thats called learning the mechanics! I learned them and progressed through eqch key and expect those players to do the same! Im not here to carry you! If you want a carry, pay me!
These tanks arent pulling slow, usually anyway theres always exceptions.
Unless he’s dying trying to recover threat, he’s fine. A group won’t continue to pull if they see the tank is frequently dying. That’d be trolling at that point. Furthermore, you will not get better as a tank if you continue to do baby pulls. Pull big and see what you can and cannot handle is part of learning to tank.
If the healer is oom that often, that’s a healer problem, point blank. Healer shouldn’t be oom so often that the rest of the party is feeling held back. Additionally, in content where DPS can comfortable pull mobs without dying, the healer hardly has anything to heal anyways lol.
In this case, why would the tank be upset by others pulling? If you are learning pathing, you wouldn’t mind being shown what to pull and where to go. No hard feelings in this context.
It’s not toxic behavior. Stop coddling tanks. One of the most important things a tank needs to learn, and the hardest learning curve of tanking, is pull cadence. You have to continue to pull to your group’s ability. The longer you take in between pulls, the longer you’re wasting your DPS’s CDs. That is absolutely something to keep in mind as a tank, especially in harder content where they can’t pull for you. If you’re sitting on your hands while the other four are ready to go, you’re holding your group back and need to get better.

Because its content where you don’t need a tank. I know that sucks as a tank, but when its leveling dungeons or just banging out Timewalking, they just want to get it done. Don’t take it personal and try to work up to higher difficulties where that’s not a thing.
