This community has a problem where it glorifies dps through things like dps meters, and mobs dying being a good thing. But no one ever takes any time to consider the extreme sacrifice tanks or healers make where they could be dpsing but have nobly sacrificed it all so they can do dungeons. I know this community overwhelmingly supports dps but I think we should take a moment to appreciate the tanks and healers who deal with the unwashed masses that are dps players.

I agree I don’t get enough attention. I crave it. Like pickles or mustard pretzels

You shouldn’t give the tanks any more attention.
They feed on it. You’ll make them too powerful and they’ll be unstoppable.

I think most players appreciate tanks and healers. They are very respected in my main guild.

Axayactly, dps should just be glad to be allowed to be in the presence of a tank and healer. But if random dungeon finder is any indicator, they seem to think the tank / healer is there to make dungeons easy for them. Its beyond ridiculous! Dps should just be glad to be allowed to exist!
They might say “yay a demo warlock”
Fun fact we brought 3 tanks to a 5 mythic for funzies… It was interesting
What about when the dps is a gnome who will peel for you relentlessly but die trying?

I accept that too

the gnome dps should be peeling and not dying while dodging every cc and perfectly interrupting every cast every time. Anything less just means the dps is riding the tank / heals real effort.
Feel free to form your group with only tanks and healers at any time, it might be fun!
Idk. I feel like a Tank that speeds through a dungeon and is mostly self sufficient gets plenty of praise.
As does a Healer that’s contributing more DPS than expected,
Generally people performing above average will get noticed regardless of role.
No one cares about the 30th percentile DPS that could be replaced by literally anyone, just like no one really cares about the healer putting out enough heals to keep the group alive through moderately decent gameplay without contributing an ounce of DPS.
Nah. speed is not my concern. A tank that can hold aggro, and survive whatever is asked of them to tank, gets a thumbs up from me.
As a DPS or healer I loathe tanks that speed through a dungeon, pulling everything out of range and around corners, then struggle to survive the clump of things beating on them, while bitc… err… complaining about things not dying fast enough or how low thier health is getting.
is nice but not the main concern for me.
this is pretty much baseline. if they can keep us alive no matter what happens its good. if they have the ability to add to the DPS without sacrificing on necessary heals, then its bonus.
In my opinion.
Ah the fond memories of TD3 + whatever heart essence that was all tank runs in 8.3

That was so fun in the raid. I guess that’s why all the buffs count the number of people in your party and not raid now,

If it makes them like BDKs right now I’m all for it.
