Now, I am very well geared on multiple characters, I was only pulling one trash group at a time and not leap frogging the tank. So while tanks have a bad experience, they are now extremely touchy and can have poor communication. The healer was keeping up with me and no one else in the group had an issue with me taking the initial trash out. There should be common reasonable things a DPS does within reason that a tank would not get hurt over. The tank missed out in the end. I have Treek full Verpine geared so she was extra heals and we burned through just as fast. All because of trash mobs? Silly if you ask me. And if it's an issue? SAY SOMETHING! Rage quit is no better than anything else a DPS does that tanks would consider unreasonable. people like you are one of the reasons i don't tank pugs. do NOT pull for me. just becasue I can probably pull the mobs off you, doesn't mean I enjoy being in a position of having to catch up and mob up YOUR screwups. if you like to set the pace? roll a damn tank yourself. if you like to be the one initiating pulls? roll a damn tank yourself. whenever I run into people like you on my healer, I give them one warning. "you pull ahead of the tank again, and I'm not healing you anymore" and then, I let them die.

I was tanking a HM FP and a miss-queued Sorc, spec'd for heal but in the DPS role, was playing tank. The healer and I decided to let them have their fun. The issue corrected itself when the Sorc pulled 6 or 7 silvers (people seem to often seriously underestimate how much peak damage comes in at the start of such fights) and died almost immediately, after which the mobs were quickly and properly dispatched. No AoE taunts were wasted. If you have a little patience and a cooperative healer, letting the tank pull is a lesson that teaches itself.

i avoid pug tanking because i don't always know all the fights inside and out (because i don't tank often - usually i heal) and that tends lead to people criticizing my ability as a tank. i don't think i've ever left a group who worked with me and explained mechanics, no matter how bad they were. however, those groups are rare. the difference is dps and heals don't really need to know the most of the mechanics. all they do is talk big and blame others for their shortcomings. that gets annoying quick. on the other hand, if a marauder wants to leap at a pile of red trash mobs, who cares? they're trash mobs. the game is too easy anyway. the worst that happens is you wipe and try again. you don't really die, you just pay a repair bill that really isn't that much. i can only speak for myself, but i'm just not the sort of prima-donna that always needs to be the center of attention. if you're the sort of tank that's going to cry because you don't always get your way, i'd be perfectly fine with you quitting any group i'm in.

No, he did not get an insta pop. I looked him up later and found he was still in Czerka doing his dailies and had not gotten a pop yet. Takes awhile if you don't have a healer, you know? So.. tanks: have problem with a DPS, speak up and don't be child and rage quit. People can't read your mind.

People can't read your mind. no it takes a while, when you take a 15 minute debuff from quitting a group. and yes, sometimes waiting out that debuff is preferably to staying in your current group. and the tanks are understandably pissy. the fact that you absolutely do not get why - is part of the reason why tanks are pissy. the fact that healer was going along with you only added to the issue. and honestly, given your attitude, if tank had said something like.. stop pulling ahead of me. would you have actualy stopped? somehow I don't think so. so what would be the point of wasting their breath when YOU should know better. its just trash excuse doesn't wash.

My attitude when a healer is: my job is keeping the group from wiping, and the tank's job is to make it possible for me to do so. Lowering the load on the healer is the primary reason tanks exist (with grouping mobs for AoE being #2). As a healer, I appreciate them doing that for me. So in a dispute between a tank and a DPS, I'd usually side with the tank. That said, if the tank does not indicate any unhappiness with the DPS pulling the trash, I would have to assume the tank is okay with it. When I tank and a DPS makes a habit of that, I just pull out the popcorn and reflect on how much lower my repair bills will probably be. Now, if a DPS starts pulling bosses and causes a wipe, that's another matter. Frustration and disappointment are a function of your expectations. Set your expectations low when pugging, and you won't be as frustrated and/or disappointed. And remember, stupid players can make for great stories, so if you never pug, you miss out on some epically lame stuff.

I would guard good DPS over good healers. Still too often some DPS tend to start fights before tanks. Can't imagine how it'd go if I guarded them in PUGs! Happened to me just yesterday. Said in group chat: Sec, plz wait for cooldown, and one DSP jumped into a group of mobs. Guess what only the DPS died. Most funny thing the healer said something along there's a reason you let tanks open a fight. One thing though: as a tank queue wait times are usually very short so while I never done it, dropping a group is never a matter of being stuck waiting for a replacement. P.S.: never said I was a good tank either

So.. tanks: have problem with a DPS, speak up and don't be child and rage quit. People can't read your mind. Good so when the level shift to 60, you can probaly tank too right and act that way. Serious the flaw is, cause you need to show off overgeared dpsers with good overgeared healers can tank too. Was noting new, the main issue is can you do that in raids? How fast would you be removed from the raid if you don't respect the roles? Sorry classic case of while understandable you can do without a tank. Cause you are overgeared. And probaly very skilled, you show no respect for your fellow players. Why should somebody who painstakingly gather tanking gear, just feel regulated to second role. When a skilled dpser overgeared kills faster and tanks as well with a competent healer. Shows you maybe the tanks do need easy mode TPS. So then dpsers can go wild but can't pull off aggro.

Even if you really know what you're doing it's just best for everybody if you just let the Tank go in first.
