ah, you’re going to call everyone having a laugh at your inability and whining as “elitist” so you can validate that “elitists” are ruining the game huh?
all melee dps should be considered “tank” when they have aggro and recieve a “tank” buff that helps them mitigate the damage they take. there shouldnt be “tank” roles anymore… ANY dps should be able to tank. just make it so groups CAN be 4 dps and 1 heals or even 5 dps and balance around self healing/potions. its disgusting that “group play” is being held back because of a “role” that no one wants to do.
They didn’t say a word to the poor tank just tried to vote kick, which thankfully it failed. I was surprised how quick they tried to vote kick, I just hope the community starts to be a bit more lenient with people.
This morning running a TW HoL on a Rogue, a class I’ve never understood or performed with all that well, the tank started trash talking me after we killed the second boss and continued until after finishing. Yet at the end of the run when I finally looked at the meters, yep bottom of the DPS chart, but I was only one interrupting and stunning. And let’s not forget the three wipes and four other deaths caused by the tank pulling way too much or not grouping up the mobs so everyone was single targeting instead of AoE and we simply got overwhelmed.
Trash exists for all roles and all classes.
Edit:
Contrast with a run on a Shadow Priest a little while later.
The Paladin tank and Mistweaver Monk left the rest of the group behind. Completely. Dispersion, Angelic Feather, and PWS were on CD for almost the entire Nexus run. I won’t even talk about how badly skewed the meters looked after that run. Despite that, at the end of the run the tank thanked everyone for being part of the group.
Only rule I have when tanking is that if you pull it, it’s your responsibility to get it to me. I don’t think it’s on me ylto chase mobs all over the planet, and I think that’s reasonable.
No the real reason for the tank shortage is about 80% of the tanks in week 1 ragequit & rerolled when they realised Mythics folded them in half like tissue paper in water & they might actually have to start " Tanking " for once.
I think you’re gonna need to explain this one for me, man. If they’re folding, how are they gonna start “tanking”? And if it’s for once, what do you call it when they’re not folding when being smashed by enemies?
This summed it up. Everyone has a role to play and should stay in their lane. In another thread I suggested making all NPCs yellow and non-attackable to anyone but the tank until they are in combat and have the aggro. Then DPS and healers can jump in and help.
