Oh look another fanboy ! Tell me more please. See if I care.
Because in the higher end 20+ keys it’s not your job to heal stupid. The role for healers then shift heavily into damage dealing and people failing the basics cost the team extra damage and reserved cooldowns for very specific pulls.
Kinda the same thing about pulling for the tank, in higher keys you’ll either die or force the tank to commit cooldowns to a pull that wasn’t one of their planned cd pulls that they mapped out before the run even started.
The reality is the people who pull for the tank (unless asked) are just bad players and the same can be said for the dps who stand in everything and expect a healer to do their job when the healer actually has multiple jobs.
These aren’t really issues in the high end though because those people get blacklisted or simply cannot get that high because of that silly mindset.
I’d agree that pulling for the tank and standing in stuff in lower content isn’t a huge deal, but it also creates bad habits that don’t translate well in higher tier content with better players. They’re also effectively making it harder on a person that could be learning to tank and having some potato pull everything for you to save 20 seconds on the run by making it way more chaotic will turn many off from it.
When I rarely tank and people do that to me in low content I just walk past them and grab the next assuming they have it under control, I only intervene if the healer gets aggro from healing them.
My hands off take on it anyways as those people don’t impact me where I play.
When the entire thread thinks you are a joke, then it should tell you something.
Edit: When the entire thread of veteran tanks think you are a joke, then it should tell you something.

I’ve tried tanking and I want to tank but I just can’t. my biggest issues are that I don’t know the optimal routes, which gets me kicked and I literally can’t hold aggro, which also gets me kicked. If anyone even pokes the mob I’m fighting, it will turn and attack them. I can’t take back aggro ether, even using taunt, it will go back to attacking everyone else once they hit it.
Who asked ? Please keep pumping this BS thread more.
Need a thread which made by OP who is not even specced in blood. Has tanked for 2 days.
Right place to find recognition. Here have some 
Tell me more. This thread is going places, you can tell.
“You’ll never know how strong you are if you dont push the limit”
“Hard times create strong tanks”
Who would you trust more as a tank?
Some tank with nice clean shiny armor who hasn’t seen hard battle, Does everything by the book.
Or the the tank who is battle scarred from being in the thick of things and coming out on the other side, someone who can make decisions on the fly, adapt, improvise.
Nice try trolling. a little passive-aggressive. Try to work on that.
Your go-to response when you have nothing better to say.
Again, you were the one gloating about never using mitigation when you are a low-tier content player who only timed a singular +15 while being carried in it. You clearly don’t know how tanking works, yet continue to talk like your zero-experience opinion is true.
I am agreeing with you. Yes, tanks are fun right now. Everyone has a different play style. I did not say your style does not work.
I’m confused, what do you mean by trolling? I was just typing two of my issues I’ve had when I try tanking. How is that trolling?
That’s objectively false. It’s your job to heal everything.
with the dungeon designs nowadays at low keys press W and you’ll be fine. Gone are the days where you’d pull 150% unless you do some skips
If you’re on that dk. Drop dnd on your target location then press blood boil as you’re in the group. Instant aggro then start tab targetting on all target as you heart strike or marrow rend them while using blood boil on cd.
Also are you using blood spec? Because you shouldn’t be loosing aggro that easily unless you’re low geared and playing w/ players 50+ ilvl on you
yup some of us play well and some…
and you found a thread that is made to address issues on Normal dungeons and Heroic Dungeons? which is the lowest level of content.
Tell me more, please. I want to see you defend your logic here.
Not if it comes at the cost of losing the tank or stopping me from performing one of my needed secondary roles. If you stand in something stupid that is gonna set me back, you’re gonna die.
Everyone is expected to not stand in obvious things at that level and occasional accidents do happen in more chaotic pulls. But blatantly standing in dumb stuff due to tunnel vision gets you dead.
We can agree to disagree on what you think my job is.
Thelion’s entire forum bit can be boiled down to “actually, playing badly is cool and good.”

Tell me what is wrong with it when the OP is pushing normal or heroic mode ? Looks like time
I dont see a timer on HC mode. Do you ?
Ah, my DK is not my tank. I play Paladin and Warrior for my tanks. I also haven’t tanked since the first 2 weeks of my return to wow which was two months ago after skipping all of shadowlands.
So, when I did return everyone was over 100 ilvls above me just ripping aggro off me.
Please quote the thread title or OP where it specifically mentions Normal and Heroic dungeons. I’ll wait.
I want to see you defend your logic of how you think you know more about actual tanking mechanics with zero experience.
Make a thread. I will. This thread you are not hijacking.
