You left out the first sentence of the original post, which mentions timewalking specifically.

Learn to read, man. Seriously.

yeah…had a Death Knight last year come in in DPS spec. Couldnt hold aggro worth squat so the DPS players were pulling it off him and the healer is burning thru mana way too fast.
Told the guy 4 or 5 times to swap to tank, he plays off as if he no comprehende…literally speaking in some other language.
one of the few times I initiated a kick myself

I know how to read the INTENT of that second line, friend…and I assume it describes you…which is precisely why I posted it.

By the by…take your own advice…

AND time walking…

Speaking as a tank, I can tank several packs at once in heroic dungeons, (maybe even half the instance) I will sprint and gather up 2 or 3 packs, then bunch them up and let the DPS AoE them down. If you’re way behind while I’m gathering everything up that is on you, keep up.

idk achievements? transmog? a specific legendary they still haven’t gotten?
there are a lot of reasons on why someone would go to any dungeon really, no matter their gear level.

Timewalking? Who in the world is soloing in those? ROFL I’ve never seen a tank be close to being able to steamroll through them without almost dying. Or actually dying.

I would feel too bad if I was straining anybody else or made others feel like they were unappreciated even if I was carrying them. But I’ve never really been able to lead groups well as a tank myself either. I think it does take a special person to do that and I am glad for those who can.

Then they aren’t using legendaries from previous expansions as timewalking allows. Or triple-socketed gear in every slot.

You can do all sorts of fun things in timewalking, there’s 16 years of gear at your disposal, and the ilvl doesn’t matter on any of it since it all scales.

Just the Indomitable Primal Diamond legendary meta gem from Mists gives you 20% damage reduction right there, and on a pretty high proc rate.

The tanks aren’t the ones complaining here though.

That is interesting but yeah I have not yet come upon it myself. I wouldn’t complain about it but I won’t lie, I get a little annoyed when I hear “if you don’t like how I do things then leave” in dungeon or even here because it is group content anyways. But that’s me. If somebody is crushing it I usually just follow along. If there is an issue with the group then I find it more appropriate to try to get along than fight it. We don’t exactly get to choose who we enter a random dungeon with and dps wait times are a lot longer. It’s just something I can understand from that point of view.

On that point, I also understand that tanks put up with A LOT too. Lol

just wow…dont even know how to respond without a vacation on this one.

If i can clear the dungeon by myself, why would i pretend like i need the rest of the party?

See this is the problem with baddies, if you’re AFK they get mad, if you actually try they get mad as well.

doesn’t read any of the topic

Satchels and transmogs. I even have a macro I use to inform the party of my intentions and that I’m not waiting around. Often I’ll even respec as fury to speed it up.

With the irony being that SAME TANK 2 months before was crying and tossing fits if the healer failed to keep him on life support.
Im sorry…i bash bad DPS players way too much in here…I might need to redirect it all towards bad tanks instead. lol

They only care that its group content when they NEED a healer to keep them alive.
Once theyre overgeared it doesnt matter that its group content anymore.
Frankly I enjoy vote kicking them when i do see the behavior.

like ive said a time or two…DONT give me the Muh MMO’z crap in here ever again.
Youve just admitted that this AINT an MMO for you.

That’s another interesting thought. If people don’t care they are in a group because they outgear it, did they appreciate it when they needed it? Majority of the time I feel like tanks are really grateful or have even offered good feedback after dungeon running.

Trying to keep the OPs POINT in perspective.

And hes clearly talking NORMAL instances AND TW…

Nah im fine with the current MMO design where a tank or dps can singlehandedly solo the dungeon.

You’re the one that have issue here.

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
dude…I heal…and I know what happens when I DONT heal tanks EARLY in the expansion…they die.
You guys make me laugh…you really do have short memories. Just a while back the healer had you ALL on life support and we ALL know it lmao.

Funny part?
I predicted this cycle end of BFA, lmao…where you all would behave this way just as soon as you were overgeared again in this expansion…and here we are.

As i said…if I see the behavior, I vote to kick. ive done it before and I’ll do it again. lol
