"You pull, you tank" is a bad mentality

[Azuri]

Ego has nothing to do with it. It just made tanking an uncomfortable and miserable experience. People who actually support this behavior shouldn't be surprised there aren't more tanks.

You tank a bigger group of mobs in the exact same way as a smaller one. How is one "uncomfortable and miserable experience" while the other is supposedly perfectly ok? Press your AoE button, press your cooldown. That's literally all there is to it.

How does that saying go? Facts don't care about your feelings. Especially if you don't even tank anymore.

What fact would that be? People being inconsiderate douchebags?

Nowadays pulling aggro off of someone is easy, if they make the effort to bring the mob to the tank. I'm not chasing you down if you pull a mob and run off.

But "You pull it, you tank it." was definitely a lot more reasonable back in early days of ARR, when for example PLD only got Shield Oath at 40... So anything before Cutter's Cry you were already fighting an uphill battle for aggro and then when someone goes and pulls extra mid fight it wasn't THAT hard to go "That's your problem."

I don't tank anymore, that was the whole point. It simply wasn't worth it.



This is an absolute garbage mentality.

considering you find tanking miserable because dps/healer pulls before you do I don't think you should comment on how that mentality is garbage lul

Strike a nerve? Opinions exist. Deal with it.

Imagine living in a world where you think your feelings are more important than 3 other people you signed up to run a dungeon with.

Way to deliberately miss the point.

No i get the point. You've admitted you're not a good tank, and that's fine. There's lots of things in this game I'm not very good at. The problem is that you've shifted that blame onto literally everyone around you instead of internalizing it and either moving on with your day or getting better. Sitting in this thread and doing the textual equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and yelling "its everyone's fault but mine" is going to do nothing but make you look foolish. But maybe that's your goal. If so, congratulations.
