To All Those DPS

If you are going to play a class that has the option to tank, yet you choose to DPS, that is great.

However, don’t then try to control the dungeon route or tell the tank how to play. Never pull for the tank either… Especially when the tank is already going so fast the healer hasn’t drank a single time… I get it, you are 13 with ADHD and that is also why you play DPS DH, but stop. specified DH dps because multiple people don’t understand the title implied I was referring to dps specifically. I guess it wasn’t clear

Legit, discontinue pretending your 7+ key is the MDI world championship final. Risky strats are not meant to be practiced with unwilling participants. That is for teams that play together, with comms, and all party members agree.

In addition, I have no issue whatsoever in leaving your key if you do any of these things, because guess what? I will get another group in about 10 seconds; any time, any day.

I’m gonna be honest, here. I won’t pull for the tank unless I know I can kill stuff, and I usually ask first out of being polite.

Why is it always tanks who spam this topic? As someone who heals a lot i don’t care if dps pulls and have aggro as long as i keep my mana up and they make sure to keep the aggro off of me. At least for end game content, it is a bit annoying in leveling though.

Yeah. Tank, not DPS.

So why did you go out of your way to open a website and post about it? Is there a result you desired from creating this thread? Would it have changed something? But, you don’t need to change anything, you said it’s no problem to leave.

I have a difficult time finding any logic or semblance of thought in your response.

You realized that and it is why you have edited it multiple times already.

You should know why you created this thread, right?

I have crippling poison on and I’m spamming fan of knives, I’m just kitting the mob so others don’t waste their resources. Please don’t kick me. :frowning:

Even worse is when you get into a group, and the one dps is only doing 5k dps

Backseat drivers are never really all that desired.

I am guessing your experiences that drove you to make this thread are largely ones from either random groups or PuG groups. These kinds of groups don’t really foster an environment where all the players involved are invested in each other’s goals.

All players in this content are only there for their individual goals and there is little accountability for acting like a jerk.

I’d recommend that you find a good consistent group to run content with. Especially if you are tanking or healing. It is hard to expect people who are there only for themselves to all of a sudden care about the overall well being of the group.

My advice regarding tanking for randoms:

Don't.

Thanks. You’re right, it was a PUG.

I was already doing them a favour by tanking for their 7+ key, as my tank is WAY over-geared for it. I literally had no use for any possible drops and was doing it to enjoy a mindless run.

Instead of appreciating me tanking for their easy key and getting a nice +3, they just kept pulling and then yelling in caps because I wouldn’t tank the 2nd boss a particular spot that the DPS preferred.

Sigh… It just gets old. I need to stop PUGGING.

Just do what I do

Tricks of the trade on a tank

Start pulling trash

Unless it’s bursting or bolstering, and don’t do it if the tank is pulling fast enough already and don’t do it if your in any content that you can’t pretty much solo all the mobs

Why stress about it? As you clearly said:

Too many tanks with not a single clue about 10+ routes.

I’ll flag you because you said it and that is the rule of GD

It is past your bedtime Astrius. :slight_smile:
