    Really, OP is right. As someone who mains BOTH tanking classes, planning on including the third as well, and plays as scholar and summoner, any time I see a tank pulling a group of mobs using just proximity agro, or who aren't able to time their Flashes of Overpowers correctly to hit everything automatically loses my commendation when I dps or heal. Go back to tanking 101 if you can't perform these simple tasks. It isn't even hard to know which mob you failed to gain agro on, as there is a list of mobs that are aggroed to you, and it is all too easy to cycle through those names to find the one you missed (Or maybe that's just because I play on PC, in which case, get gud or don't bother trying). This isn't the kiddy pool dps league where all you do is lawl, button mash, and giggle at the high numbers. Your job as a tank is to get and maintain the attention of a mob, and only letting that attention go in the event of things like tank switches, or if agro is simply impossible to establish due to a fight mechanic. If a tank can't do that in the face of Regen, Medica II, or Fey Covenant, then go back to the pre 50s and learn your job again, or seek help from someone who knows the job inside and out. The tools are all there, this isn't an issue with the game or your hardware. This is a PICNIC issue... Problem In Chair Not In Computer. If you accidentally miss one mob, then pick it up. Don't just keep running away and let the healer get punched in the face, or they will let you get gang banged by your pull. If a dps pulls a mob off your group, then you're likely not at fault, because they should be waiting until you establish a base of operations before releasing their load all over the place. But if your healer gets agro, then you're doing something wrong. There is NO reason for your healer to out agro you. Everyone always says there's so many ways to play a class, but the truth of it is, there are only one or two best ways to play them. Learn them or beat it, those are your options. No one else should have to hold your hand and tell you you're just such a special snowflake and that others just have to change their methods for your entitled butt. Protect your healer, pick up all the trash on your pull, and maintain agro. That's your job, so do it. Also, you can drop buffs like regen, medica II, Fey Covenant, and even Stoneskin and Protect off your bar early by right clicking on them. I suppose that might be ANOTHER benefit of playing an MMO on a computer instead of a console though.

    TL;DR If dps gets your pull agro, their fault. If healer takes your pull agro, your fault. Get gud or play something else.

    P.S. I don't care if I sound heartless either. Only scrubs don't like the truth of it.
