Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent.

Then I queued up for Leveling and got Qarn. I had a sprout SMN and a sprout WHM. The WHM proceeds to cast protect 4 times during the first fight and literally doesn't heal the tank at all the first pull and the tank dies (he's a level 60+ scaled down, not undergeared).

Well lets see...
We once had a paladin in our DF for Satasha (lvl16) I somehow ended up tanking as a rogue, he well auto attacked more than using his skills,
I and another said "flash is your best friend" he ignored it completely, I'm sure you know how weak rogue is early, I tanked the Cat and fish boss >..<

Seeing as this warrior just did this I feel compelled to speak out against the idea.

You know that painful pull with the two serpents before the ape enemies in Hell's Lid? Can you like... not swap to deliverance mid pull on enemies that can hit for 5 digits? Thanks.

Signed, a healer who didn't particularly enjoy a warrior who thought decimates were more important than the loss of healing from defiance and hp restoration from steel cyclones. In other cases? Have at it.

So many times I've seen tanks doing big pulls at that stretch, and it ends in a wipe about half the time because they get a bit overzealous and the healers struggle to keep up with it.

I feel some people understimate the damage that these 2 snakes can pull. It's crazy. Without mitigation, that's a hellish (haha) pull. Which is worse when you get a caster that won't LB it.

It's doable, but you need to be smart about it.

I have yet to fail the pull but it doesn't mean I'm not vehemently opposed to the idea of some tanks turning their tank stance off on possibly the one and only pull in expert dungeons that matters most.

The tank did not appear to be a jump potion user, I merely stated that to demonstrate that the DRK wasn't undergeared (hence him dying repeatedly to single pulls). The tank was fine. The healer was the issue and the healer had 3 different characters in the 50's, but none max level. I do not suspect that the healer was a jump potion player either.

Tanker who didn't know how to use her cooldowns was losing alot damage on sirensong. And them she decide to pull the two wolfs with the seduce mob. And our dps was low. That horrible paladin she didn't even use her stuns on the seduce mob. Than we wipe. I really hate tanks since wow. I have to heal the dps on that part because maybe the tank didn't know how to hold aggro too? Because that is the only explanation for our two dps lose hp on that part too. She couldn't use flash 3 times. I mean nothing, absolutely nothing can be more easy than tank on sirensong. She also falls on puddles aoes. And then I look and she was with the 340 gear...

Sorry I thought you were talking about the healer since it doesnt matter how strong and well geared a tank is without healer he's gonna die.

This is more of a vent post than anything... but nothing irritates me more than playing well and not getting coms.

Comms are relative....or something. The other day I had a Pally die during the Heart of Titan phase and tanked/kited the boss until we beat him -no comms. Derped off a cliff and pulled a room full of monsters in Dzamael and got 3 comms. It never makes sense.
