How do you deal with sluggish tanks?

You are harrassing people by being a noob and pulling at the speed of a snail, if anyone can be reported it's the tank ruining everyone elses time, not the other way around.

Wow... That is attitude is just... Wow. Apparently being new at something and taking your time is now a form of harassment. Let me guess, you believe a new employee at a job who isn't moving at full speed is harassing the other employees, too? I will never understand the utter lack of patience and understanding from a lot of gamers. It's like a bunch of children throwing temper tantrums. I honestly pity people like that. Everyone was new once and everyone had to learn. Why people can't understand that is beyond me. Complete lack of empathy.

And for the most part (there's always exceptions), if someone is moving slower it isn't because they're trying to be malicious. It's what they're comfortable with.

I don't agree with the harassment part but first of all people know when someone is new to a dungeon. That said even being new isn't really an excuse, the only thing of note is boss tactics which a tank would be asking about and would be known why there is waiting. For trash though, by the time people are in 50+ dungeons, and especially ex roulette there's no need to not go from pack to pack at a steady pace. The bosses in both those dungeons are a joke do we really need full mp/tp stoneskin, all cooldowns and ready check? no. It really does such watching aethertrail count down because the tank can't manage to pull the next pack that's 5 feet away in 30 seconds.

I don't feel particularly comfortable in a dungeon until I've tanked it 3-4 times. I also don't particularly LIKE doing speedrun pulls. I find them too hectic and not enjoyable. Would rather pull 1-3 packs max if possible. Thankfully most of the Heavensward dungeons are setup to do exactly that: 1-3 packs max.

Also, unless the tank says it, you DON'T know if they are new to tanking a dungeon. I'm a DRG main, but I definitely go at a slower pace when tanking a dungeon for the first couple of times until I feel comfortable gauging how much damage each of the packs do, most efficient targets to kill first, what to save stun for etc. I get some of that from observation as a DRG, but nothing quite like experience to start feeling comfortable with it. It's not my primary role, and I haven't had 9+ months of experience playing my DRK like I do my DRG, so I'd rather pull smaller and safer than cause wipes due to "growing pains."

I mean that's not harassment, that's a player playing the game at the speed they are comfortable with. Tanks are already in short supply, so especially when a tank is new to a dungeon or whatever, it's best to let them get the hang of things or we will have even fewer tanks. No tank pulls slowly forever unless the other players are harassing them, which happens quite frequently. Decent tanks and healers get harassed constantly in every game I have ever played for every little thing, and it's completely unnecessary. So your AT stacks, Enochian, GL3 fell off. Big deal, you can handle it. It'll come back. And this is coming from someone who's basically a career DPS in this game.

If the tank is a noob to that dungeon, entirely possible their gear isn't high enough lvl to pull multiple groups of mobs. Also how the hell is it harassment? If you want to go down that road, you could then say that the players who bring bad dps to the dungeon are harassing as well. Can guarantee that will go down absolutely brilliantly/s
