Ultimate Troll Thread: Share Your Anger!

Did someone point that out?

Yes I did point that out. I told them that they were going to fail and at the 3 adds phase that is what happened.

I love Shadewalker ability.

Had a sprinting DRK tank pull slimes to the unwitting PotD, and then keep them out of range of the melee until they exploded.

Had a SCH who refused to heal even once because I had Clemency anyways. I would have been fine with that if not for the recent str/vit rebalance nerfing my Clemency output by 20+% and wasn't consistently Bane-ing DoTs anyways...

Had a group kick me on the last boss of a successful DF speedrun Wanderer's Palace HM. When they said "hey, sorry, but our friend needs his daily run real quick," I thought for sure that meant I'd have to replace. So naive. And butt-hurt.

... Report them for misuse of the kicking option... Should have screen-shot the conversation :/

I once had a monk who only spammed Touch of Death and nothing else on literally every mob. I'm not sure whether he was a troll or a broken bot.

Then just 10 minutes ago, I was on one of my stronger alts and was trying to do Trial Roulette. We got Final Steps of Faith, which did seem not all that bad until I saw the numbers on the OT. It was a WAR who for some ridiculous reason was not wearing Tank accessories. He was wearing DPS accessories and because of that, he was actually weaker than all but one DPS. So not surprisingly, he couldn't hold aggro to save his life and we wiped with ease at the 3 adds phase. With such a paper tank, we knew we couldn't win, so we all left his sorry excuse for a tank behind.

im less inclined to think it was the tanks fault purely on the acc part, mainly because the only thing that tank accs would do for him is add more health. if he couldnt hold hate, easy solution would have been to attack the other one that MT is holding so he builds hate. if you guys were wiping to the 3 adds, its more likely to be dps not being good.

Except VIT now affects the attack power of a tank. Stacking STR gear is just nerfing your HP. If the tank can't survive the add hits, all that'll happen is the add will turn on the healer struggling to keep said STR tank alive, likely killing them, and then wrecking the DPS themselves afterwards.

Plus, there is an expectation that the tanks will grab the two seperate mobs (since the third is untankable).

Both VIT and STR have the same stat weight, .45, the only difference is that VIT adds health as well. Dps jewelry isn't going to affect his ability to function as a tank. The only thing it affects is his health. I was in M4N last night with another warrior. When we loaded in, we were both in Deliverance stance. I had 10k more HP than he did (I'm very geared). When he switched to Defiance for the adds he had zero issues picking them up, tanking, and mitigating.

It wasn't the jewelry. It was the person behind the keyboard/controller.

[Kaze3434]

bounddreamers post is the point i was making.

[Malevolence]

It's no wonder no one wants to tank in this game; the sense of know-it-all entitlement from the DPS community is vomit inducing. I am leveling up a DRK and use the Duty Finder to get EXP and sometimes gear, and the comments from DPS are just amazing. I just leave if they don't like how things are going. Better for everyone.
