Why do tanks no use coold downs?

[Mavrias]

Aren't you the person who was complaining about big pulls as a tank?

[Kill3rkoi8082]

I'll take that bullet.

Ahem.

Tanks don't need cooldowns on Normal Bosses.

UGH I despise tanks who dont use CD's. Use CD's please help the healer who is trying to support the group.

This reeeeally didn't need to be a post.

This is an honest question. I encountered a tank today that refused to use cd's throughout the dungeon and it caused one wipe and required me to focus on healing him instead of contributing to dps.

just why? is there a reason? I mean even when I tried tanking I thought I was supposed to use cds in pulls.

Refused as in didn't, or refused as in actively said they won't do it because they don't want to? One of those is either a newbie or forgetfulness, both of which are things that happen sometimes. The other is... I don't know, because I've never seen that happen.

Sadly I've had a tank actively refuse to use cooldowns. It was a DRK I got in Expert one time in Ala Mhigo. He wasn't fully geared yet (it syncs to i310 but he was wearing some i290 and i300 gear) and wanted to do double/triple pulls and he died multiple times because he used like nothing (except Living Dead, but he died anyway), he was taking so much damage I had to spam Benefic II without missing a single GCD until I ran out of MP so he died anyway.

I asked him later to use cooldowns because you cannot keep double pulling using nothing like that I can't keep you alive. This is after the second time we wipe and nothing was said so far.

His answer was "I don't need to." "The blackest night is enough I don't need anything else if you would just heal me".

Faith in humanity instantly shattered. I don't even think I responded properly because I was so blown away. I think I wrote "lol" I don't even fully remember because it was that bizarre.

I feel like I've had this exact same DRK because a few weeks ago I was healing Temple of the Fist with a DRK that used literally zero CDs. So actually somehow worse, i guess.

Ah :/ well healer to healer I send thee a virtual hug for having to deal with those kinds of tanks as well.

Sadly tanks like this are rampant. Can't have been the same one unless he has a character on your data center as well.
