Tanks, please use buffs

[Altena]

Try to give tips if your a mentor just remember, you can't give advice if you don't have that job at a respectable level or maxed out.

Sorry but the "different playstyle" argument is just not an excuse for not rotating CDs.

This thread was actually triggered by doing a DR:Exp, with a DRK who was a mentor.
I also did say something as we hit the 1st boss.

[2:54](Altena Trife) please use more buffs other than Anticipation
[2:54](Altena Trife) Rampart Convalescence
[2:54](Altena Trife) Shadow Wall
[2:54](Altena Trife) any should suffice.

That didn't change anything. They still didn't use buffs (except for Anticipation).

In some cases people bite the bullet, unless you want to waste time kicking, waiting, or run the risk of getting kicked specially near the end. So unless you want to start your group with a tank you trust , your going to have to deal with random :/ sucks I know. y contacts usually give me a call and I tank for them if I'm free just to get most things done for the day at a minimum, if you have a FC they should be able to help...hopefully.

Well I mean I am not about to ragequit the duty or votekick for it. I am just calling it out as horrible play, and those that don't use buffs should learn to use them.
They just won't get my comm. Same situation if the healer doesn't nuke or the DPS use single target rotations on AoE pulls.

I am not new to DF queues or anything (lol).
I am just highlighting the importance of rotating CDs to those that don't - if any of those people read this thread.

I know we should always use our cds, but, maybe I got so much into the pull everything mentality by the end of HW that nowadays whenever I pull 2 or 3 mobs, it seems like its such a small amount of mobs, that sometimes my bain considers it to be a waste of a cd and I end up forgeting about it xD i KNOW its wrong and not a waste but it happens =/

Well I mean I played a WAR "main" through the entirety of HW as well..
I am not going to jump down your throat if you "forget" during the odd pull or anything.. But if you pop Rampart only twice during the whole dungeon... Yeah you won't get my comm.

to be fair drk has the worse df cool down kit of all the tanks, I honestly dont understand how SE thought this was acceptable. The blackestnight isnt even that great on big pulls, like it really makes me made that anticipation and awareness are literally embedded in drk for cool downs instead of them having their own. Also drk doesnt even get the blackestnight until level 70 its a df cool down why is it our top skill I know to fit with the story but come on. Also it takes so much mp that on trash if your a drk whom uses ur aoe it takes away from damage you could be doing. So pretty much rampart, antipation, awareness , conv, four cross roll skills are like your main abilties for df cool downs horrible game design in my opinion. Shadow wall is 3 mins long while vengance is only 2 and has an extra effect, living dead is a ehh I dont really wana use to much ability in dungeons its wanky. And dark dance while great for tank busters in raids is horrible in dungeons where you fight machines and trash mobs of machines. I just dont understand why drk has such horrible df cool downs makes no sense and also the blackest night only last 5 seconds cant tell you how many times Ive used and it didnt even pop on trash or a dungeon boss .
