Seriously, it’s all I freaking ask.
If the rest of the group can’t catch up, you’re going too fast. Slow down. That goes double for the VDHs out there, this might come as a shock to your single fel-touched braincell, but the rest of us don’t have glide and double jump . . .
Go, go, go speed has been a complaint since the end of Wrath, starting of Cata. It’s not going to change. If your tank isn’t going fast enough your DPS are bursting ahead to pull more for them. Also, slow methodical pack pulls are too-snore-boring. There’s no happy medium. You throw your copium around as best you can and hope you all make it. I fondly remember when my MM hunter used to act as tail gunner and my pet would tank the middle of whatever monsters the DPS or healer aggro pulled, while tank handled the most of the mob.
The less time they have to deal with DPS the better.
i was with a lvl 11 fury warrior for a few runs on an alt. i really didnt do anything except collect xp. he drug everything to the boss, killed it and moved on. just dont attack anything, use whatever you can to stay somewhat close, and enjoy the free time.
you seem to have missed the part where the tank I was with tried that and got the party wiped.
besides, just chasing after M+ tryhards on twink characters isn’t my idea of fun.
So I get in this ZF right? 40 BM Hunter but I’m looking hot in my new T2. Tank was like already up ahead when I got in but ran up on him and it’s okay he’s living. He wants to avoid 3 mobs off to one side so he starts trying to climb up the side mounds and hop over right and I’m like okay I can figure out ‘follow the tank’ but someone didn’t. Next thing you know here come the mobs the tank was trying to avoid and that’s it the two dps that faced pulled them die, followed by the healer. Tank comes running back at me and I see him fade out as he leaves the group. So like I solo the rest of the mobs and…
KIDDING! I FD. Get placed in que again. 30 seconds later got a full group, we clear it quick and easy, I get 5 levels.
But yeah if that first tank had just grabbed those 3 mobs and just moved along it would have been fine, healer was good with the heals on him. We would have been done fast enough. Or you could blame the DPS that face pulled. Either way.
One word. Fun.
not everyone is familiar with all the skips and nobody learns them if spaztastic speedrunner tanks don’t take the time to tell people what they’re doing.
Saw it happen in deadmines lasst night, for me. The tank was a monk, no problm there. I think the problem was that the healer happened to be an evoker. Anyways, the tank was doing their thing, going fast,but its deadmines, so whatever, right?
Maybe that they were actually gaining levels during the run was the problem? Either way, they did seem to be tryinging to speed through it. I waspulling aggro on occasion, too. Its so weird for that to happen these days. As a result of that, I died a few times. Had to mention to the tank that there were patrols and couldn’t get back to the group. THey had ot slow their roll and come all the way back.
Once they slowed down and gave the healer ample time to actually heal, things went smoothly.
To all tanks. SLOW THE @!@#$$$$ DOWN. This ain’t a race. I’m all for doing the dungeons a bit faster but relax,dudes/dudettes.
Not my idea of fun.
If you get agro when the tank is still pulling YOU are failing.
This is why no one wants to tank. The tank is blamed when the dps can’t figure out how their abilities work and pull from all over the dungeon. The tank is blamed when something that can easily be walked past is just wondered into because DPS are amazing and shouldn’t ever be bothered with paying attention to anything but their dps meter.
How am I failing if the tank is running away from trash and leaving the party to be slaughtered? If the tank isn’t keeping agro while pulling the whole dungeon at once that’s not my fault.
How are you getting agro if the tank is still pulling? Are you too dense to just follow and not hit things?
Aggro doesn’t just happen. You shouldn’t be dpsing while the tank is grouping mobs.
Because the tank pulled all the trash to the boss and frigging got the party wiped with AoE spam. Just because the tank can faceroll the whole dungeon doesn’t mean the whole party can.
In Classic Deadmines?
Yeah some mobs do the front cleave, some do AOE flamestrike, and then the ones that cast ‘melt ore’ the Engineers that have a big magic debuff tend to kill a lot of people.
In Timewalking Deadmines, yes. I’m not familiar enough to tell you which mobs were leaving large circles of firey death on the ground, but when multiple of them stack it’ll kill people before they can move away.
congrats now how much are you contributing while being dead because you didnt wait for the tank to gather? if a tank wants to pull big, i let him if they die then its on them. most of the time they dont and the dungeon progresses faster
because players run a 100 TW dungeons during the week on alts and they’re trying not to gouge out their eyes from the repetition.
