Learning to Tank

[Foo01]

I don't know who gets it worse.... Tanks with lousy healers or healers with lousy tanks. I am exploring the tank role because I was having trouble with tanks as healer. But this got to take the cake. This was toto-rak, not all that difficult, but I got this healer that was having connection issues, disconnect, reconnects etc. But the group made do just fine. So I go down at the final boss with like 5% remaining, the healer was not healing or missing heals for whatever reasons. But the DPS finishes off the boss with a LB and I was there on the ground. I ask for a "please res", and the healer just leaves on us now that the dungeon is done. This is what people do? When I played a healer I raised/resurrected anybody and everybody, every chance I got. Not that it is a big deal, but getting a easy res at the end, is that too much to ask?

The basic problem is: being decent to each other, and treating other players as humans instead of program objects... is it too much to ask? For the vast majority, the answer is "No, that's not too much to ask," but there are people who are unable to see the people behind the avatars. If you tank, you'll meet 'em. It's just one of the perks of the job.
