Tanks Letting DPS Die

[Hruodig]

Here's a crazy notion. I play the game to have fun. If I'm not having fun with something, then I'm not doing it. And, mindlessly spamming one skill at level 70 is not fun.

Thanks for wasting the time of every group you've been grouped up with, I'd kick you if I got you. Play a different class if you really hate spamming death blossom that much.

And I'd report you for harassment/abuse if you did, especially as you've now said point blank that's why you'd be doing it.

And everyone else are not having fun with ninja using single-target rotation on 3-pack pulls. Enjoy your 35 min queue again as soon as someone notices you're doing this on purpose.

No, usually on 3-pack pulls I'm typically not doing anything at all, because there are so many AOEs to avoid that I literally can't do anything without dying.

Difference in playstyle is an option for kicking. Groups I run with use aoe to finish dungeons fast and efficiently. You don't want to? You're not in my group, sorry.

Hmmm seems I don't see your option there, though I do see that abusing the tool is a punishable act. But sounds like we're both better off for not playing together. I'm sure I'd absolutely hate having to deal with you in any content.

True, but if it's one skill during aoe then we have a problem! I think fun is fine, to be sure, and I wont punish or harass a player in a dungeon if they're single targetting, but if the tank is pulling more and the healer can handle it, it's going to make everything slow and all the other players could also run out of resources, putting the party in danger.

Oof, well that got mean quick...

So this is how the other side looks at it. If you are not using your aggro drops you are forcing me to lower my DPS if you can actually pull it off me. This hurts the party more since DPS don't lose Damage from using an Aggro drop on GCD. That being said, in a normal dungeon there is no reason a tank should lose aggro after doing 1 hate rotation. Hope you have better luck with tanks but most DPS are given aggro drops for a reason.

And aggro drops have a cooldown. And they are more effective the more threat that's been generated. Being forced to use it 10s in effectively makes them worthless and I'm just going to shoot by the leet deepsing tank anyways.

This is why I started using shadewalker as a Nin. Took some getting used to, but thanks to this whole scenario I am now a better DPS then before and the tank can go trigger happy and I can focus my DPS too without worrying about potions, second wind, etc etc. Sure it's there if I NEED it, but I usually don't. So, in this sense, thank you tanks who didn't care to be in tank stance you made me a better dps, AND, the party better as a whole!
