"Don't tell me how to do my job"

[Delorean]

i have 8k hp

i'll tank mobs with tonberrys shanking me if i want to

u just shut your heathen mouth and kill things for me ok =D

jk

I'm still a relatively young tank but its funny, when I'm in one group the healer complains that I break his sleep and I shouldn't use overpower, in the next group I cop flack on the first, yes the first pull because I did not overpower enough.

The greatest skill a tank must learn is patience.

i disagree vehemently

in this case

just keep breaking their sleeps anyway so that they will figure out what they are doing is pointless

Most of the heavy damage pulls in this game cannot be slept anyway. The only one I can think of is the one in Stone Vigil with the Dragon Aevis x2 (potentially 3, or is it 3?) + 3x Ice Elementals, and you can just run circles around the elementals to avoid taking damage from them.

and I mean we aren't talking about sleeping because someone accidentally pulled extra or because the tank cant hold aggro, we're talking about when there are 3 or 4 enemies and the healer is sleeping all targets but the active target. in lower level dungeons there have been times where i have taken spikes in damage that have almost killed me because a healer was sleeping something instead of healing me.

theres not really much of a reason to sleep targets if you ask me

Seriously?

A tank is the number one make or break for a group. If heals sucks a well geared tank can endure, if dps sucks a well geared tank will endure. If everyone dies and the tank is the last one left standing he possibly could endure.

Honestly you don't like how I do something? I hope you enjoy the re-Q, this is my group. If more than you don't like me in the group, then I can afk until one of you guys decided to leave.

My job is simple so I yours. You do it well and we won't have a problem, do it poorly we will its that simple.

Bro, I've tanked in almost every MMO that has come out to this date. Its never easy. I take on the role of the leader. And as a leader I don't like having my troops telling me what to do. Yeah its dickish, but it has to been done.

If you're doing stuff that I know for certain is going to get us both killed, I'm going to call you on it. It has to be done.

The OP's talking about a tank essentially suiciding, then complaining when the DD tells him to stop suiciding. I should hope you're mature enough to realize that the tank in the OP is pretty much in the wrong.

There are two types of talk I have faced in a dungeon: #1 Telling me how to play a tank; #2 How to play the dungeon.

I fully welcome the latter since I may have cleared most dungeons in the game but it does not make me all knowing.

However, I simply cannot tollerate people telling me how to play my tank. If I missed something, sure. But if you tell me "Oh, use your Halone combo"; well, NO SHIT!

^ You are the man, wholeheartedly agree.
