I feel like this is very applicable to most of your responses here, Shurrikhan. A lot of 'explaining' to us simple people about teamwork and the definition of communication.

Well, try arguing with my ideas. Do you think what I said about communication and teamwork is right or wrong? I don't know, couldn't grasp a single thing of value from your comment.

I wasn't even talking to you. I quoted your comment and then specified I said it was also applicable to someone else's attitude. I think I agreed with at least some of the things you said, so I'm not sure why you're coming after me so hard.

EDIT: To clarify, to avoid further confusion, I referred to someone by name in the post you quoted that I also felt it was applicable to them, with regards to their long-winded story about the literal etymological definition of 'teamwork' in a very condescending way that had very little to do with what anyone was ever talking about. So I added that quote in after I responded to them to say it could also be said about that post.

And you would most likely get votekicked and blacklisted.

I just tell tanks not to pull until I'm ready since I'm the one doing the majority of pulling. When DPS is low and they complain, I tell them to stay in their lane, as it's my job to kill stuff, their damage is just fluff lol.

In all seriousness it's really not that big a deal. If it is to you, then you have deeper issued you need to work out.

i can almost garentee they would not since most healers will do that if a dps pulls the boss and they see the tank not moving cause i tcan mean a few things tank is afk so the healer will die if they heal the dps . the tank is throwing a fit and not gonna pull again the healer will die if they heal the dps. or the tank go tdistracted by something in which case again the healer will likely die if they heal the dps. so in this scenario most healers will back out to save themself on repair costs.

Most? I've seen dozens of dps-pulls in quick runs, even onto bosses, and never a healer locking themselves out.

if the tank moves sure but if the tank is sitting there then most i have seen will back out along with the other dps cause they dont wanna take the chance of the tank being afk or something

Ahh, I missed that parameter. Still haven't seen it, but only because when the tank's stepped out, the whole party was already annoyed with them.

In my own case, I'd probably go in. I mean, if you're going to have to wait for returns anyways, death is a free CD reset.

Honestly I've never stopped tanking because a DPS pulled. I have however not tanked a particular monster that the DPS pulled. if I grab 2 Patrols and they insist they want three. then they can tank the 3rd themselves. Ill tank what I pulled, if he's somehow still alive by the time what I pulled is down then ill help.
