Who Causes the Majority of Wipes: Tanks, Healers, or DPS?

Look, speaking as a player that left and came back to WoW after skipping over a decade worth of expansions, I tend to learn most of these fights by just jumping right into the deep end and hoping I can swim. If I get it right I can go home with a smile on my face and a new piece of gear. If I get it wrong, I’m gonna try over and over again until I either drown in other players fleeing the dungeon over wipes or I get it right. I don’t watch hours and hours of videos on how to beat a certain boss fight, I spend all of ten minutes reading up on the fight mechanics, then jump into the fray and learn by rote from there. We used to do that back in the early days before WoWHead and Icyveins truly entered into the community conscious. Be mindful of your surroundings maybe, there’s a lot to be said about situational awareness when learning mechanics of a boss fight. I can safely say that I’ve never wiped when wwe get people that know the fights and are dedicating their attention to said fight and everything that it entails.

This whole thread started as a “blame somebody” thread when the reality is that the one to blame is simply yourself, because blaming everyone else only succeeds in you attempting to shirk your own role in the failure. If I screw up, then the failure is mine. Stop playing the blame game and just play the frickin’ game.
