Why do they try to make tanking harder?

I hate it when people say things like this:

DPS pulling off of you in low level dungeons is not a big deal.

You're probably not using Flash often enough, aren't marking targets, or aren't switching targets often enough.

Important part about tanking is maintaining pace in dungeons. If you're too slow then you may be incompatible with your party members, which leads to things like DPS pulling in front of you.

Letting your party die is just proving to them how bad of a tank you are.

Why do people always do this? Op clearly stated not attacking the same target and pulling hate before hand while away from the centralization of the group.

YET, you seem to deem it appropriate to blame him/her for the mistakes of others. Try taking a tank with low level gear and keep agro from a blm in full myth and see how you do.

It's also clear the op knows how to allow a tank to tank, clearly derived by their description of first hand problems.

Have people forgotten why people use roulette?

Nothing in his original post indicates to me that he knew what he was talking about, at all. Hes obviously new to tanking, and is complaining about aggro in early low level dungeons/hests, where it does not matter at all.

Then you did not read. Simple as that.

New? So what. They get the basics.

Doesn't matter at all? Let's just pretend that wasn't said.

this is not true,if people cant care enough to calm down and let the aggro build up at lower levels,whats going to change that at higher levels?


off topic: what do commendations do, I usually get 1-3 a hest or run but I do not know what they are

What will change is your gear, your abilities, and hopefully your skill and knowledge of rotations. It is much harder for DPS to pull off of you as you level up. Even a perfectly played tank will lose aggro in low level dungeons, and that is fine, because nobody should be dying and you should be getting done with the dungeon quicker. After Haukke Manor, when you begin Brayflox/Qarn, the problem will solve itself. Before Haukke Manor, people just want to get in and out quickly. The damage DPS takes from mobs is perfectly healable.

Commendations give you vanity rewards.
