Just hit 80, wanted to run some normals, but every dungeon the tank is aggroing one mob and zooming to the boss with no aggro on any trash, while the group dies behind them. This is anecdotal I know, but 4/4 dungeons were like this. It’s miserable.
WTF.
It’s because of the crappy scaling with lower 70 folks doing stupid amounts of DPS and basically soloing the dungeon. Extremely annoying yes. Doesnt help that remix and pre-patch events made leveling stupid so lots of bad habits from new players. Hopefully the scaling gets fixed
It gets better when you queue 80-only dungeons. If you go to the queue finder and select “specific dungeons”, you’ll be able to queue for the ones that are only level 80.
I have had a few tanks that like to zoom zoom, but not enough to make us wipe.
Spoiler alert! (It won’t).
Then don’t do anything until tanks get the hold of agro on all mobs. Learn the basics before complaining, deal ?
Tanks don’t grab all the mobs every time is the problem. Had a few groups where they just pulled everything by running thru em, if they have a heal active on them it draws agro off.
Then of course you get the tanks that don’t know crap and try it at 80 and eat poop and whine that the rest of group sucks.
Enjoy waiting in queue and lfg for tanks then? People hating on tanks in general is not going to make more people want to tank.
You mean this is hyperbolic I know.
Regardless, if the tank is gathering and the group decides to dps and pull aggro then it’s not the tanks fault.
Being in a dungeon with a tank that pulls like this is like driving down a highway with that one car that’s speeding through all the others.
However the answer to your problem is simple. If the tank is pulling that large and you can see that, don’t hit anything until the tank stops. Is it a DPS loss? Sure, but who cares these are Normal and Heroic dungeons that are meant for leveling, more casual players, and people trying to gear alts.
It’s not fun for everyone, but the answer is to adjust to the style of the tank. If everyone is on top of the tank and maybe even hides behind line of sight of caster mobs, then all the mobs will run to you and the tank will eventually pull threat with their AoE.
Honestly, at this rate, I’d rather just do Follower dungeons.
and if you’re next to the tank (which is where you should be while they’re gathering) then they pull it right back 
This is based on the presumption they ever stop or the mobs allow them to.
Killer tip for healers - stand next to the tank. Even if he isn’t trying, he’ll hit the mobs that are aggroing you.
Tanks not building residual threat whatsoever while gathering are the ones who need to learn the basics tbh.
Two problems with that:
1.) The area around the tank is a killbox given the amount of random damage splashing out from mobs, especially given the amount of visual effects even with all settings turned down.
2.) You’re presuming the tank is actually doing their job and being the shield of the party instead of going “NYOOOM” like some ADHD mouth-breather.
You know what fixes both? Responsible pulling.
If a tank is actually capable of going that ham and holding everything, then I’m all for it. Sure. Maybe a little frustrating to play “keep up”, but is what it is.
It’s when someone queues for a tank role when they’re better off uninstalling that pisses people off.
No, DPS are just horrible and inpatient. Not even a second into a dungeon and DPS are already running off and pulling mobs, and then dying. PUG DPS are just annoying and part of the reason I hate doing random ques.
I don’t have a problem with tanking, I’ve been blood tanking since BFA. The problem is when DPS are so inpatient that they run off without me and start pulling things, when I’m just barely out of the load screen, and then yelling at me for not picking up the aggro.
I can easily taunt mobs off you I can easily pull the entire group off you. I won’t, you wanted to be a tank and pull them so I’ma let you be a tank and take the hits. Just don’t cry to me after you die because you didn’t know the multi groups you just pulled have mobs that stop you’re heals. Once you die then i’ll pick up the group and save everyone else while you lay there dead and QQ
i do the same method, or find a way to kill them, they deserve it
This may be news to you, but most DPS don’t die to targeted aggro damage.
They die to the massive amount of aoe going off from the 6-7+ casts that can’t all be interrupted because the tank is pulling all the way to the boss.
In the Stonevault particularly, some of the mobs even silence, so the healer will be constantly chain silenced and the dps and heals just die.
Then the tank starts berating the group and wanting to either vote kick the healers or the DPS.
And this happens because this game has nonexistent GM’s that don’t investigate and punish bad actors.
People get more brazen in antisocial behavior as the expansion goes off.
Time to learn to use defensive cds, los, and ask healers to heal ?
How’s about getting gud first before blaming on others for your own bad ?
I don’t speak derp, go waste someone else’s time with this bait.
