Tank Stance

[addz3]

Do you plan to respond to the plethora of other ways I pointed out your stupidity or literally just nitpick one misspelled word?

Oh wait that could add value and substance and clearly you're devoid of both of those.

My bad, carry on.

My plan was to use ridiculous word play to point out your mistake much like you did mine.

Tbh lets just end this thread, my original intent was to express an opinion based through experience and frustration regarding tanks that prioritise dps over enmity regardless and irrelevant of what other group members did or did not do. Way to much assumption has been made which caused me to comment on one of your posts. I have no real problem with you carry on with whatever you do. Let those tanks who masquerade as dps carry on. I've lost interest in my op as things have escalated to a level which I hadn't foreseen. If I'm guilty of not reading your posts fully then so be it, likewise I think your guilty of misunderstanding mine.

I don't know if guilt is necessarily the correct term but fair enough. I would be happy to see it closed as well \o/

I mean, you said "nerf the shit out of" the only thing that makes tanking remotely interesting. What kind of reaction did you expect? Lol
(Though I'll be honest 14 pages surprises me)

IMO, as a long time (mostly) tank main, there's no reason to let the party get cleaved or take aggro unnecessarily. Especially as a warrior, there's plenty of tools to get threat back. The only real way a decent warrior is going to be at risk of losing aggro is if they pulled in deliverance without a ninja. Unchained>Tomahawk>Equilibrium>Storm's Eye combo is the standard opener and more than enough to solidify threat on a boss before getting into IR burst. Anything trickier should be reserved for static group play, not to be expected in random DF/PF pugs.

At the end of the day this stuff happens. I've seen plenty of bad tanks, bad dps, bad healers in the nearly 5 years I've been playing the game, and I can probably count on one hand the number of times that's actually prevented a dungeon clear (raiding is different of course).. But I'm the type that would rather avoid confrontation so I just let it go and carry on about my business. The chances of running into the same person again are pretty slim.
