    does any other tank here like making healers work hard?

    i main a tank and played a healer too. i found when i am a healer and the tank does small or medium pulls i am bored because it is so easy that i literally am just standing there dpsing instead. when i tank i pull big and the healer is pushing to keep us alive. if a healer can keep up i give them a comm.

    Usually when I start a dungeon it's a healer demanding at the start that i pull everything.

    Don't think even big pulls can truly make a healer work hard not in these dungeons.

    Not even the biggest pulls truly makes a healer work hard. At most it'll be the first time they actually have to heal instead of DPS and throw up a regen every 20 secs.

    Dungeons are generally just too easy.

    Once I had a PLD who tanked Charibert in Sword Oath and popped ZERO cooldowns. I think they wanted me to work hard.

    I don't mind doing full healing with no dpsing but if pulling groups so big that if I stop healing you for a moment you will die, then maybe tank should scale it back little bit cause if run into any lag guess what the tank and the rest of the party is dead then.

    The last couple rounds of expert roulette, even doing full pulls i could literally divine sea,l put two HoTs on tank, top him up with a cure 2 then holy spam till mobs weredead, ssecond group, no divine seal, 3 HoTs. The only way to make a healer work hard to heal is not using CDs, standing in aoes, but if they are dpsing why would you slow down the run by removing the healer dps? Now as a tank if i see a healer being lazy or just standing around or spamming cure when i don't need it, yeah I'll stop using CDs and avoiding aoes

    Boring the healer into dpsing is the entire goal of any good tank in a four-man dungeon. The ones that don't don't actually know how to mitigate damage-- you know, "tank".

    If it's that bad, the tank is either in bad gear and shouldn't be making these types of pulls or doesn't know that CDs is what makes a tank a tank.
