Want to know why tank is almost always the role in need?

Edit: Forget it. Too many people not even bothering to read what I write. Not checking this thread anymore.

You might as well tell me to pop Rampart between packs because it looks cool.

It does look cool tho.

I mean, I do pop it when I'm hanging around at the FC house for that reason, so I'll give you that one.

What's Rampart?

I main healer and I have no problem with your line of thinking, to me, a tank should pull when and how they like, my house is not on fire so you do whats comfortable for you.

If I catch a mobs attention by accident I will usually come stand by you, and it happens, but I am not about to pull extra things.

unfortunately.. the prevailing theory on these forums is not the same so expect some flack. expect comments about you ruining others experience because you arent pulling wall to wall and sprinting things down.

Accidents happen, and I am more than happy to pull that mob off of you. I don't subscribe to "you pull, you tank". I just want you to not make it harder for me to do my job.

lol, as a healer, I appreciate tanks who play within their reasonable comfort zone and actually know what mitigation is... because pulling wall to wall and standing in the middle of every aoe they bring down, makes it harder to do my job lol (even better if they have sprinted through and my cd isnt up from the last time they did that so are out of range)

Oh I think some think that's tanky manly to stand in all of them and don't forget to collect those damage ups!

Idk about all that cause the reason I don't play tank is cause I find it really boring

Maybe because we're sick of getting blamed when the healer pulls and I can't pull aggro off of them because they keep running to the second pack.

You should be running ahead of them. A single shield lob gives you enough enmity to hold something until someone else deals about 70x as much damage as your shield lob (or heals 140x as much).

And don't tell me to use Sprint. Sprint is part of my mitigation. I use it when I need to move faster to dodge something. it. You might as well tell me to pop Rampart between packs because it looks cool.

You're not going to need sprint to dodge anything once the trash is parked. Use it between packs.
