DF Tank Experience

[LordLucavi]

99% of the time, the dps and healers are behind me or they stop before they get to the mobs so I can grab them. I usually give the dps the benefit of the doubt, there's been times on archer and mch I've accidentally pulled, or Jumped the gun on drg. If it's an ongoing issue, I'll say something about if they pull again, they get to tank the pack. If they steal hate, I see if I'm doing something wrong or missing something first. Then I start marking mobs. If they're attacking number 3 while I'm working on number 1, I'll flash/overpower/unleash/voke. If they keep at it, it's their mob until they die or we get to it, or it goes after the healer.

As far as the threat gen thing goes, most are more concerned with their combo timers.

I really do hate it when they run from me, though. I often tell them at the start of dungeons and bosses that if they get hate, just bring it to me and I'll take it.

I'm gonna start doing this from now on. But I can imagine someone will still be an ass at some point and either ignore or be like "no...it's better to kite", or arbitrary comments like "stfu and don't let them get on me then". Today in cutters cry I think it is the one with the princess myrmidion boss thing where the majority of healers train and kite the adds...well this healer trained them all and died and then blamed me for not flashing them all and we wiped...so next one I flashed them all and she couldn't keep me alive. Dps then just said something along the lines of "I've never played tank but I don't think I'd ever be this bad". Such a cancerous mentality

The most common and effective strategy for that boss in cutter's cry is for the healer to pop a HoT on the tank and kite the adds all the way around the room until the princess is dead, and the one HoT is all the tank should need to stay alive.
