Dear Tanks

Dear monks, you are just as capable of moving as tanks are. Your directional buttons aren't just for fun.

Additional tip: If the mobs were moved out of your shadow flare/flaming arrow/doton then you very obviously placed your ground AOE in the wrong spot.

Dear Kitten...

...wait, I think I'm on the wrong forum

Dear monk,

As a tank who plays monk on the side, while keeping a mob stationary so you can land your positionals does rate on the priority list, it's not always at the top. The priority list rates more like:

1. Do I have hate on everything?
2. Have I got the mobs pointed away from the party at large?
3. Am I standing in an aoe? Oop there it is, better move or the healer will be mad at me
4. Okay combo time, gotta make sure I hold hate and pop my cooldowns.
5. What dps do I have on this run? Melee? Okay which mob are THEY on? Cool let's hit it with an enmity generating move so I don't lose it.

Somewhere around those last few we start thinking about whether it's optimally positioned for you.

They may not quote on quote be dps but if a tank ques up as dps then they are dps quite whining cause there are some players that wanna tank but like to play safe and keep to small mobs at a time and not have to pull 10 plus members on a mob.let tanks play how they feel comfortable.

Dear monk,

As a DRG, I can understand your frustration of missing your positionals. I have encountered many frustrating instances in group content where my overall damage is hindered by the tank moving the mob slightly so I miss my flank/rear combos by fractions of a centimeter. However, do understand that a tank is expected to dodge aoes, and staying alive for the tank is more necessary for the group than your overall DPS is. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that DPS isn't important, just that tanks who sit there for the benefit of hitting your combos are considered bad tanks because they're taking unnecessary damage.

Dear...

..I'm sorry, I can't get past the forum nick. "Queen Evil Fluffy"? Pffft

Anyway, you're lecturing the wrong people. I'd bet any and all of us who read and post here, are at LEAST average or better Tanks, know our jobs, understand positioning, and all that Jazz.
