Pulling the bosses In dungeons as DPS a thing now?

I think it should be of note, tone. Passive aggressive arguing will tick people off more than outright jerkery. "Please don't pull for me." speaks loud and true. You set the expectation of the pace, and maybe people will listen.

I definitely say things like that, sometimes without the please if I'm particularly cheesed off. They always assume they can do no wrong and that I'm "getting mad even though no one died" or whatever their excuse usually is.

I don't even know where this poor tanking attitude came from. You're really a dime a dozen role. You get kicked and someone else will come in and do you're job just as well. (Maybe better) And yes, same thing is said about dps and healer roles also. But that's the point, you're not special for playing tank, and the group shouldn't have to treat you otherwise.

Some of you are actually acting like you are doing the world a favor for tanking.


Reality is as a tank, just grab the dang aggro. It's not hard, and if your dps is doing it for you then just say to them to please don't. You're not helping the group by throwing a hissy fit at the dps.

Honestly, I really only see Dps pull bosses which I have zero issues with. It's really only healers that seem to pull extra mobs because I'm not pulling enough. Which since they are my life line, is fair game. :P

That's not what people were saying before GNB. Tanks run ahead. Tanks pull the boss. It's 2 year old putting shape blocks down logic. If a tank isn't pulling. DPS need to be working on making the current mob die faster.

DPS pulling dungeon bosses was possibly more of a problem (if there was one) before 5.0 where tanks wanted to establish that initial aggro lead before dropping tank stance. These days, for dungeon bosses, with the new enmity rules, it's not a horrible breakdown in team play.

In the chat the group accused the tank of feeding, and there's a pretty good case to make for it.
