Light party Gladiator, best way to pick up adds without running the boss everywhere?

Tell the healer to stand near the boss, then just pull the adds off the healer.

It's easier to solve an add related problem when you've done the dungeon once before, since you'll know when and where they spawn so you won't have to do any on-the-fly stuff.

this is good, logical mid-level advice. it sounds "lazy" to "blame" the rest of your party, but tbh everyone standing within aoe aggro range if they think theyre going to pull aggro is best for everyone, even if the same sort of dps that don't believe in quelling strikes or use single target max dps rotations when you're pulling multiple mobs don't like to listen. One of the biggest problems with clean, efficient dungeon runs in this game is dps believing aggro is strictly the tanks responsibility and that they don't have any responsibility in burning adds or choosing logical targets.

ironically, as a low level player in low level dungeons(and even at 60 if you run with randoms) you will never make everyone happy with your style of tanking no matter what you do. So just do your best, be vocal about being new and learning the ropes, and try to mark targets so the single target herpaderps at least cant rage about you messing with their l337 single target deeps.

ps: try to grow a thick skin, and I really hope you aren't discouraged. I so often hear dps praise my healer for "keeping that crazy tank alive". but the few, few, few and far between situations where the healer is humble enough to admit that they're barely healing because the tank is using their CD's spot-on make it all worth it.
