    No and clearly you've never tanked. A DPS pulling selfishly midway through a fight, which is the example I gave. Is selfish and inconsiderate to the rest of the group. If I have the Cd's to take them off him and he's within reach fine. If I don't you're the bottom of my priority, number 1 is protect everyone else in the group from your selfish decisions. Aka make sure I don't die because then everyone dies, your health bar is now my shield bar.

    You're not a tank, you do not pull, your job is to DPS the mobs the tanks pulled, the tanks job is to keep aggro on these mobs and put them in a good place to allow the DPS to maximise their damage output, the healers job is primarily keep the tank alive, followed by keep dps who standing in glowy circles alive. It's called the holy trinity, it's the fundamentals of the combat system this game uses.

    If a DPS and tank come to an agreement or if the dps pulls a singular pack to the tank when there's no fight current going on ie, we are just standing there and no one is afk, if you range hit the pack and then stand behind me so I can aoe them as they run through, that's a completely different story. But if you pull an additional pack to the parties fight, mid way through combat, you're selfish and have attention span issues. It's the same as if we are doing an wall to wall and you decide while the tanks gathering up the enemies you wanna full burst a single mob just for the giggles well I'm not running over to pull is off you nor am I wasting a GCD, so get your ass to me or you're tanking it (looking at you red mages, as it's always them doing this.)
