It’s that mentality that scares people off from learning how to tank. When you’re sitting in an instance complaining why there is a shortage of tanks, thank yourself.

No, when I’m sitting in Tol Dagor for my wq and breezing through the content because we are all overgeared for it, I won’t care who pulls.
There’s not a whole lot to learn. Tanking is probably the easiest role to play in the game.
Nope. Tanks pull or you die. I have ZERO issue letting someone die on my tank for pulling as a DPS same reason I have zero issue not healing someone being stupid as a DPS.
If the tanks going slow, there might be a reason.

People make it harder than it is.
I can’t agree with you on the easiest roll though. If that were the case the #s would speak for themselves.
Majority wants no responsibility and wants to button mash their way through.
I can’t think of a legitimate reason for going slow in a heroic.
Kid sitting in your lap.
Tanks should just start using the “Thanos” method of tanking.
Everyone zones in, tank sits down. and says
“Go, and bring me my mobs”
Dps stand there looking confused.
Healer: “And what will you do?”
Tank: “Wait”.

There is a reason for that, such as scaling and the like when it comes to thegear DH possess at the level along with their talents and defensives.
Most DPS, however, get wrecked
spec to tanking and be a tank. thats easy.
Yeah, the person playing the tank thinking their role is super special or something.
I mean it is. Threat isn’t even a factor until Mythic+ and even in high end raids, the most complex unique mechanic a tank deals with is a swap. DPS is popular because it’s more entertaining. Has nothing to do with “responsibility.” What exactly is the “responsibility” in a leveling dungeon that most classes can solo?

As I said, the #s speak for themselves.
Which numbers?
Click on any guild. Look at the # % of tanks, healers, and DPS.
It’s not fun when everyone is doing their own thing…for anyone.
I’m for making leveling more difficult again so that people need to depend on the tank more while leveling up. This crazy out of control dungeon stuff is not how the game was designed.
But you know, as the rest of the group is gathering mobs, the tank will have to solo three bosses.
Because only 2-3 tanks go to raids? Statistically speaking, you have a higher chance of getting into a raid as a DPS vs a Tank.
Tanking has more responsibility because an error on the tanks part = wipe.
An error on the DPS’ part = forgiving
An error on the healers part= forgiving
Yea I’m pretty over tanks acting all superior just because they are the tank. Like yea you have a cool shield now stop looking at your reflection in it and so your job.

In a leveling dungeon? The hunter in your group can solo the entire place.
