About: Dungeon "anxiety", Being afraid of failing or getting back into the game

[Wynn_Storm]

I never understood why people get so nervous about running dungeons.

I know people clearly have anxiety, but its not a high-stakes scenario.

But honestly when you do dungeons with randoms the worst that can happen is that they will kick you. If they say bad stuff to you, report for harassment.

But i can understand the idea of getting nervous when tanking or healing.

When tanking you have the job of staying alive, while also maintaining aggro. If you die and your healer or SMN/RDM isn't quick enough to rez you it can cause a wipe. And i can understand that being scary since you dying caused this.

With healing its kind of the same deal, keep the tank and group alive. You can't keep tank alive, its a wipe.

But there are more factors to it. Was the tank popping defensives during big pulls? No? Then it was the tank's fault for not doing so.

Was the healer dpsing too much and didn't use oGCD's to help keep the tank alive? Then its the healer's fault.

I think people are too hard on themselves. If your healer is a legit potato then its not your fault if you can't stay alive.

If your tank is using wet paper for armor, then its not your fault you couldn't keep them alive.
