"Huge lack of tanks and healers in the game"

[Sensual]

thank you for tanking and all but you're not special, we can replace you anytime.

It's faster to replace a healer or a DPS than a tank :^)

on the other hand, there's nothing more annoying than an overconfident tank, who think he's a "god" for tanking and everyone should play HIS way or else he quits, no matter how good a tank you are, without a healer and dps, you are nothing. thank you for tanking and all but you're not special, we can replace you anytime.

My momma taught me that all the people's are special.

Yeah I agree. Most of the time a df party fall apart if the tank leave or wait there for 10 to 30 minutes at least the dungeon is popular, but HW is not new anymore ppl (new and returned) rushed thru the content.

It is funny that ppl blame tanks in general to have an attitude, but I bet you that the PERSOn playing as a tank switch to dpa is the DPS now to have an attitude. Ppl with attitude or play badly will yell on others to feel better. I experienced that. I met dps going ad healer and them switching to dps to pretend to be another player. I encounter those ppl in DF parties.

not blaming ALL tanks in DF, but most times, the bossy one with the shitty "i'm better than you" attitude is the tank.

Once again I disagree with u. My main is being a tank (all three tank classes), and every time I say to the healer or DPS to do something like "hey don't cast the tank if he/she is luring" I ll get a reply as don't be a smart ass. Do ppl think I am yelling? That I am saying this aloud and with a sarcastic tone? I speak with the same tone as I do in college with classmates and friends.

Or on another time when I see the DPS wasting a LB I said "don't use LB if the boss is bugged with reduced dmg"the DPS tells me "don't be an azzhole and just tank shit, dick" once again did I use a sarcastic tone? I use logic and knowledge on how to play against the mechanics in this specific game.

I don't even say anything other than Hi and when I see something wrong. Why do I get yelled on and insulted. But when I play as a DPS (I wanna get all my classes to lvl 60) and say the same thing as I did when I was tank now as a DPS I get recomms and thumbs up? Tell me how should I feel about the attitude those ppl give me.

What if...

[Canadane]

Theres no tank shortage.

There IS a shortage of tanks willing to put up with PuGs in the DF though.

This is pretty much it.
I know way too many people who straight up won't tank in DF because they either can't take the pressure of being in a lead role or can't stand the poorer performance found by randoms in a dungeon.
I personally just love tanking, it's my favourite role and I love to have a great time. I don't get upset at the poor performance of others, I mean this isn't savage stuff we're in. But it seems I'm somehow in a minority.

[HolyGlassofWater]

Snip.

I\\\\'m not lumping you in with anybody. I\\\\'m making fun of the fact that I hear that there\\\\'s a lack of tanks and healers in the game when there:s really not, hence the quotes around the title. What you quoted me for saying was merely a joke and seems to be the main reason why a lot of people here thought it was a rage thread. Lighten the hell up people. And I don\\\\'t want to go through the trouble of figuring out how to switch my character just so people can "treat me seriously."

I seriously have to be on my main to have people treat me seriously??? Now that makes YOU look like the asshat. I'm already posting on a previously maxed out tank

I don't DF that often, but it's not necessarily just because of the quality of players in DF. I also know i'm gonna get recruited to run expert or something that day. I use my free time to lvl alts etc instead of my tank, because I know that I will be doing it that night regardless.

Then do.

Oh, wait... that's what this thread is about. People don't want to replace me, they just want me to spread myself thinner, and do it their way.
