"You pull, you tank" is a bad mentality

[technole]

I pull ahead of Thancred each time wall-to-wall, bring the mobs to him and he takes all the aggro without the drama. So just think you are being worse than the Scions next time you want to be a DF baddie and say something stupid like that.

thats such a useless discussion. there is ONE way. you have to go down that corridor and kill all mobs anyway. what does it matter who pulls?

Oh sure, the scions will heal Thancred when he w2ws, but not me when I do it.

What happened to talking about things before thrusting your agenda on people?

Every tank has multiple charges of a 20y gap-closer, which allows you to cover more ground than any of those abilities lol. In undertuned leveling dungeons the DPS could just tank the entire dungeon and it wouldn't matter.

Tell me how to gap close ahead of the jobs I listed when I have no enemy to target. There's a reason I specifically listed those three jobs out of them all. I was reminded a smileton run where I never outsped or outran a reaper because of that. Granted, Smileton's mob clusters are fairly close so I was only behind by like, five seconds every time we encountered a pack. Can't say the same for some other instances where clusters are pretty well spaced from one another.

Why is it YPYT is always "petty" or "toxic" behavior, but going ahead and pulling ahead of the tank without discussing it with the party first isn't? The tank may be pulling slowly for a reason. Ask before you take it upon yourself to "help" by bringing extra mobs. Otherwise it's very easy to waste more time on a wipe than you'd have saved with an extra pack of mobs.

The DPS should run with the tank within a few feet , the healer a little behind but it doesn't really matter (think diamond formation) but if you move closely to each other accidental body pulls can be grabbed by a tank faster if your running together . Generally the way we are funnelled along corridors/walkways DPS generally dont have to use their range attacks to help the tank yet they can do

I disagree with your healer position. A wall to wall pull means they'll want to be in position to use their spammable ae, which for healers is point-blank. They don't want to be any further back than the melee dps, if not right on the tank's heels.

If a DPS or healer pulls in front of you as a tank, refusing to grab aggro and watching them die (or not; sometimes the healer or DPS can survive easily) is just petty. It's basically a temper tantrum. It's an "I gotta teach them a lesson" sorta attitude that is frankly kinda cringe.

That's just my opinion! Tanks shouldn't do this!

I made a video about this but the short story is I totally agree with you and I'm saying this as a tank.

Even if you’re slower, sprint out of sync, or slightly behind the speeding dps/healer for whatever reason, it takes an effort to be separated as far as 30 yalms or farther while pulling packs. It takes even more effort to not close that distance purposely.

Those early pullers can take some beating. If they don’t die until you yank the aggro off, nothing will change, everything’s progressing as intended.

My suggestion to those dps/healers that love to pull before tanks is using the trust system.

Another solution is you (itchy finger dps/healer) converting to play tank full time.
