Don't be "that DPS"

[ChloeGrace]

You know the one I'm talking about.
Pre-charge all your cooldowns before the pull and start casting your biggest AoE right as the tank starts running toward the group.

I (as PLD) usually get a shield lob off and, before one GCD has cycled, every mob I didn't touch is now making a bee line for the DPS. Then I get to hear all the complaining about me not holding hate.

This isn't a progression raid, it's DF.

Give it 3 seconds before you go ape sh*t on everything.

Sincerely,
someone who just wants to level a tank job.

I can feel the urge to do this on a Summoner if the tank is going too slow in between pulls since my stacks wear off in 30 seconds. Deathflare is extremely fun to use.

The irony being that you're listed as an archer, and that the class most likely to rip hate in the early leveling dungeons indiscriminately is archer.

I can vouch for this.
I love pulling hate off tanks as BRD...which is why I don't feel too bad when it happens when I'm tanking. I usually get the hate right back. Also, I mean, the boss will hit them right in the face so... win/win.

reference: me I've been hit tons of times for doing this.

I have been very guilty of this lol
I feel bad when I do it, and I know as a main tank that it an be annoying

Not fun if you die a lot because of Deathflare. Some tanks couldnt hold the threat I made because they love to switch to dps stance in the middle of tanking trashes. And when I use my Deathflare, bam, all trashes go to me and I always ended up dead. I'm so tired of it sometimes I wait about 10 - 15 seconds before I start using Bane and Painflare, especially Deathflare.

But my stacks. MY PRECIOUS STACKS

[Haprimac]

I'm guilty of using thundercloud proc just before shield lob hits the next group of mobs. My OCD can't handle leaving an unused thundercloud. It hurts my soul if we finish a boss or a mob group and I have thundercloud ticking away to oblivion. Dx (Firestarter I can let go, but thundercloud. Nope!) But I'm nice enough to swoosh to the tank's side and wait enough for them to get hate before I go apesh1t again.

If we are talking about group pulls I tend to wait for the tank to atleast do one aoe enmity skill... On bosses though... prepull foe, he,b4b,rs - empy hitting when tank hits the boss.

But yeah did a dreadwyrm stance once or twice when stacks were about to fall off...
