Tanking baby

As I said before, if you want to learn as you go that's fine but let people know so they're on the same page. Not everyone has hours to spend holding your hand while you learn. Be respectful of others and you'll get respect in return.

I remember when both tanks let people know it was just there second time doing it and people left right off the bat because some people just don't have the luxury of time to spend on content for letting new players learn. I've done a few runs of HM(Not the new ones) dungeons and had tanks just doing it for the first time and way more geared then me and having trouble with some of the fight mechanics. It kinda shocked me to see tanks skipping content provided to them in the game. It doesn't matter that it doesn't give you any new gear but it does provide mechanics that sometimes could be turned around and used in future raid content and that's the reason for doing all the dungeons in the game.

Killabye your pretty full of urself for doing absolutely no hard content. Ive been tanking since 2.0 and nvr an treated like shit. and i call ppl out when they fck up. So it is you, you are full of yourself for having nothing to justify it. Dont want to watch vids fine dont expect ppl to tolerate your learning curve of 4-7 month old content, its as simple as that. You want to learn things on your own fine, make a learning group. And idk how you expected not to be thrashed when you started by judging yourself off the biggest joke of content in game.

^ not worth a response. If you get that butthurt and trollhardy over an OP like that, please stop playing.

Generally if it's the first time in a dungeon, i'll say "My first time, tell me what I need to know", then start pulling once the buffs are out. Trash is trash and the routine is pretty much always the same. My second time, I usually just toss out "It's been a while, just let me know if I mess something up." and pull once buffs are out.

Don't sit around and wait for explanations if you've done your proper overview research of the dungeon/bosses (which is a good idea), most tanking is just a matter of routine (collect mobs, maintain threat, maintain overwatch, wait for DPS). Players like "the guy above me" can just rot in a queue, as they aren't doing anyone but themselves favors.

Yeah i do come off like a bit of an asshole but def not butthurt. There are just so many of these "the community is being mean to me and its not my fault" threads that pop up. Want some real advice Killa... get some acc, wonder why your struggling with content like coil, thats why.

[Killabye]

Akala, sorry if I pissed you off lol. I completely quit coil for a long time actually so yeah there was a break but I felt coil wasn't fair. I went in brand new and suddenly had to take a crash course in mmo gameplay. I only played it two or three times before quitting and I did watch videos. Our whole FC sucked so it wasn't just me. Cool ass people so I quit cause I felt it was since they blamed everything on me and I could never keep aggro for more than a few seconds. Looking back it wasn't, healer would steal aggro instantly or they attacked before I had position. Leveled drg and t1-4 with a random party but hated drg. So yeah, I'm a couple months late because more experienced players talked trash about me when they were part of the problem. If tank can't even gain initial aggro when decently equipped its not him causing the wipe

Sorry it's the only real farming I've done in a long time so I don't really keep track. And yeah, Ive barely started speed running mostly because I assumed I wasn't up for it since everyone always told me I sucked lol prolly woulda been fine to do the whole time but like I said this is my first mmo, I didn't even know there was a SR for a long time. I'm also 32, dunno how old you are but video games today are completely different than anything I've ever played. Considering that I don't feel my learning curve is all that bad
