I have a question trying to learn to tank is bad... I was trying to tank in the new raid the other day and some to same I'm the most nice's way was a angry person got mad at me for not tanking right. I was trying to ask questions but he guy/girl would not stop pulling and continue to tell because I didn't do as they said.
Person: ffs if you don't know how to tank don't be a pld"
Like to tank but it was my first time doing raid fights where I had to off tank and tank swap, I just had some questions to ask the main tank but they just kept pulling and getting mad at me.it make me not wanna do new content with random people...
Sorry I'm a bad tank but I do like learning new things.
PS.i beat it later with a friend who took the time to stop and tell me the part I was having a problem with
I'm a bad tank

Don't worry about people who get mad at you. ESPECIALLY if you are just starting off. Keep practicing and eventually you will improve. It's good that you have questions and are trying to learn. You'll get there some day.
If you want, you can try looking at videos on YouTube about how other tanks handle certain fights.
And if you have any specific questions about how to tank, just ask them here and I'm sure a lot of friendly people will help you out. -

You know what? Not everyone hits level 60 or 70 and immediately knows everything about their job. Some people have a harder time then others, ESPECIALLY if this is their first MMO. If you can tell people are having trouble with their class, it doesn't help one bit to lash out and tell them they are bad. Especially because it doesn't take much to recognize what they are doing wrong and give them tips on how they might improve.

I stopped playing my level 60 Warrior because having to listen to people trying to micromanage exactly how I tanked all the time was just too annoying. I switched pretty much exclusively to DPS classes, just because they're so much more relaxing to play in groups.

As someone who has only played Warrior, one thing that has always bugged me and still does, is how I have never been inside of a dungeon with a bad tank. Since I've always been the tank. :( So I don't know how good or bad I am!
No one's ever complained, tho... -

Lol same everyday dungeons I never heard anything about my tanking is bad.i got done with stormblood and no one said a thing.
I like people to tell me what I can improve at but you don't really have to be nasty with it. I guess that's my real point lol -
07-08-2017, 04:28 PMOcieKoFind an FCbie or friend who plays tanks play with you, and deliberately ask if anything could be improved right BEFORE the final boss. Thats about the only two ways of getting general notes on how to improve your tanking.Quote:

In my experience, this attitude is very common among the dps role; I have never seen this with healers or tanks. Idk why some of these people have such a short fuse, maybe had a bad day at work and want to just blow up on the next poor sap they see. Unfortunately, you will see this a lot and it's just something you have to deal with in the beginning.
