I'm getting more sour ...

[Galactimus]

I've never run into a single party problem Tanking as Paladin from 2.0 to 3.0. Compliments, commendations, the usual. However, ever since this "inferior Paladin" meta began people are a lot more vocal. Even when nothing goes wrong they feel the need to voice their strange opinions. Some recent happenings:


DRG: "Why are you in Sword Oath (Expert Roulette bosses)? SMH. Now watch as I pull hate." -Never lost hate

BRD: "Why are you wearing full Slaying / Penta-Melded Slaying accessories? SMH." -Never dropped below 50% HP. Did more DPS than BRD.

AST: "Stop standing at the edge; you'll be knocked off!" -Nothing happens (Tempered Will / Hallowed Ground). BRD falls off.

NIN: "Pulled four bee's. LOL. GG." -Nothing happens on Final Stings (Dancing between Shield Swipe / Shield Bash)

DRK: "LOL PLD in Alex Savage" -Finds out I'm two turns ahead of him


Calm down. Relax. Deep breaths. I'm not going to let you die just because you've got an "lolPld" bible in your pocket. Maybe...

Take my like. As a PLD main myself, I approve of this post. It's sad to see that the one thing I feared most about introducing a 3rd tank to the line up has come true though. The "lolPLD" hate is getting a bit out of hand these days.

As for the thread topic itself, I too am sadly becoming more sour (if that's even possible considering the stance I already had on MMO communities before I even joined this game) over time. As the first reply to this thread even says... while I'd like to be a Knight in Shining Armor... I've become more of a Knight in Sour Armor instead. (lol, them TV trope links) I still Tank because DF is absurdly low on willing players to Tank in DF, but again, I can't blame Tank players for avoiding DF like the plague either.
