Attention Overgeared DPS in AK

[cfStatic]

Anyone wonders why there's always a tank shortage? There you go!

The only ignorance flying around here is DPS that think their role doesn't include threat management. Threat management isn't waiting a few seconds and then ignoring it. If DPS ever pulls and the tank isn't dead, the fault is entirely that DPS.

I can manage my threat just fine, but I'll be honest when I say that if I've waited 8 seconds for you to do a shield lob / tomahawk followed by a rage of halone or butchers block combo, and still pull aggro afterwards, I don't want you to tank for me. I run with PLD's and WAR's alike who can keep threat when I'm going all out. I'm mindful of tanks less geared than I am, but if I can't even do my rotation, there is a problem and it's not with me.

No, you need to read the thread so you don't come off as ignorant. See my above reply to Onimal. Are you a dd that goes ahead and pulls mobs on your own? Do you ignore marks? Do you even know there's a hate meter? (you'd be surprised at how many non-tanks don't even realize its there) If so, then good luck on waiting for a new tank and requeueing! I know I will after my 15 mins are up and maybe I'll get some proper dds that know how to play in a party properly.

Did you read the part where I said if I attack 1? Where I said I'd wait for you to do your combo? If I do these things and still end up having to stand around because I'm generating more threat than you, by all means. Do eat the 15 mins so I can take 5 and re-queue with a tank I know is going to be able to do his job.
