Entitled DPS, please stop being entitled

seriously, people simply arguing about: tank must do what the other want! pull what they want! how they want! and stuff like this is craps.... i will be blunt a good tank will know what he can or cannot do. the tank role ask for more than what other role ask.

as tank you must:
- understand the limit of your group, for this you must have a good understanding of the strong side and weakness of each class.
it recquire to immediatly understand how well the group is equiped, if the group know well them class, if they know the dungeon,.... if they are a bit lacking in terms of equipement you will need to watch what you pull and how you do it. if they don't know, take time to explain the boss or put symbol for indicate the order the monster must be killed. an important point that a looooot of tank ignore and simply don't give a.... it's about the composition of the group, if you have a melee in the group, know how turn the monster and how place them for make them jobs easier.

- you must pay attention of what do the group, it means, how the healer use him mana, how the dps use them skill for decide the pace of the pulling.
if the healer don't pay attention to him mana you must be carefull, if the dps are using aoe on group of 2 monster, you either talk with them or pull more.... simply because it's stupid to let them waste ressource and do crappy dps.

- you must know your own role and limit. it means know what it means to be tank... what you can or cannot endure, since the role of a tank is not simply pull and keep the hate, but more survive while holding the aggro. it recquire too, to know the dungeon, the monster with them gimmick, what must be avoid, where you have patrol, where use your CD, your own cycle.

all of that for said, tank have a hell of jobs on them hand, people say that they mustn't be the leader....fine, you simply want to turn the tank into a pet that are there for keep the aggro of the monster, it's kinda rude. take the role of leader from the tank and they are not different than titan-egi.

finally, if you want to decide what will be killed in the dungeon ask, but it don't means the tank will submit and do what you want too... because it's him right to refuse. oh by the way, when you do a df, a clean sweep is not mandatory, when you df, the goal is to do the dungeon, not kill everything inside.

ps: if you get with bad tank, most of the time, is maybe because the good tank are tired to be treated like a pet, when the good tank take a lot of pride into mastering the class and know everything they need to know. if the tank class are the less represented is not without reason... not everyone is means to be tank. keep that in mind.

pss: a lot of people spiting on tank here, must have little to no knowledge of what it means to be tank and maybe they need to try to be tank for more than 10-20 dungeon.... you will fast understand the point to leave the lead to the tank. it can be painfull to be strip of this as tank... and make the experience the most horrible.
