And then the tank will leave and you will be as slow as molasses to find another group.

Or any other kind of content with your reasons for pulling for the tank. Go pull for the tank in a Nyla raid. See how well that turns out for you.

I have no problem leaving groups that get on my nerves LOL. A new group as a tank is plentiful.

Maybe because they are always trying to play the tank. Oh wait that is just you.

100% this can be the reason

The group’s suffering make my job, as a healer, much better.

I have no idea how you even came to that conclusion. Sounds like a bad troll response to someone frustrated about the common problem of DPS who feel like they need to pull things and then cause a wipe only to turn around and blame the tank and healer.

This honestly lol but nah when I played my hunter as Beastmaster I always carry 1 tank pet and 1 DPS pet, primarily because I ran with a friend who is new to tanking and was trying Brewmaster, and if he couldn’t be kept alive and died I would send my pets in to keep the aggro off of the heals/dps and sorta mitigate a wipe if I could and it has worked so far lol only a level 55 hunter atm

Then you haven’t done even the most basic of content. Often, DPS/healers pull for the tank when the tank is setting the pace far too slowly for the group. Considering I main healers and have done more content than you and the OP as a tank, tanks need to learn how to actually pull/pace properly in dungeons, especially insanely easy ones.

Not sure how you came up with that conclusion either.

Are you just saying things to try getting people going? If so, 0/10

And no, that’s not “often.” As a tank, nobody pulls for me unless they want to tank it. I pull and if the group is capable of handling more, I’ll pull even more.

People that claim that the tank isn’t pulling fast enough are probably the same people posting anti-5g ads on their social media. 2Headers to the max. DPS need to up their ADHD medication, that’s it.

It’s quite possible that they were used to even higher content or felt that they far out-geared the content to where they could steamroll it.

Ad hominem never wins a debate.

While it sounds bad to say, it’s true. Tanks have the luxury of being picky.

I’ve done significantly more content than you have and you’re wrong.

There’s a ‘shortage’ of tanks because long time dps players are nervous about the responsibility and the dedicated tanks have zero reason to run easy content at this point.

And that’s not even getting into how azerite and artifacts discourage switching further.

DEAR BLIZZARD - Stop making tab targeting go across the room instead of to the mobs in your party’s face. Thanks, DPS

Not sure how I came to that conclusion?

1.) Your gross over-exaggeration of how often it happens.

2.) The fact that you fail to acknowledge your role in people pulling for you

Hint: It’s because you pull slowly and set the pace of the dungeon to be far too slowly for the group.

3.) How much of a primadonna you are when you can easily be replaced as a tank.

If you say so. That’s why you post on a Classic character whose achievements aren’t tied to anything on Retail. :smirk:
