    Dear DPS.

    If I mark something, like say the doctore in halitali who knocks off 10% of my health a swing(and that was on a block!). it means kill him first. not second, not third, not change the mark to the stupid imps because you can kill them faster than him. they do negligible damage, to the point where its smarter to ignore them until the end of the fight(excepting AoE threat generator use of course).

    Tanks have an intimate knowledge of what's dangerous(it's kind of hitting us really hard, despite the armor, shield, axe, and reductions) unless otherwise stated("Hey guys, it's my first time here!") and will likely use that knowledge to mark the greatest threat to everyone's safety for accelerated killing.

    I can and will leave, go watch tv for fifteen minutes, or just go outside and walk around the block so that I don't start developing bedsores and to mitigate the paling of my skin.

    I am not saying this to try and command you to my will, just asking you to please, for the love of god, follow the damn mark. You get all bitchy if I don't mark, but when I do, you don't follow it anyways. I'm getting mixed messages here.

    Love, Tank.

    Hate to say this but you must of had a really bad group because how does a dps not attack the 1 first?

    People routinely ignore my marks. I just put them up so I can justifiably ignore them when they pull hate.

    Exactly, As a DPS, i know that if i pull hate from a non-primary marked target, it is my very own fault if i die from it.
    Although, not many DPS' realize that they have some sort of responsibility as well other than just doing damage.

    So does that mean your not gonna save a little ole blm doing AOE also or am I good if we play? Because if your not holding Aggro on them all them and only the one then we got problems. yeah yeah wait for tank to get Aggro etc...then AOE. Make sure your generating your Aggro to the other mobs.

    Don't be the warrior that request sleep on sleep resistant mobs because he does not want to tank more than 1 target at a time lol.

    that sounds nothing but merely a miscommunication between team members.

    Dear Tanks,

    Please actually mark adds instead of just ignoring the feature..

    Dear healers,

    Please stop standing there doing nothing when you could be helping out.

    I could go on this way but I realize me whining about the mistakes other roles make in the forums is pointless..

    Dear tank,

    Healing Halitali is pretty mellow. Even if a dps takes the Imp aggro, I'm pretty sure healer can heal through that. Can't we forget about class hierarchies and have fun?

    Once you get to AK, are you gonna be that guy who asks "Has everyone been here before?" followed by "Afk 120 mins" when only 1 DPS did not respond?

    If we wipe, do we have to worry about people being upset and raging? Can't we have mutual respect and talk about things instead of just assuming the other guy is an asshole?

    Love,
    DPS who does not like being held hostage

    Also When you use DF expect to sadly get a few bad players or new players. Try and find a group in your own server or group with friends.

    Dear Tank,

    Stop moving randomly after you get the mob/aggro.
