    Speaking as a tank, I don't have a problem with some kind of tank training instance but they also need one to teach DPS to attack the marked targets and attack them in the proper order. The number of times I have lost aggro on a mob because a DPS decides to unleash on mob number 3 instead of mob number 1 is ridiculous. Fortunately I pull the aggro back almost immediately. There is a reason I place a big floating number above the mob's head.

    I gave up putting numbers above mobs heads. Its as if the dps blantantly target the mob not marked just to troll the tank .

    I think the main issue is that a good tank will try to save the idiot from dying , whereas if the tank and healer let the guy die he would soon learn ( hopefully ) . Of course if the repair costs were higher they would soon go broke and unable to afford to repair .

    Anyways what I do is attack mob , when dps attack wrong one I will switch to that target . Basically I let the DPS choose the target which is wrong but what can you do right ? Sometimes you just gotta go with the flow just to get things done .
