Is this common? It's getting annoying...

All in all I'm not mad. I've gone in with that crazy mindset now. Next time it happens I'm going to do the clap emote on whoever pulled intentionally and watch cheering them on. Or I'll clap and cheer for a little bit then DPS. Or maybe I'll do a dance while they get beat up. So many ideas I have. Tanking is GREEEAAT! ^_^

Look at it from a practical point of view. Your job is to not let the enemies murder your team. Your DPS pulling is not going to cause this to happen, worse case scenario the DPS just dies before you can take enmity from him. Overpower / Flash is going to handle the vast majority of this job for you. If anything, this should be a complaint of the healer, because mobs pulled outside Flash/Overpower are MUCH likely to draw enmity from the healer.

If everyone is alert and not AFK, almost nothing changes whether you pull or a DPS pulls, except the fact you aren't doing it. It's likely you're just playing with people more experienced at the game than you. Many of the lower dungeons can actually easily be cleared with 4-DPS or 3 and a healer. As long as the healer isn't being hit, the tank is doing his job. If you're AoEing and the DPS pull more than you can handle, then you can complain. But this thread just seems like a hissy fit that you aren't getting the chance to cast shield lob more often.


What i think bothers tanks is the idea that you aren't as important as you think you are, and letting the DPS die in retaliation is your way of trying to prove otherwise. There's really nothing insulting about DPS or healers pulling heists without you giving them the ok to do so, unless you actually think this way.
