Is this acceptable behaviors for a Tank?

Broken record time. Communication, at the start did you happen to say you just switched classes and you're not ready yet? You didn't mention that. A quick, "hold on one second" and then tell them you're abilities aren't up yet, may have prevented what happened to begin with. I know 9 times out of 10 in a PUG group no one talks other than a hello, but if someone says hang on a second, I'll stop and wait.

Now if that was said and they still ran off, well then not much to do there

Guy kinda ran off before I got a chance to type to her that I just changed class... went on pulling all of the enemies and I couldn't stop to type to her that I just changed classes. Usually before I start run with anyone in a dungeon I look at my Party List first to see what class and parameter levels they have and if it's low I know they most likely just changed class outside of a Sanctuary so I wait.

I don't think the Tank noticed and I believe I told her after we wiped that I just changed classes and not all of my CD were up. Still didn't listen and ran off ahead.


EDIT: This is annoying to reply back to someone's quote and the max character limit is 1000 and the only way around this is to edit. Change the limit to 2000 characters at least SE!

Tank was being a clown, but you should have at least said when the dungeon first loaded up that your abilities were on cooldown and needed 30s or something( iirc you can do this while the dungeon is loading once you see the message you have joined a Light Party). If I join up in a dungeon as tank after switching I tell the guys my stuff is all coming off CD so give it a minute because theres no sense starting my pulls with zero defensive CDs or the healer can say YOLO and spam my ass with heals til ready.

If a healer doesn't cast protect 10-20s after loading, I assume they just don't feel like casting it/feel too good for it/forgot unless they tell me they need a minute on their CDs.

Def. shouldn't have been an ass clown but a little fore warning goes a long way. If you warn the guy your stuff is on CD, the group then knows not to expect things like protect for the first pull/can make adjustments on CD usage themselves or if the group is going to sit tight for a minute and wait it out.

I dont even move if stupid "tanks" like that guy pulling all the map <,< (or even more than 1 group of mobs!)

---------> its DUUUUUUUUUUUUUTY FINDER! You meet RAAAAAANDOM people! <------

Not every1 like those respectless so called "Speed" runs!

If you expect me to pull no more than 2-3 mobs at a time, I expect to see you in Cleric Stance until I actually need a heal.

Seems like a fair tradeoff to me. No Netflix for you!

Ah don't feel too bad, over all in this game tanks are by far the biggest douche players. I play every roll extensively, and no matter if I DPS, heal, or partner MT/OT, I always run into tanks with huge ego complex.

I just wish they remember, bots can grind tomes for gears, monkeys can press 3-5 buttons.

Don't be an ass, be a team players.

Speed runs are an excuse for every non caster dps, tank, and healer to mash one button and then bitch about the run taking .5 seconds too long.

Uh... no? Machinists and Bards do very well at speed runs, and I AoE my tail off as a Monk.

Both machinists and bards have one button to mash for AoE, and a single target buff to keep up.

Tank Divas are hilarious.

I had one on in an Aery run earlier that started raging throughout the entire run because of one death, which I took responsibility for and apologized about.

Apparently, that wasted 2 minutes running back to where we were was enough to flip the switch because it sure as hell wasn't the slight durability damage we received from the lenient death penalty in this game.

Needless to say, tank dropped and we got a better replacement that was much more reasonable and enjoyable to be around.

I don't know about Machinist yet, but bard is definitely 2 buttons lol.

Actual player Aoe is either spread shot or grenade shot depending how long things will survive, using quick reload on cool down and refreshing hot shot. Also bishop turret but that's basically set and forget.
