Tank asked BLM to "mark and sleep"? Is this normal?

Outside of gating mobs outside of a boss room, crowd control is for wusses.

REAL tanks tell their BLM to pop Raging Strikes AoE the shit out of everything, to which the BLM obliges. And the WHM joins in.

Which obviously means that WARs are the only real tanks. Flash spam ain't gonna cut it on BLM Flare chaining, but SC and Overpower are more than enough. :3

Yes, exactly!

We already know who the real tanks are, though. Paladins stop taking damage by popping Hallowed Ground. Warriors stop taking damage by killing all the things that were dealing damage to them.

This is why things like Sleep are useless with a WAR around, I'd question the sanity of any that asked me to Sleep something because I know they will just hit Overpower right after anyway.

Wrong.

I would Tomahawk it first, just to show you that I actually wanted to wake up the mob. Then I would Overpower it.
