Healers losing popularity?

[necrosis]

I got this one run in Longstop (Hard).

War tank. In a good 4 atma books worth of tomes this tank was the very first to stop at the **TOP** of the ramp. No tank I have ever had before did that. WE wiped because I did not know he was going that far. Had Seal popped in prep to stop at the **BOTTOM** of the ramp and start spamming C2, M2, ect. But Seal was basically gone once I found out WTF was going on and where he stopped. "L2P" rants started. Not to mention the tank bolted off before even protect was done (This is getting more and more common. I don't even bother with stoneskin anymore).

So basically OP. Zero sympathy. Come level WHM and see what crap we get. Tanks are the biggest, most arrogant pricks in the game. With your bailing before CS's are done. Bailing when someone says they are new. Bailing because it was taking longer than 10 min to clear a zone. Hell bailing whenever you want because of your 2 second invites... wahhhhhh cry me a river OP.

Please, don't generalize all bec of a few bad apples.. I myself do all jobs, and it all comes down to proper communication. if there is none, and there is wipes, then people need to ask themselves "what's going on?" instead of "you suck"

You are pro healer? fine, you can 'suggest' direction to those that you see have some lack of grasping the concepts.

I am by no way defending arrogant people, no matter the class: just don't, put them all in one basket.

Have fun! ^^

Honestly, this perfectly describes most (not all, but most) of the tanks I see as well. Sorry, tanks, but this is the unfortunate majority of people playing your role.

Dang my friend on Famfrit wants me to change server and join them.. *scared now..

I prefer to be on the minority then. It's the person behind the screen that makes a difference, not the class/job.

Just like in real life, not because you are a policeman, that it gives you the authority to be a smart ass and prick on people because you know they need you.

Well, you have to remember though, when we join a DF, it's not just Famfrit (or whatever world you're on) you're partied with. You will get people from any number of servers.

And I agree with you, it is the person that makes the difference. Unfortunately, I think a lot of people let this "tank power" get to their head, much like policemen that use their power to be asses.

I find it is common practice to pull the mobs up the ramp and around the corner at the little river.
Tanks do this, because the Gobmashine or what it is called will not bomb you there.

I do this when tanking and see tanks doing it when i heal.

It is a smart move, that you did not know - no AE to dodge, except for the one the mobs do.

Of course, this does not justify them throwing rants at you - but actually imo you did the mistake not the tank.

Just to clarify why I think he pulled them up.

[givemeraptors]

but actually imo you did the mistake not the tank.

Still the tank's fault. He should be communicating his strategy. I hate when tanks have a strat in mind and don't announce it. Not everyone may be familiar with the method. Sac, exceptionally large SR pulls (WP and Bray HM can be SR in very different ways), positioning quirks. And who knows, your healer may be drunk/tired/chilled out. I did a Stone Vigil a few weeks ago with a drunk healer, thank goodness I was a MNK because if I were the tank I would have been so stressed.

Like I said in the OP, I have a scholar. It's generally assumed that tanks and healers get yelled at the most in groups but thanks to my divine luck, I haven't really seen excess hate speech directed towards me on my warrior or healer. Although I was called asswipe this one time on my sch by a dps, I can't really remember why though

If this is how you act towards me on the forums where I did not say nor do anything to you, I would hate to be in a group with you
