Why Speed Pulls?

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

You have a very good point, Mendalas, but even as a healer, I'd agree: you pull it, you tank it. Sure, accidents do happen, and I totally don't mind that, but if a DPS oversteps their bounds and intentionally goes off to pull another pack of enemies and expects the tank to just deal with it, then I'm not so forgiving. Now as a DPS, I know not to try to out-tank my tank. If one gets away from him or if I accidentally pull one (Read: ONE) extra enemy, let me handle him. I can put on my big girl panties and take a few hits, if only to cover the healer/buy the tank some time to help me out.

Selfish as it might seem to let a DPS tank something they pull, it's more selfish for the DPS to overstep their tank and pull more than he may/may not have intended.

If I accidently grab one (not run ahead and pull, if I somehow get agro on a single in a pack we currently fighting) I'll hover close to the tank. Easy if melee I'm already there. Then I will attack something else. Gives the tank an easier time getting agro back if I'm not continuously wailing away at it. Unless, it is a squishy or otherwise fairly close to dead. Then I'll huff and puff and flail and wail until I can't flail and wail anymore and it is dead. Usually that doesn't happen, I attack first what the tank pulls first, or marks, but, eh, stuff happens.
