Yeah like if he said that, I wouldn’t even start an issue with him and just left peacefully because that’s not my preferred speed. I had a problem with it because multiple other people said the same thing to him, he just seemed to not care at all what anyone thinks because his spec is on a shortage and people need him.
That type of entitlement is frustrating.
Whatever help your tank ego rest easy at night I guess, the entire party dipped and had the same complaints as me so if 4 people are telling you that you’re wrong and you seem to think you’re right then this post makes even more sense in my mind because the entitlement is incredibly thick with tank players.
I do play tank on my main, I get some bad DPS and yes I have my issues with it as well. But I also am not the type of tank to not listen to my party or raid, if they are saying I need to do something better I will assess my skills instead of getting emotional and power tripping on people.
I understand as tank they need me more than I need them, but I don’t use that as leverage to do whatever I want.
A tank honestly doesn’t have a right to choose the pace of the dungeon if everyone in the group is asking otherwise. In that case, you’re subject to be removed. A group is just that… it’s a group effort. not just the tank
Apparently according to some people in this thread tha tank is the end all be all and everyone needs to bow down to them, like I said the entitlement is thick. It’s never their fault, they always place the blame on everyone else.
If you want to set the pace as a tank go quest in the open world, you can set your own pace against open world mobs since you seem to not care about anyone but yourself.
Well, he could have been trolling or just didnt care to respond to such requests or idk lol but hey it is what it is. Just add him on the block list or whatever to avoid encountering the tank again and just move on to having fun
Unsure though of the tank being egotistical lol just the tank didnt say anything about wanting to take it slow and easy.
Why on earth were you running that dungeon? If everyone was so over geared they were able to pull half the dungeon at a time, there was no value in running it. I think there is a lot missing from this story. You strike me as an unreliable narrator.
Maybe he is new or something, just let him tank at his pace. Its a level 30 dungeon… maybe he just enjoys the classic experience… maybe he hasnt played the game in 15 years… who knows, maybe he clicks his abilities… if you wanted an AOE farming/speed clearing group, advertise that and pick up people who want that experience.
They made this game and this games rules and definitions. This is blizzards right to do as the games dev.
Which blizzard so kindly has defined tank and there roles as per as mentioned the summary on the role you get when picking it in retail. Which includes the responsibility to set the runs pace.
Being part of a team means each person has there role and you work together to meat a goal.
The tanks role is to set that pace among other things.
A great tank will adjust to the party pace wise. A good tank will only just not wipe the team. A bad tank will wipe the team.
Just to be clear, I agree the OP is at fault but in this case he did say it was a 3 button spec at that level which if we’re looking at SM is ~40s or so. Now, I will agree it’s been a decade since a leveled a pally in wrath but I’m pretty sure not all the tools for 69 are available at that level. He likely doesn’t have SoR or HoR, so it’s pretty close to 3 buttons.
If he said that, the it’s fine. He never said that, and I never called him out in a toxic way. He resorted to power tripping instead which escalated causing the rest of the party to disband.
Sorry but regardless of what Blizzard says they themselves don’t honor it and neither do any of the players.
In this case, the entire party disbanded because a single player decided he was above everyone else despite being told to do something that he was more than capable of doing.
Regardless of your position on the team, being a team player is far more important than waving around a tank spec thinking people owe you anything.
Nothing worse than tank who also doesn’t care what the party wants and does whatever he wants despite it slowing down the party and making him a hindrance.
Just because you play tank doesn’t magically absolve you from being a bad player.
