    If a dps pulls and doesn't die because the healer is on board with it, then your discomfort is unwarranted. Clearly the mobs don't hit very hard. So yes, you should adjust to what your group wants instead of expecting them to adjust to what you want.

    Your skill level is irrelevant to this conversation because tanking dungeons requires you to run forward, press a cooldown and press AoE buttons. The same thing you (hopefully) did in Sastasha.

    Disagree. The DPS shouldn't require being babysat while they walk all over the tank and force the healer to work harder to save them from their suicidal tendencies.

    If tanking was so simple then why do most play DPS? Simple. Tanking isn't easy nor is healing. So most players don't want that responsibility as they know that when a DPS messes up that the Tank and sometimes healer are blamed for not carrying harder.

    You assume a lot while giving the DPS the benefit of the doubt no matter what they do while placing all blame on the tank.

    So you just answered your own question but decided to throw in a useless statement in the middle. "Tanking isn't easy" is a lie. you follow up right after by saying the real reason "So most players don't want that responsibility". It has nothing to do with how hard it is.

    In terms of the actual job itself, your rotation is way easier so you can focus on nothing except keeping aggro and keeping others alive.

    I also want to point out how hilarious it is that you use the argument about "force the healer to work harder" in the forums when there's always a bunch of threads about how healers are bored and have nothing to do but press 1 button.
