I don't want to tank dungeons anymore...

[Suirieko]

If you're queuing solo on EX Roulette, guess what? Chances are you're going to be paired up with fresh 60 players, first timers, laggers/dcers, drunks/stoners or people who just want to take it slow and easy; deal with it or make some friends who would be happy to do things your way.

Your self-entitlement to the perfect quartet of apocalypse is forfeit the moment you queue alone and uninsured.

If they are new, sure, that's fine. But that guy doesn't appear to be new, and even if he is, I merely gave him the reality of Neverreap/Fractal. Everyone does these dungeons many many many times. At certain point, there's nto a single experienced soul that wants to do Neverreap slow paced by the time they've done it the 100th time.

I've been tanking for years now and honestly, I hate people like Evangela or Fourbestintoner. You have no idea what a serious mess it is for a tank to get the aggro back from your pulls and the stress it is for a tank to reposition the mobs for you to avoid easily any AOE... Then again, I dont mind doing a speed run as long I'm fully aware of what kind of healer or DPS I'm teaming with. People like them think like they are all high and mighty because they do High lvl stuffs with their FC. They believe that people must just follow what they say but never considered what others feel. Whether the others agree or not, they dont care : they have to much ego to consider others... As for me, I dont trust a random group as long I havent tested them on a first batch of mobs. Then I decide if I speed up or not. You wanna pull ? sure ! tank it in the same time, I have no remorse to quit and queue up again, since people who respect others deserve my time and efforts.

Summoner's current abilities (Bane, Painflare, darkflare, Miasma II, and Deathflare) makes it very easy for them to deal with crowd rather efficiently. Any Summoners that know what to do can very easily handle massive pulls. Whenever I see a tank that slows very pull, I will usually say something like. "Just so you know, I am a summoner, and we are very good at killing lots of trash mobs at once. Feel free to pull more, it will make this go much faster."

lol. Do you think FFXIV is your safe space? What gives you the right to think you're the leader? It's all the damage mitigation and healing ability you have, right? Sorry, but DPS is literally the worst class in the game. You're just gonna have to face this doggy dog world. For all intensive purposes DPS are a diamond dozen. I have zero taller ants when it comes to DPS being a bunch of pre-Madonnas when their class can literally do nothing other than push buttons with no care in the world. Playing a DPS is a peach of cake.

Sure, DPS maybe a dime a dozen, but I've experienced far more tanks that acted like high and mighty divas, that leaves instantly when they're not satisfied with things.

For example. Tanks be like...

Did someone just AFK'd? lol better leave.
Did we wipe because the whm couldn't keep me alive? lol better leave.
Not killing the boss fast enough? lol better leave.
Someone wearing low leveled gears? Wow what a noob, lol better leave.

The bottomline is, because tanks are very rare compared to healing and damage dealers, that most act very entitled than anyone else. "Don't like the way things work? Lol we're very rare, I'll just leave. 30 minutes penalty be damned."

We, damage dealers, are so tired of doing the same dungeons over, and over, and over, just for the sake of Tomestone of Esoterics, or whatever the current weekly capped tomestones are, that we just want to get it over with so we can move on to something else, that's possibly more fun. It's just that, Expert roulette is really the fastest way to get your weekly tomestones capped for the week. We're not being divas, we're not being madonnas, we just want to get things overwith because we're tired, and we're far more understanding if there's a presence of a newbie tank or even newbie healer, (which is fairly rare IMO), and in those cases, it'll be understanding and we'll be more than happy to help. At least that's my approach to things.

A good tank knows how much the party can handle, and pull trash mobs size based on that. Not pull based on the preference.I mean, after all, it IS About team work. Check who you got in the party, and if you feel confident, go all wild. It might actually be fun and fast.

After all, no one wants an hour-long Neverreap.
