Pulling the bosses In dungeons as DPS a thing now?

[Shurrikhan]

I think this boils down to one thing, as others have said before: DPS arrogance.

Why? Because unless the dps is managing the tank's cooldowns and knows the tank's gear and the healer's gear.

Except, I do examine gear at the start of the dungeon, and do track my party's cooldowns, including remembering my tank's CD scheduling and my healer's oGCD habits. The habit probably comes, from, idk, having one healer main character and another tank main character?

Just because someone swaps over to a different job toolkit doesn't mean they suddenly lose the player skillsets they had before. I better know how to tank because I also dps and heal. I better know how to heal because I also tank and can track when DPS AoE burst will be ready and when focus targeting in a 3-4 mob situation will better suit mine and my tank's needs. And I better know how to DPS because I know tank CD and pull habits, and which mob special attacks are worth stunning for positioning or mitigation. If all goes well, minimal attention is required, because each role allows the others to perform in its optimal range.

But, competent tanking includes being able to gauge what your party is capable of and meeting its maxima as to allow that better and far more straightforward performance. It wouldn't just be a matter of miscommunication if we could easily full-pull but I, the tank, won't. It'd be a failing on my part. It'd be me not properly performing my role. That's why you have DPS a little peeved when they have to communicate a tank's job to them, just as a tank would be peeved when a DPS is clearly not rotating correctly or blows CDs at the end of one small trash pack right before another full pull. If it's not a job the tank is willing to take on, then why should they feel insulted when a DPS does?
