Sounds like some leveling dungeon woes

HUH? This is the retail forums, not classic.

Tank threat is a non-issue and has been for a very long time in retail.

The only way a tank loses threat is if they pull a pack of mobs then go make a sandwich, eat the sandwich and walk over to their nearest public water fountain, have a nice refreshing sip, then enjoy a nice walk in the park and then come back to the computer when they lost threat about 2 seconds ago

23

Yup 100% of the time if the DPS pulled threat, they were using ST on the wrong target.

And yes I agree. If you buff tank damage this will help :slight_smile:

Which is shining thru today.
Decided to run a bunch of dungeons.
About 1/3 have ‘that tank’ who pulls everything, even crap we dont need to kill, running thru like hes on fire…and half of it isnt chasing him lmao.
Seen more deaths today than the last 3 months

25

nope, and that’s some crap fiction.

do better.

26

lol…you need to tell the jokers in the TW dungeons Ive been in today. Evidently they didnt get the memo.

27

100% I’m making a character named Robert if that becomes a thing. (It’s a stag, same difference)

28

or you failed to hit one of the mobs in a group which was then hit by dps who got aggro and died.

again… please continue to pull big IF YOU CAN RELIABLY HOLD ALL OF IT!!!

if you’re finding yourself constantly having to chase down mobs that are hitting dps or healers instead of grouped up with you, you are the one who has effed up.

I also run through TW like I’m on fire as a tank. I let people who pull aggro die and I’m not sorry. You can start healing/dpsing when I stop moving. Thanks.

oh no…Anyways my TW is done in 7-10 minutes. Take care.

33

oh, yes.

a single death in TW dungeon is 100% your fault.

34

Some of you may die…But that’s a risk I’m willing to take.

Or is a sacrifice I’m willing to make? /shrug

Okay so we’ve established that

  1. I’m a bad tank
  2. No, I’m not slowing down just because you won’t wait for me to get done pulling.
  3. If you don’t wait for me to get done pulling, you’ll die and I don’t feel bad about it.
  4. You’re not going to change and neither am I, yet you’re the one who will be left with the repair bill if you don’t change.

The ball is in your court.

When tanking on my Warrior I try to thunderclap as many mobs as I can as I’m running and rounding them up.

If you pulled aggro, you did more than a single chaos bolt and can consider your error while running back.

Wait until the tank stops and has established aggro before you go ham.
