The interesting boiling point

[Snugglebutt]

As a DPS the only mechanics I concern myself with are the ones that would affect me. The tank only needs to know the ones that affect them in my opinion, they should be concentrating on what they need to do and not whatever us DPS do which is a distraction they do not need. A healer is a more complex issue, since they have to be more concerned over what both parties are up to but a tank has no need to know what a DPS is required to do unless they choose to take that additional information on board personally as their choice.

That choice however to do so in my opinion compromises their concentration and they should focus on their job and not worry about ours so much. If we pull a mob off you by mistake by all means take it back and tell us to control our enmity better but just concentrate on your own mechanics and job, worry less about ours. If someone is new and they are a DPS, more often than not one of the other DPS will inform them of the mechanics that they need to know so a tank doesn't need to worry about that unless they want to learn it additionally, my point though is it is not required of a tank to know the mechanics that the DPS need to worry about.
