Whats the big issue with dps pulling mobs?

[Cubester]

DPS pulling annoys me so much, it's unbelievable.
There is the issue of positioning, which immediately goes down the drain cause I as a tank don't expect DPS to pull and suddenly enemies are everywhere, possibly chasing the healer who's trying to save your scrawny ass because you couldn't wait another minute.
If you want to pull and position enemies or if you want to set the pace of the group, then you ought to go level a tank instead of acting like an douche, possibly wiping the entire group because of a lack of patience.

But don't worry though, if it happens once I usually give people the benefit of the doubt and try my best getting enmity back. Happens again? Yep, you're dead. You brought it on yourself.

Yep, if I see you pull then you ask why I'm not getting it off of you, I simply say: "Hey, you wanted to tank, so tank."

A tank not pulling often over complicates things. Like others have said, maybe the tank didn't pull cause they weren't ready. Which leaves me, the healer, to keep you alive. Which usually leads to trying to keep myself alive. And I can't very well just stop healing myself for the tank to get control unless we wanna wipe.

Depending on my mood; if I'm lazy or not, I often just let the DPS who does that, die. Not purely as a "learn your lesson" type thing. Usually it's a "I don't feel like tanking this". If I cast cure just twice on the DD who pulled, I gain all the enmity. It can go many ways.

I cure the DD who pulled and gain enmity from the 2-4 mobs. The other DD realizes what is going to happen and tries to help, by attempting to tank and kill one of the mobs. The DD who pulled also tries to focus down their own target. IF I'm lucky I can swiftcast and repose one of the mobs and go back to curing myself. Then the tank can try to get enmity back, but I'm second on the list even if he does. So if I have to medica cause the DD decided to tank and kill their own mobs or spam cure on the tank once they get it off me, I get the enmity right back. Then I have to spam heal myself, gaining an even bigger foothold on enmity than the tank ever had. I die, tank dies, the DD who pulled dies, other DD dies.

Usually, that is how it goes. It's much faster to just let the DD who tried to rush things, die. Tank flashes, does their enmity rotation, I cure them a little, repose one or 2 of the mobs, swiftcast raise the DD who died, and resume.

There's exactly one area where I'll pull mobs without the tank telling me to. That's the Succubi on the third floor of AK. The only reason I'll pull them without waiting is because I know I can solo them on my BRD.

Anywhere else, and it's a no-go.

Another tip for dps and healers: if you pull hate; don't try and run away from the mobs as a lot of the time you end up running out of the tanks AoE enmity moves, so they have to keep trying to pull the mobs off you and chase you down. Instead move towards the tank and stay with them until your hate has dropped.
