Tank mentality.

[FrancisBean]

I am guessing.. but Tanks take ALOT of abuse in this game. Tanking/Healing both are a step up as far as visiblity in party fails.. If somethings goes awry .. its always.. that healer sucked, or that tank sucked.. after hearing abuse alot.. you can dish it back or just choose not to take it.. as a new tank.. i used to always be dps.. i am still learning.. a duty or run.. i may not get right on the very first run.. but later will ace it.. I realize some guys run these runs/duties non stop and have like 30+ runs.. to my 1sit or 2nd.. but its always.. that tank sucked or something like that.. So I think the bad attitude is just a reflection of the abuse or bad mojo that was directed at them earlier.. I have to take the abuse until i learn the run.. but sometimes.. ya f those guys

I never really rage against others, but I have played with a few d-bags throughout my tanking career. I can usually just shrug my shoulders and move on if people start to flame me for making a mistake (if I did it, I'll happily admit it and attempt to correct it next time). However, the only people that seem to get instantly right under my skin are the people who tell you step by step the ONLY way to beat this one specific fight and then do not even attempt to follow their own plan and die because of it.......over and over again.

Watching a video on youtube may "enlighten" you, but it definitly doesn't make you an expert in these situations. I take my tanking seriously and honestly I'm a very nice guy, but when you tell me the ONLY way to do something like you are a pro who could do it in their sleep and then you die early on because you didnt take your own advice? Come on man, just admit you've no clue what youre doing. It's then that the rage stops to boil over for me.
