yeah…nothing too complex.
The wife said she had no clue how much problem she was causing healers till she tried healing.
I think many who only DPS dont have a clue how pulling for the tank and running out of healer range and standing in the green isnt helping the team effort

How did you know it was a new player? There is not a sprout like in FF14 to show that people are new…just wondering
“I see you’re new. It’s ok, I’ll show you were to go!”
“This boss just run them through the fire when you start getting hit harder than you like.”
Literally all you gotta do. They learn the dungeons with help from other players in the group.
We were all noobs once.

Back when I was raiding full time. I created a healer and tank just for that reason. To learn the class so I could be a better raid leader.

I tried to tank on my paladin from 50 to 60 and both times an overgeared DPS carried everyone. They would not let me tank.

All jokes aside didn’t they try something like this in MoP where you had to place like Silver in the proving grounds in order to get into heroics?

“We have a tank shortage”
Hmmm I wonder why

More than once in the past, I’ve pulled out a tank pet and kept the group from wiping when the tank died, but I just can’t slap those bandages on fast enough to heal a group if the healer goes down.

spot on.
Ive saved a tank from dying a few times by growling and pulling the boss off him long enough for the healer to be able to get him back up to a safe level.
Had a few of them say thanks afterward. Not all hunter players are idiots, lol. Some of us know how to manage our pets.

Well if you’re so good at WoW why didnt you tell the new player how to do the job.
People like you are the reason why over 76% of WoW players unsub before even reaching level 20…
If you are so great… then it was your fail for not helping him out. Willing to bet you and your group bullied him and he already unsubbed.

Mostly I try to keep the healer alive. I’ll misdirect the mobs off them, lay down freeze trap, whatever it takes to keep them standing. Tanks have the tools to stay alive if they use them right (but of course, if they’re just learning, they may not know how to do that).

usually what I see is healer cant keep up with heals. so tank is near dead. Just growling will get the boss off most of the time. My pet is expendable. Doesnt matter if it dies since I always swap to MM in group content.
Sometimes its over a tank pulling too much…sometimes its been new healers.
Had a healer whisper me after one run where it happened saying thanks for taking the heat off. I didnt even realize he was paying that much attention to see what I did, lol.

Not new tanks do this as well 
But not new tanks also try to skip past mobs
There is a balance you know, where you kill only what needs to be killed to create a nice safe path to the boss.

This is exactly what the other side of
sounds like.
I’ve never had these problems timewalking, despite being the same pool of people that are leveling. I’m not saying people should be banned from tanking, but the warning they stuck on dracthyr belongs with the tank specs.

Healers see more than most. At least, when I’m on my healer it seems that way. We have to pay attention to the whole group, and not just tunnel on the mob(s). But it does happen that the tank will overpull, or DPS stand in the fire. My main healer is a Druid, and most of her heals are HoTs. That makes it really hard to save someone at the last second. (But, she does have that battle rez. ) I always notice when a player makes her job easier/harder.

I like the old PG despite some (not all) of the outrage, from those really bad at the game.
I can even pass it as a keyboard turning and mouse clicking player.

0/10 oooooo ok that is it
Okay OP, you said that new players should be BANNED from tanking.
Now how about you tell us how you think they’d practice tanking without being able to tank?
