As a tank, I dislike one thing only

[LucasB]

I'm a 50 lvl Paladin, and I'm totally a DF runner. I don't have my own group for any kind of raids because I simply don't want to depends on my friends to much so that I can train myself as a Paladin to face all kind of situations.

I watch every video for the next new DF I'm going in and with a little bit of guides from those healer and dps I mostly end up well. Once I got familiar with these DF, if there is any new healer or dps join in I always teach them patiently even defended them against others calling them noob.

I just enjoy every single moment by helping ppl around me since tanker needed almost every situation
BUT NOT UNTIL YESTERDAY

I went to AK with a WHM from my FC.
One of the DPS starting to aggro those adds alone himself while WHM buffing us.

[LucasB]

Maybe most of the tankers encountered this situation before but this is the first time for me. I know I can aggro it back easily but decided not to, same goes to WHM won't heal him. Guess he learned a lesson and only start touching everything after me or else we will stand aside watch him solo everything. And the end of the AK we just dancing together, poking the boss while fighting :-P

Sorry for my broken English.

People dont even wait for me to cast protect anymore, and its usually the tank running off towards the mob. o.O

[LucasB]

But I will :-)

If anything other than the tank pulls, let them die and replace them when they rage quit, then enjoy your run...

this ^

die to all stupid dps who thinks they are hotshot or something

[NeonC]

Yeah let them get wacked, though I am guilty of a feeling out trick. Usually in a mob of 3 I wait till I straight shot and apply wind/venom on primary target then apply them on the second and third. If the tank can not hold that I will try just wind on one other target. I know that + flame arrow can be a little annoying...I guess so I just use that information and adapt accordingly. Moral of the story, give them a pull or two before you start getting salty.

I dont get healers who just stand there and do nothing when everybody is clearly not in the cutscenes anymore. They just stand there for like 10 seconds and only start casting protect the moment I, or any other tank, starts thinking that this healer isnt going to cast any protect at all.

Funnily enough, I do the same thing when I'm playing as a tank. I don't spend time standing around idling however - once a group is dead, I immediately proceed to the next group, and expect the rest to keep up with me. I used to think I was going too fast, but most groups I've gone with have told me that the pacing I've set is fine.

However when I'm playing a BLM, I sleep pull mobs, because I feel my tank is too slow, I find most tanks just stand around looking at a mob group. So I get impatient and sleep pull them... >.<

It is an established fact that the passages of times varies according to the role you are playing. For DDs, time is always going at snail pace. For tanks, everything happens so fast they don't see a thing. Healers... I dunno. They are lost in a limbo or something.
