Speed Runs Suck

[Metalwrath]

Unfortunatly due to players already being overgeared the letting the dps die strat doesn't work in ex roulette if the healer is backing them up.Both dungeons can be tanked by overgeared dps way too easily.I've seen it first hand when dps pulled before me every time and when i eventually got annoyed and stoped tanking the dps did the job fine because they had healer friend backing them up.Unless the healer is on your side and lets them eat dirt teaching dps a lesson for rush pulling doesn't work.And a lot of the time the healer won't care becuase they just want to get the ex roulette over in done with.This is the problem with having 2 boring dungeons with no gain other than eso once a day to run.

teaching dps a lesson

The thing is, if you're doing your role (tank) correctly, the DPS shouldn't be pulling things in the first place. You set the pace as tank, but as it turns out there actually three other people who get to vote on that pace too. Slow-rolling everything because you're new/shy and don't want to tell people that is terrible and any DPS who has the opportunity will immediately take over tanking duty from you, because it's infinitely more efficient to have a DPS pulling everything quickly than a VIT-stacked tank pulling one or two groups at a time. I had a DRK who was wearing 200 gear and slow-rolling fractal, it was torture as a DRG to see this guy pulling every group individually even though he had the HP and STR to group pull.

Doing your role as a tank doesn't stop dps from being pricks.I've seen BLM nuke on pulls in Alex because they have the gear to survive a hit or 2.You can try to point blame on tank if you want but half the time these tanks aren't even pulling slow.It's just arrogant dps trying to force speed run on that healer with low mp or other dps and tank with low tp.Play tank and then you'll understand.
