Is it an unreasonable thing when tanking to call out when the OT is about to take large portion of damage? I OT grong and am in charge of taking the throws… at 394 ilvl some of those throws hurt.
My raid lead has voiced his opinion that I am squishy because if i wasnt i wouldnt feel the need to ask for externals all the time. I was always under the impression that telling my healers when i am about to get beat up on was better than letting them panic when my hp starts dipping. On a fight like grong where you can easily negate a huge chunk of damage with a second or twos notice isnt it good to call out what defensive you want or that you are going to require some healing?
The raid lead voiced no other issues aside from me calling out everytime im going to take damage in discord… to the point of wanting to remove me off of the tank roster.
Am i doing it wrong? Should i just sit silently and risk getting the heals in time? I actually had to switch off of my warrior because the healers refused to put anything other than hots on me and told me raid healing took priority to tank healing… as a warrior i was told this. I am new to the guild and they are used to running DK/DK composition. Do you think taking a non-self healing tank into a raid where the healers have worked with double DK for a long time is an issue?
I felt pretty trapped between a rock and a hard place. I dont get heals and i die. I speak in discord to ask for heals… and i am announcing to the world how squishy i am.
