Let’s get something clear about tanking and spec roles. Tanks are literally the most important role in a group. They are literally the quarterbacks of clearing content. They control everything and guide the dps like a sheepherder guiding the pack through the valley of death. You think that’s easy? We’re lucky if even one DPS knows what to kick and actually does it. If i had a nickle for every missed kick by DPS i’d be a millionaire. And then LOLOL expecting a DPS to stun a mob that NEEDS to be stunned? That’s not happening unless you have a tank on an alt run playing as dps, then the job gets done.
Now you might think i’m spoiled or asking too much, but i’ll just reply that why should i do all the research and execution and correcting of YOUR mistakes whether it be pulling a patrol or some random mob or some hunter spraying the entire side of the dungeon mobs with barrage? So YES, i will be angry, i will put you in your place, and i will kick you.
You deserve it. At the very least you can say you’re sorry, and TRY not to do it again. Why don’t dps even bother learning mob mechanics in dungeons and routes and how best they can help the group with their spec? Why please tell me why? Why is dps so casual about helping groups clear dungeons? Let me tell you something. DPS has one job, and that is to do big damage to bosses. If you arent doing at least 6k, and that is the bare minimum you should be doing in 210 gear. Then you have failed the group and should take some time to learn your class and dont forget mob mechanics, you make people hate healing.
Now, It’s not always bad. There is sometimes a bright side to a smooth clear. If you do a good job i’ll say ty gg and i know for a fact you main a tank. So let’s all try to be better dps and stop putting all the weight on the tank and heals, and understand how hard a tanks job is, dont be a clown like asmongold that thinks tanking is easy when he never does it on any hard content and literally does bottom dps unless he invites his own dps viewers.
Every tank understands this, the attitude doesnt come from us, it is born from DPS being bad.
Nope, healers are. At any given point I can let you die, but I won’t, because I want to complete runs.
A skillful DPS can pick up after lazy tanks, if they have good defensives.
And a wipe is just an easy way to get rid of a prima-donna.
Lock yourself in your apartment for a few days and you’ll find that your toilet is one of your most important appliances.
Far be it for me to argue with the toilet who posted this thread, while toilets spend most of their time filled with excrement, the way the body is engineered makes it hard to get by without them.
And I always thought everyone was needed to complete dungeons and raids. Well I guess that explains why tanks are soloing the current mythic dungeons and raids.
VERY debatable in raiding. Maybe in Mythic plus, and even then only in pugs because they are setting the route.
Again VERY debatable. Healing coordination is more important for raiding, and dps coordination is often more important for mythic plus with priority targets, interrupts, etc.
Again VERY debatable.
Considering thanks to IO it’s pretty easy to pick competent dps I’d say yes?
That sounds like a failure on your part to pick competent players for groups.
And if I had a nickel for every tank that mispulled a patrol I’d be a billionaire. Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal.
Except you won’t because you’ll punt the key, or screw the raid over, so sit down little napoleon.
See, the thing is, when DPS or healers make a mistake, and an unpleasant person who’s tanking sees it, they don’t just make a suggestion or point out a way to fix it. They curse, they abuse the player, they link meters and elitist helper logs, they threaten to quit, they insult players’ character names, and they do this for the entire dungeon run.
You do this, OP. You know you do. You and the tanks like you (there are actually VERY few people in the game as pointlessly rude and mean - it’s really sad that you think all tanks are like you) have so much nastiness that you couldn’t even confine it to the game, you had to bring it here. That’s why you and your attitude gross us out.
If tanks are the most important things in dungeons… why aren’t you solo’ing them?
The whole group is important, tanks and healers for obvious reasons, but also the DPS.
DPS are actually important to making a group run smoothly, especially since healers can oom, and a good chunk of them actually suck at their jobs. (Put the interrupt button back on your bar and use it always.)
And Good DPS can carry bad tanks. (CCs, offheals, earth eles, ec…)
Respect your DPS the same way you’d respect a tank.
Crap DPS = bad.
Crap Tank = bad.
Crap Healer = bad.
