Discussion on tanking

It's not always impatience. Some jobs have buffs or stacks that need time to ramp up. If we wait too long between pulls, those stacks fall off and our attacks lose potency and need to be built back up again.

It doesn't take all that long to build up stacks of Greased Lightning, after all it is designed to be self-perpetuating. I do agree that having all your stacks fall off all at once is kinda lame. It should drop one stack at a time. That being said though, if you feel like keeping your stacks is worth risking getting overwhelmed then have fun with that.

Nah if a monk is running ahead of me to keep his stacks, more power to him. I'll probably even comm him in the end because he knows his job and knows its priorities.
It's also a sign that I'm going too slow as a tank lol.

Too many people think the tank has to pull, when in fact all the tank has to do is hold things and do damage to them while not dying.
Just because the tank isn't the first one to hit the thing doesn't mean the tank is unable to complete their role. Maximum damage while holding things and not dying.
