Why does everyone blame the tank?

[Nicobo]

....we completed the instance. After the fight the DRG blames me...

So this drg knew the best moment to upset you.
Take it easy, maybe he just didn't love lalafell. ^^;

If the tank dies, its the healers fault.
If the healer dies, its the tanks fault.
If the dps die, it is their own damn fault.

No this is how it works ^

Dps pulling aggro is their own fault, a good tank will get it back obviously, and a good healer will heal them. But it is still the fault of the DPS.
A tank dieing is the healers fault . This statement obviously assumes the tank is popping cooldowns, and it is the healers responsibility to keep him alive.
If a healer dies, it is always the tanks fault, they should never lose aggro to a healer.

The reason people blame the tank, is because no one understands these simple concepts. And if you look at some posts before this, everyone tries to tie back to the tank.

I love how DPS pulling aggro is the tanks fault, watch your bars dumb dumbs. Could the tank be better ? sure, but if hes not and you are starting to pull aggro as a DPS, you should slow down if you don't and die, that is def your fault.

My point exactly

I Know it's the Wrong Game.. But Look up the Song "The Tank is Down" and "You Pull it you Tank it" on You Tube...

IT'S ALWAYS the Tanks fault... even if the Tank is 100% perfect and manages too survive the while instance without a Wipe or the Healer Dying.
Somehow i Find it Hilarious that we get DPS that Charge off alone and Attack things in Groups and think everyone Else is a Bad Player because they Working together...

And yes it has Happened.

Let me tell you a story. I'm currently farming Zodiac weapon final upgrade as of patch 2.25, called Animus. In order to get that weapon, I have to run every low level dungeons. So.. Just 2 days ago, I was in vigil party (level 41 dungeon). There was a tank lv43, equipped with lv20 gear. He couldn't tank at all. Issue was that he can't keep aggro and I had to heal everyone in my group.. It was intense, but we made it there. Before that happened, I had to go through all the drama. I said this to a tank "do you use flash? If you are new, don't afraid to ask me" his reply was "Sh"" up and do your job". I had no choice, but to abandon the dungeon before things escalate badly. but that motion was denied... What could I do. For the sake of others, I decided to stay and help. Every time our tank ran into group of mobs, instead of using flash he shouted "graaaaajdjfldhkd". I said him to focus, but I got blamed from other memeber, dps (archer) -- she said, I'm a dumb healer". Does that make sense to you?. I think it was worst experience I ever had in any MMOs. So, my point is.. Don't listen to others. People can only give advice. Don't let them fool you. It's just not right. You should be respected and not thrown away.

I have heard newbies DPS simply saying "i don't like healers, they are dumb" ^^; So I will never suggest anyone to play healers.

[Delorean]

Because you're looking at one occurrence and saying every instance is the same? Because you're bothered enough by an idiot Dragoon (of all things) that it effects your interest in doing something you like?

I've never met these people lol

I once got blamed for wiping in Brayflox because the tank was taking so much damage that it was just easier to have to heal a bard kite tank. Like, literally, if I stopped healing this guy long enough to heal another player, dude would just fall over dead. I told them that when I was criticized and we downed everything up to Aitar without a tank.

I kind of find it hard to believe a lot of these players exist.

Snip.

Were you eating any breaths? I remember my first Brayflox run as a healer a long time ago. The tank ate EVERYTHING. And was dragging out the fight by not moving the boss fast enough. I ran out of MP (was using free cure) and we wipe. The tank says I suck. I, and the dps, tell him he was taking too much damage. He calls us all trolls "just like the last party" and leaves. So obviously he can't dodge, and after being told that he blames everyone else. I don't see how poison alone can kill you, if the healer was healing, even if he wasn't esuna'ing. Then again I don't remember how often or potent the poison is because I haven't run that in months and months.

It's been a while for me too, but IIRC, the poison stacks. One stack, no problem; two stacks, no problem; three stacks, you croak PDQ.

Especially if you're also failing to dodge the breath attacks.

i wasnt getting hit by anything that was avoidable. I was even making sure to use second wind when berserk was up to get little more hp. bloodbath and foresight were being used throughout the fight.

And at that level i had yet to get inner beast or the maim combo that heals u. I forget whether its storm's eye or path.
