    Go tank and don't speed run then. I just started tanking when dark knight came and I didn't do any speed runs while leveling. No one said a word about it. If they did, I would have just ignored them. You are the tank. You get to control the pace.

    I really don't understand the complaint. If you are tanking, why are you pulling more than you can handle and then complaining about it? Ignore trolls and do it your way.

    My issue has been DPS (and the occasional healer) pulling mobs on their own.

    If they do that, just let them die, and be like "oh I thought you wanted to tank since you were pulling".


    But personally as a Tank I dont mind speed runs IF I see that people are geared enough and that we have good AOE DPS in the group.

    I mean if I you get Brayflox in High Duty roulette, with 2 BLM and/or SMN, nothing wrong with a 10 min run for the quick and easy law, not to mention an easy 3 commends.

    Tanking is a job, DPSing is a science and Healing is an art.
    If the Tank dies, it's the Healer's fault. If the Healer dies, it's the Tank's fault. If the DPS dies, it's their own damn fault.

    I just let them die if they are pulling intentionally and not just standing too far out and getting aggro from wandering mobs. I'm kind of an ahole though. I've also been letting MCHs tank if they use that skill to push mobs away from the group. Those are the two things that annoy me. I've actually found it interesting that none of these people have said anything after I do that.
