Itā€™s cute that someone who could tank is complaining about the DPS who displays concern for healers.

Here is a scenario for you that happened to me recently.

Algrethar academy mythic -

Tanks pulls whole room with tree boss. Aoe kills the party, tank survives and continues to dps until they pull the boss dies and blames the healer for not keeping the party aliveā€¦

Needless to say we got rid of the tank

I picked prot pally when I first started TBC because of survivability.
I continue to play him because of survivability.
I do LFR and low M+ only for group content.

I donā€™t play my pally with your perceived reality.

I solved tanking by just running only with my healer fiance. She and I have an established cadence and can communicate usually, most of the time. Totally never let her die as a joke, or I died beacause I didnt do the dishes, nope never.

In all seriousness though, doing anything with pugs can be a toxic hell, be it a tank or healer or even dps. So we should all appreciate those willing to risk hell by queing into the pugs. Tanking and healing can be a thankless task after all, so keep that in mind.

ā€¦ maybe. KEKW

This reminds me of a parable: Do not overestimate the intellect of a meat shield.

Forever tank here, ive mostly seen the dps being at odds with the pace set by tank + healer. This has largely been my experience in classic + retail. There are runs that are ruined by individuals for sure whether they are tank, heal or dps, but most runs run afoul because the dps couldnt hold their cheerios and want to rush into the next room as soon as possible

I think thatā€™s another whole conspiracy where the DPS think their the tank.

Arenā€™t you the guy who got bodied in your last thread for giving absolutely terrible M+ advice?

Seriously no one would have a ā€œSuperiorityā€ complex. Dungeons are a team effort. But thatā€™s just my opinion, bad as it is.

I sure am. Here, Iā€™ll even throw more gasoline on the fire and say that my post was hidden by the community, but then restored by the mods.

Now we have the tank nerf! So now my message holds more water! Can you believe that?!

If the tank dies the dps and heals canā€™t progress, PPL who pro tank nerf donā€™t get this

End of story

Orrrrr if the so-called ā€œtankā€ dies because the ā€œtankā€ is pulling too much or attempting to skip around narrow dungeons, the DPS and healer have a bigger chore to worry about.

End of story.

No. i play tank to get everyone killed with the mechanics as i learn them the fast way; trip all of them and see what happens to take the most damage/survive big hits while also attempting to do completive damage and healing.

what do tanks want to do in a raid? be the last one alive with the boss at 2% and bring the kill across the finish line.
do ā€œweā€ want that to be easy? probably not. its less fun if its easy. but if it was hard yet doable, thats when it becomes worth the effort.

There was moments like that where I POG and the tank lands the finishing blow on a raid boss.

Thank goodness you have Revive. So we can all give you a pat on the back.

Itā€™s a 10% damage addition, I take exactly zero damage so Iā€™m not too worried about it. Ppl need to learn their class
