7 Reasons You Should Be Nicer to Tanks (And People in General)

[Trancery]

Jack Macallen, I love your posts. Your writing style is great and you make a lot of great points. It's the way you do it that makes these threads so entertaining to read. They are informative while also being quite funny.

On topic, being a healer when I find a good tank I tend to stick with him like a pit bull on a poodle. No homo intended, but I'm in firm belief that a good healer needs a good tank and good tank needs a good healer. The dps are great but they can usually be filled with x variables since there are so many to choose from.

Tank AND Healer are usually thankless jobs and the first ones to blame when things go wrong. However, tanks need healers and we (healers) need you (tanks).

Also, the person who posted after you has a point as well. Some tanks are outright assholes on this game. It is because they are self-entitled and since the queue is nothing for them they get to hold the group hostage.

This is spot on, which is why it's so frustrating when the tank refuses to co-operate. Of course DPS are needed too, but the tank and the healer are almost linked together. I keep you alive, you keep enemies off of me. Then while we're doing that the DPS kill everything. If only it was that simple. *sigh*

Thanks Trancery! I appreciate the props, and I plan on "doing it again" and again. Assuming of course, I don't slip something inappropriate and ban-worthy in future posts.

Which I probably will. On accident. But not on accident.

I can't win.
