Why do tanks just keep running?

All zone in and the tank immediately runs towards the first pack and just keeps picking up mobs and moving forward and nobody is ready. No situational awareness, people left behind trying to catch up, no f’s given regarding buffs or mana, etc.

Cause we don’t need you or your participation at all as can clear it solo. You might as well just be npc’s

If you are a 5500 tank, sure, yeah but these wannabe’s are doing it in gammas at 4700. You’re not that good.

If it was HOS or HOL the mechanic is to chain pull, that’s how the dungeon is intended to be done.

I don’t know why but it’s pretty trifling. Healing on an alt I get 18-19 out of 20 good groups but those bad ones are just awful.

Good thing though, it’s not every group so I know I’m not that bad, just kinda terrible and not good enough to keep a bad group healed up.

If they run too far ahead of you and cannot see (or do not care) about your mana bar, just let them fall. Next time they might actually pay attention.

Probably not, but just maybe… :smiley:

Thanks.

That I understand, but this is on dungeons that don’t have that affix (PoS, UK, UP, etc).

Oh, most of the time there’s no choice but to sit and hope they survive till I get 20-25% mana. I hate it because if they don’t, usually everyone dies.

Bro, u zone in full mana most the time, u do what 1-2 buffs. still over 80% mana. you hit the ready button to zone in. so I don’t understand your complaint other than to be a whiny millennial .

I’m talking the whole run clownshoes, not just the very start.

only time u stop pulling is for mana…

Yeah, my wife plays a healer. Many is the time we have zoned into dungeons and could not catch up with the tank in time to fight a boss. Interesting watching one or two people try to take a dungeon boss down without support. :smiley:

Thanks.

Idk how u all even go out of mana. i play a 5.3 shaman alt dont think i ever went below 40% mana.

Not a millenial, nice try. Some people are sitting for food buffs, etc.

My point is, not even a r? or check of any kind, just barrel through and not stopping expecting heals, etc. Not every class can attack while moving.

Don’t forget, some people are perfect and think everyone should be as awesome as they are instead of mediocre or bad.

I try and play under the assumption that everyone is as bad as me so sometimes I’m pleasantly surprised when things go smooth and not terribly disappointed when they go sideways.

I’m a 5.7k GS Disc Priest. Got into a Gamma yesterday with a 4.5k tank, 3 dps below 5k and me. Tank wouldn’t give me even a second to drink or buff the group after just changing from shadow to disc upon zoning in. Somehow still made it to the last boss room but tank died the 2 packs before the boss. Got mad and left. Next tank was 5.3k GS. Easily killed everything and got last boss down.

People are just silly.

Are you playing a 5.3 Restro or 5.3 Elem Shaman?

Not usually a problem on my Druid since I’m ready to go out the gate, but whenever I’m playing a dps I’ve definitely noticed this trend, the healer’s figuring out their quests or is taking a sip at the entrance and the tank is already halfway to the first boss and then they get buried in the dirt

Doesn’t happen very often, but it’s quite entertaining when it does
