Of Tanking and WoD

[Ophie-Mio]

I've heard some ridiculous stories about tanks trying to out-aggro each other in CT, surely just a myth hopefully.

Though the first run in CT I did as a tank my co-tank and I worked together and the other tanks didn't wanna start nothing, I've seen in previous runs just tanks who are animals towards each other.

The CT pissing contests were not fun to watch because the skeletons for instance are being fought over by two tanks and eventually it dies and blasts raid wide damage. KB is fought over and IG is roaming wild, mowing down healers.

A myth? I wish.

I don't like this strategy due to all the time DPS waste waiting to get small, waiting to get eaten, and waiting to zone in and out. People say it's faster, but it doesn't make any sense to be faster with so much DPS time lost.

We agree to this. I don't notice any difference in terms of how long it takes when I'm standing around with three Wolfsbanes. I only notice that when there are no willing OTs, the wipes become a bit more imminent because adds are left to roam wild.

Personally, I'll see it and take it as a challenge. When that happens, I'll usually have a threat-battle with 'em.
If someone asked me why I do this, I wouldn't really know the answer. By thinking about it for a second, I suppose it's because another tank is probably the only thing that can provide challenging enmity to benchmark against, so it's making me naturally try and see if I can match/beat it, despite the risk involved (spinning the boss, getting us or others cleaved, etc.)

See? Tank pissing contest. Despite the risks, they wanna see who the biggest enmity machine in the room is.
I'm like Misenklauph, if you voke it off me and you have better gear/if you can hold it, I'll let you keep it and I'll go to work on adds. It's the harder, more recognized job in terms of your healers. If you can't hold it, then I'll just shake my head and continue on and tomahawk the adds that they are ignoring while they attempt to steal the boss from me some more.
