The Main Reason of Tank Shortages

Yeah tanks aren’t op anymore. They actually need the rest of the party now. This is the real shortage issue.

They need an option like they do for Raid pugs.

“chill run, not too fast no too slow, tips and tricks appreciated, learning”

“EYE BARE I LIEK TU TANC”

Honestly something in LFG that denotes how fast you wanna go/are able to go would be great. And no don’t bring up “follower dungeons” because 1 that goes both ways, 2 it’s not helpful, and 3 followers are just as bad as the DPS in normal dungeons so we do treat regular heroics like followers anyways.

Holy hell this sounds like an absolute nightmare.

I played wow for a very long time before I started trying to tank! It was being a leader that scared me the most. I suppose I felt a tank should always be a great player and know about the content better than others. This is an expectation that has always existed for as long as I can remember! Messing up is obvious and bad too. Lol

I imagine it would to people who like to pull who are not the tank then get pissed when they tank does not run over to them to save them. Not saying that’s you, but tanking for 17 years has taught me a LOT about DPS in PUGs, and even the occasional bored healer.

I’m tanking this expansion, and it super sounds like a nightmare. Having a SINGLE person control the entire dungeon? Tank goes afk, rest of the party is completely at their mercy? No, man. Just, no. The ego required to think that one person should have that level of control over others is not good, dude.

It’s just an opinion, not an ego. The goal is to reduce the number of disruptions and maintain the pacing based on what the tank can handle and the healer can keep up with. It will NEVER happen, so panic less :rofl: Was simply an illustration of Crowd Control on the party, and not the mobs in the dungeons.

Blizzard didn’t create it , they encouraged it with M+ timers , this made the urgency need for everyone .

Now MDI balance is effecting everyone, reduced aoe damage beyond 5 targets , why blanket punish everyone?? what did the raider Allen do ? what did the mog hunter jiimmy do ? what did the skinner farmer George did ?? if bunch of no lifer Andies playing the game 12 hours day want to mob pull everyone , let them , their real life sucks anyways let them have some fun playing the game instead.

I used to have a macro I would pop upon entering a dungeon when I healed or tanked mostly saying Hi and explaining a few very basic things to make sure the run would be smooth, nothing exhaustive, like 4 or 5 lines. Most people ignored it and the rest usually told me to shut up.
