"You pull, you tank" is a bad mentality

[ForteNightshade]

It's the Tank.

You know what I do when I'm healing or DPS? I let the Tank dictate the flow.

None of y'all know the Tank's experience level, their cooldown timers, or their situation behind the screen unless you're a premade. Yet you have the audacity to try and dictate how they do their job? Please.

If you want to so badly be the lead then play Tank. We could always use more. Though something tells me that a lot of you complaining about this are not up to par when it comes to that role and would grow easily frustrated if bad DPS decided to pull everything ahead of you then blame you for not compensating for their toxicity.

The game could really benefit by a lot of you DPS learning the tanking Role and doing just that. Maybe you'll gain some empathy and humility too from the experience.

Not to toot my own horn here but I'm a pretty skilled tank and I couldn't care less if the DPS or Healer pulls ahead of me. In fact, I appreciate it because this means the mobs will be lumped together and thus, easier to pick up off them. Regardless, I've said this time and again. If you're so inexperienced as a tank to single pull, don't queue above 50. Even 60 is... tolerable. But if you're single pulling in Holminster Switch, you simply aren't ready to tank at that level yet. So go back and practice like the rest of us did when we were babies. If I can spam ARR dungeons to better prepare myself for big pulls, so can you.

And your Trust clears will always be slower than any player clear even if the Tank is a little slower than what you demand of them.

This is untrue, actually. Trusts can both handle double pulls and will outpace single pulling DF parties. Or at the very least match them. Urianger does incredibly high damage in AoE settings. So much in fact he out-DPSed me, a fully BiS tank, in Altiascope—boasting a ridiculous 12k. If you look on Youtube, people have done the massive 15 mob super pull in Mt. Gulg with Trusts and the big double pull in Qitana with Thancred. To be fair, the Mt. Gulg pull was done by a Warrior (albeit in ShB) but the point still stands. I don't even expect healers to handle that pull yet the Trusts can do it. So...
