Entitled DPS, please stop being entitled

DF tank is the lead.... that must'nt be changed.

No worries it wont be changed because it's not the reality. Tank is as much the lead as the healer or DPS, team effort in team based gameplay I know it's hard when you feel entitled because of your overall required presence.

Shame that DF itself is the cause of most of this attitude being so prevalent. Used to be if you were a knob in party content you would wind up blackballed by people who actually want to play the game, tank or not you would have a hard time worming your way into group content because you actually had to live with the social repurcussions of being a jerk.

i will be blunt, try to do a dungeon where the lead is not the tank, please try and be the tank!
it's painfull, you are simply repeat your oversimplified cycle and can't even decide on what you gonna hit first, since someone point you what you must pull or stuff like this.

indeed dungeon are teamwork, but each role have a jobs.... the dps have more complexe cycle and tool for burn down the monster as fast as possible while avoiding useless damage
healer must heal the tank and make sure the team survive while be carefull for themself.
the tank is the lead into this, he will be the one to decide if he can or cannot pull more or less. the one to know when he can or must use a Cooldown that will lessen the burden on the healer.

we can argue all the day about this, but even in a team you need a leader, why? because if you don't have a leader everyone will go wherever they want while doing whatever they want. you need someone to point where the team must focus them attention and effort. tank are the one that must do it, because they can survive what they gonna pull, not the dps nor the healer.... especially since we have only one provoke with a huge cd.... the game it's make around this! you can try to make the tank look like the bad guys.

but that the reality of the game in dungeon. now that don't means that tank have all right, that a given, but that don't mean that the other have more right than the tank. it's true the other can ask the tank to do something, but it's too the right of the tank to refuse. impose your will to the tank is more rude than a tank ignoring the will of the group. you talk of jerk and stuff.... me i'm talking about respect. that quite different.
