Is it wrong to run Castrum Abania as a tank at ilvl 272

Oh yea, those 15k tankbusters are brutal.



This is a massive assumption that people can't adjust strategies. No dungeon has to be speed run with wall-to-wall pulls by tanks in DPS Stance if the group can't actually handle it. This comment also glosses over the obvious fact that even people who are "appropriately" geared can still make incredible mistakes that prevent duty completion.

Look at the story by the TC, where assuming on my part? You are the one on assumptions. The healer was clearly not skilled and was not ready for a tank wearing gimp gear, this is EXACTLY what we are saying in why you do not enter here in i270 gear as a tank. You and Fynlar have issues with considering the other 3 people in your pug.

yes it is, your post did nothing to show logical argument that should suggest otherwise.

Not sure what TC is, maybe the same as OP? Either way, I suggest you go back and read it yourself. Didn't see anything pertaining to an incapable healer. More like they just refused to do their job.

I have mained tank since the release of ARR i know my role well and i'd like to think im a decent tank and person. When i entered Castrum Abania on my lvl 69 drk ilvl 272 as a leveling roulette queue i was nothing but disrespected by the healer and dps. One of the dps was of similar item level as me. We plowed our way to the final boss i tried to just keep to myself so i could get the dungeon done because as any roulette runner knows we do them to get things done for exp and tomes, not to sit around all day.

When we got to the final boss we wiped 3 times because 1. The dps were not killing the hand adds that latched onto the healer and thus the healer could not heal me, and 2. The healer kept getting hit by almost every aoe i saw. Sure i was getting hit a bit hard but 10 ilvl difference between end game gears surely doesn't make it sooo terrible that it warrants harassing me over it and then blaming me for their own shortcomings in terms of doing the mechanics right?

1. We have missing information here, it is likely though, they where talking about the gear issue throughout the dungeon, hence " i was nothing but disrespected by the healer and dps." Well that is because entering this place as a i272 tank is disrespectful and they where objecting to it, and fully right to do so.

2.Sure i was getting hit a bit hard but 10 ilvl difference between end game gears surely doesn't make it sooo terrible that it warrants harassing me over it and then blaming me for their own shortcomings in terms of doing the mechanics right?

"harassment" is a prospective point. We do not know what was going on for this "harassment" Some people over exaggerate what constitutes as harassment. I said this earlier in the thread, the group was in the wrong for failing mechanics, but so is "I am a veteran of this game and i know how to play and whats fair and whats not IN MY OWN OPINION, but i guess i am coming to the forums to look for a little reassurance and get other peoples views on this situation as well. "

clearly they do not know what is fair if they think entering this place as a 272 tank is fair and "10 ilvl difference between end game gears surely doesn't make it sooo terrible that it warrants harassing me over it and then blaming me for their own shortcomings in terms of doing the mechanics right?"

also misuses what "endgame gear" is 282 is not "endgame gear" even back in 4.0, the first expert dropped i300.


So back to the point that you did not comment on I guess?:
