They had should named it Troll Tower, because you encounter the most annoying people in there.

1 of 10 Raids in there don´t run smooth, starting from a Tailwhipe at first Trash which kills of half the Raid (80% probability)... to DD´s focusing dumb on the Bone Dragon and kill them off while Tanks spotting of the Skeletons of each other... Ragemeter full after 10 Minutes, not to mention how much BS one single person can pull off in 40-60 minutes and p*** of 23 other ppl :D

It´s always a relief, when i got the loot for the week, knowing i don´t have to go in there anymore :P

And to give something to the Topic, it´s not the tanks who get the flames, some ppl just want to flame. They see, they shoot, no matter what´s the target

Tanking can be intimidating sometimes. I usually tank in all MMOs I play and it can be quite stressful. Granted I haven't really healed much, but I'm always grateful to a good healer, they are my lifeline. DPS does need to make sure they deal damage quickly so the encounter can be over quicker and the tank doesn't take too much damage. We all play our parts in the battle and if any part of a light party dies, you do can feel the strain. That being said, it does feel like a lot is expected of a tank. You kind of become default party leader as you dictate the order of battle, or at least try. You have to keep a keen eye on the entire battlefield and ensure you get the right mobs, know which mobs to ignore, etc. To the point that walkthroughs feel mandatory for even a first pass. I haven't really gotten farther as any other role, but I do wonder do DPS and Healers feel the same way in their progression through the game?

I main an i90 Paladin, these days I only play it for FC stuff and raids.

Rest of the time I just play my i83 monk for roulettes/random groups, because I can't be bothered with people anymore. Playing DPS is relaxing and no one tries to pin blame on you when they screw up :)

I don't mind taking responsibility. I think there's more of an issue with players that falsely blame others because they don't know the game mechanics though. I call these Fake elitists.

Hate to say it but I have to agree, when I tried to give someone in here advice on what they could do better the next time around, they get super defensive and begin to throw out insults because I didn't pity them. It was clear that they need to improve in tanking, but instead they rather blame everyone else but themselves for why things went wrong.

If you do not know the game mechanics while everyone else does and you fail because of that, how is pointing that out false? If they don't tell you, wont you repeat the same mistake the next go around? I rather a person tell me I'm lacking so I can improve than to go around causing my future parties headache because I am bad at my job.
