Lore Incentive Is Ruining Duty Roulette

[Reiryuu]

An entire thread because your tank ran off at the start without something as trivial as Protect or Stoneskin? Next time just follow him and cast it when he sits still again. Or just say fuck it and not bother because the mitigation is pretty marginal anyway. I mean, would Protect and Stoneskin be nice to have? Sure, I guess. Mitigation is mitigation. But they're by no means necessary and their absence will never be the reason why you wiped so this all sounds like needless nitpicking to me.

I can see it now in a savage group near you.

*raid wipe*

Tank: What happened to protect and stoneskin for that tank buster.

Healer: Everyone told me that they were pretty marginal and not worth casting when leveling up. So lrn2tnk plzkthx.

People keep complaining that people don't know how to play their jobs in high level content. How can they when they're not building the proper good habits while leveling up?

You're calling for an experience that doesn't happen as a comparison. No raid tank (In their raid) will just jump down the Alexander slide and pull the boss. There's going to be a bit of standing around, and then the tank will hit a 15-20 second pull macro.

Also, the difference between your tank dying in one shot or not to putting a regen on the tank and not needing to heal again for the next 30 seconds is astounding. You're just trying to poke holes for silly reasons.
