Things your tank requests from you

[Balaur]

Things we request from our tanks:

Mark targets. We can't hit what the tank refuses to establish, and the casters can't sleep or repose which you keep hitting to try to "build aggro." Flash works on slept targets, but so does healing aggro, so maintain Flash and don't break my sleeps!

Don't pretend you're the boss of the dungeon. 5:8 runs I've done with pugged tanks they didn't know their hand from their arse, and they needed their hand held through the content just as much as new DPS.

If the healer says "stop," STOP. Your survival depends on the healer's state to protect you. You rush in when they are trying to cast Protect/Proshell or put Stoneskin on you, you're gonna suffer. That causes more healing, and thus more healing aggro YOU have to deal with. You are one part of a team, you are not ALL of the team with some NPCs along to damage/heal for you.

I am sorry to hear you have had bad experiences with tank, but the bottom line is, the tank IS the boss of the dungeon. In fact, in many MMO's, the tank is given the team lead. The tank LEADS the party and you as a DPS will FOLLOW HIS INSTRUCTIONS. This is MMO 101.

This isn't a thread about what we want from tanks, read the title or gtfo.

this request you can do your self.
i ran as healer and marked the mobs for the tank.
i even asked if he wanted to do the job since i tough i took it away from him and he said glady: no, just do it.

should be the one with experience who marks. dont need to be the tank.

i ran a EASY dungeon and i was stuck with people who had NEVER done it and i had to mark the targets for them to make it easyer for me and for us to be able to make the dungeon( in the end we failed).

i was running as healer.

dont need to force the job on someone when anyone can do it.
