    If they pull the boss even when I typed "brb", or "wait a sec please" Then yes.



    I know what my job is as a tank, which is why I personally have an issue with DPS trying to tank for me. There is no Ego, nothing is being spun, Im the Tank, let me do my job and tank. Its that simple. What is the point of me being a tank if a dps is gonna do it for me? Its not revenge either, they decide they want to be tank, ill let them be tank; similar to when a 2nd tank sees that Im trying to be Main tank, but then they completely steal aggro off of me and take my job. Call it petty, yes, and Ill 100% admit Im aware Im being petty. I wont hide it.
    And Its just as petty to say Im being to slow, and call me a bad tank or a Griefer for not moving at the speed and level that the DPS wants me to.



    I was doing my job. But then somebody else decides they are a better tank and dont have time for me to tank, and do it themselves.
    Im not gonna fight somebody who wants it that much more then me that they will take my job. Just wait a second or 2 for me to grab the enemies, and then Ill get the other enemies and do the Wall-to-wall Im expected to do. If im not fast enough, then by all means, take over.
    If im just gonna be called a bad tank for not being as fast as they want me to be. Cool, Ill just stick to healing



    Like I said a few times..I know what my job is as a Tank. If a dps decides to run ahead and do it themselves. Thats on them, Ill let them do it. Call it petty, because it is. I wont lie about it. Im trying to tank, let me tank. Dont take my job and then call me a bad tank for not letting me tank.

    Same goes for a healer, if they wanna run ahead and try to take my job, more power to them.
    Just wait a second for me to get going. Just because Im max level, doesnt mean I have the same skill ceiling or are as fast as others.
    Sorry on mobile, but letting the healer die will result in throwing the two other players under the bus. That point it is a numbers game why punish two others just to prove a point against one. I get for you pulling is not fair towards you but that is a 1:1 normally if a dps does it. If a healer does it you are putting 2 others in the crossfire and wasting their time which is extremely unfair.

    Does not seem legit does it?

    It simply wouldn't happen if the Healer didnt run ahead and pull the other mobs for me.
    If they are just doing their job and healing, then its not their fault if they pull aggro as we get to the next Mob. Its one thing if they generated aggro from healing, its another thing to literally run ahead and attack to pull the other groups.

    Sorry man I still do not get it if the healer runs ahead and pulls extra mobs and people are already using their AoE you as a tank you would have to physically stop using your AoE combo and maybe even drop aggro to teach said healer a lesson. At that point you are actively screwing over the dps for not having the same foresight to stop attacking or to single target the mobs you are
    Fighting. So at that point in this theoretical situation if the healer dies and the dps die because all they were doing was using AoE. You might still be alive due to lack of aggro on the other mobs but now your party is dead because you wanted to teach someone a lesson. Yet that lesson also caused two others who were only guilty of using AoE.

    Does that really seem fair?
