How to stop tanks from ruining your experience

Just play tank yourself.
We have had a tank shortage forever and now people are playing tank and having fun playing how they want to play and you’re immediately telling them they aren’t allowed to do that? Why aren’t you playing tank? Is it because sitting there afk at one tiny mob with no threat of dying while doing underwhelming amounts of damage isn’t fun? The only way to have fun as tank is to push your defensive capabilities to it’s limit while pressing all of your massive aoe buttons.

As a healer main, I can say this is 50/50. A good tank who knows what they’re doing, knows their cooldowns, and knows what all the mobs do, yes, have at it. However, if you’re unsure of what you’re doing, and what the mobs do, then maybe one pack at a time instead of three. If the group is dying or you’re giving the healer a heart attack, probably best to hold back a little.

I love a tank that knows what they’re doing and can chain pull effectively. That’s not easy. So practice, learn your skills, build up knowledge of the dungeons, then start pushing. The tank that pull +20 and higher Mythic keys know this.
