Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent. 2.0

tl;dr: 90 tank has to be reminded about tank stance about 1/3 through the dungeon, tries to wall pull with an undergeared healer then admits to not having any self-healing, nearly wipes the group a few times until the last hallway pull to the huge pack. At 90 you are not new anymore. You admitting it's your first time tanking while wearing 90 gear does not inspire confidence.

I have a lv90 WAR myself that isn't far off BiS including the Savage pieces. I never run duty finder dungeons on it. I leveled with Squadron and Trust in the past and in this expansion it was my class for farming FATEs to unlock the 60 shared fate bonus in each zone. I keep it primarily for Hunts and just to have one, but occasionally I'll tank raids for FC for fun.

Basically I'm just saying having a level 90 tank means nothing about your dungeon experience. Not everyone is a roulette addict. Also you have to start somewhere, you shouldn't be locked out from learning just because you reached 90 through other means.

In your case, your tank had a great attitude and whoever the player in dark red is, they quite frankly had a terrible attitude. Players like that are the reason we have less tanks in dungeon queues.

Person in dark red is OP I think... If we are a DD 1 is usually the label for us ourselves, 2 is tank, 3 is the healer and 4 is the other DD.

Typically I'm relaxed and laid back as any job, but when you're trying to level alts and other jobs and get stuck often with people who don't understand the very basics of their jobs, it gets old quite fast. Especially if you end up running into those folk in 80/90 dungeons and despite trying to help people repeatedly but find the advice gets ignored, mostly by people who are just ill-prepared or willingly ignorant. Like the 'you can Holy here whm, the stun helps with my mitigation and survival!' only to be met with 'you don't pay my sub, I do what I want!'

Trying to type between dodging aoes and dpsing to save myself tends to make a lot of my sentences short and brusque, as I only have two hands and ten fingers.

Yes, I felt salty after ending up being a temporary tank and dying because the tank did not put on their stance for 1/3 of the dungeon. I was willing to forgive them until after they pulled the stunt after the second boss. Tanks at 43 really don't get a ton to work with for that wall, and while I'm used to doing w2w as a tank, there are certain dungeons where it is actually detrimental to the rest of the party. Stone Vigil is one of those places where it has never been a very good idea to w2w that last stretch.

When the tank had apologized after the second wipe, it sounded condescending to me, especially after watching them just make a beeline for the wall with sprint while the healer was trying to roll on gear they needed before doing that.
