IMO, this sounds like clueless healer. The only time I've had issues with the sastasha pulls you are describing is when the healer is terribly undergeared or just not casting.

To me, this healer doesnt sound that bad. Granted, I don't like pug healers playing the last 20% of my HP in a PUG, cause it usually isn't necessary and I have no idea whether or not I'm fine because...

To me, tanks that ask the healer how much they should pull just kinda scream "I'm new". I mean, I get the intention of trying to be courteous, but it's just a weird ask esp at that low lvl.

I only...

Manor NM

Tank lvl 40ish before sync and is squishy, but seems newer, so I waited til the end to say something. Towards the end of the run, I tell the tank that after the dungeon, they should look...

Thanks man. I've been playing the game forever and TIL these existed, lol!

The reason I think he wasnt is levels dont look right.

The 38-40 gear was probably okay. but for example, the lvl 28 pants. Velveteen Trousers have melee stats and are level 28, but are not tank...

I'm pretty sure you're correct here. Between 15 and 40 there aren't too many tank upgrades that occur at lvls that aren't divisible by 5.

The Stone Vigil NM

I started a new character recently and wanted to get one more dungeon run in on my WAR before I went to bed.

Lately have been having trouble with healers that are severely...

Behavior aside, and while unfortunate for the new tank, this is a legit kick IMO.

At the end of the day, this is a team game. Everyone but the tank wanted a faster pace. As teammates in a team...

My argument is "the fight won't be faster" and by extension that the primary role of a dps is to make the fight as quick as possible. This is an important distinction. Fleche is a dps increase, but...

Im not going to be able to hold off a good DPS who goes ham on a single mob who has been hit with a single flash / shield lob, unless i pulls small. If a good dps wants to pull off me during a large...

The tank going into an all caps outburst was uncalled for, but it wasnt over nothing. It was over DPS occurring during the pull. How do you think that situation would have turned out if you just...

Assuming you're planning to holmgang -> benediction with a healer you are coordinating with, how does an early holmgang cause a wipe? Couldn't your healer just benediction you early as well instead...

It's a minor optimization. The brunt of the value is that you avoid a loading screen.
In guildhests, after you've completed the objectives, the game goes to a load screen and moves you to the...

Again... We are talking a minimum of cure II spam and sprint... Not asking you to move the world or be some WHM savant, am asking you, at the very least, to press one button repeatedly. Is that too...

Didn't get your way so you took your toys and went home? Why should the way you want to play override the tanks preference?

If he's doing what he is supposed to, at worst you're looking at...

It's really not that bad. Since this patch I've been running w/ a buddy of mine who alts healer and I'm pretty sure he's less than ilvl 330. We've been doing pulls to the wall on these new dungeons...

You are what is wrong with this game.

For what it's worth, even if you run big pulls you experience the rare "elitist casual" who will yell at you for not being causal enough lol. I've literally had a DPS criticize me in discord for...

I don't think you're being elitist just wanting people to AoE on a large pull. The whole point of the dps being there is to reduce the run time.

The big issue with single target in an AoE scenario...

... You held this player accountable for the attitude someone else took with you? That doesn't make any sense...

I think you'd have alot less opposition if you left because the BLM said they...

The heads at that section will break aggro and reset after you get far enough out, and the balance at the end can be activated without tablets, which just causes a group to spawn. In other words, you...

This just isn't true or at least is not consistently true unless the tank is pulling small.


Don't pre-pull regen.
If the healer regens pre-pull, they are going to enter combat immediately,...

Some level of encouragement for you:
What you are experiencing is likely happening solely because you are inexperienced. When I was first learning to tank, this type of thing happened to me (as well...

It really kinda depends. Qarn NM is a place where you can end up with a party with 0 AoE capabilities. If you're pulling 1 group at a time, you might as well use Sword Oath (it wasn't too long ago...
