    Response three is terrible.
    It's actually really good advice, taken in a negative tone. You don't need multiple cooldowns on the ready. You generally cycle one after the other, and in some tanks cases you don't even touch them all even with a full wall-to-wall pull.

    If you look at it more of a 'We can still do it, trust in yourself and your team' kinda way, they are encouraging you to continue without the need to wait for cooldowns, which as I said is how it's generally done so it's decent taking advice.

    I know, but a newer player may not, and tone is what the problem actually is, that's my entire point. The message received is significantly more important than the message delivered. The issue at hand is attitude and toxicity, not tanking and managing cooldowns. You should not have a bad attitude just because someone isn't up to your standards, it's just that simple. Don't be a dick just because your comfort zone is beyond someone elses. See this line.

    Nobody told me Fantasias were addictive, now I have to go to rehab.
