So uh, Command Missions...

But I don't see people calling on tanks everywhere for not using their defensive cooldowns

I don't know about that. I entered AV on an appropriately feared level 47 DRK last night and in the first pull had the healer gripe at me for not using a cool down in a three mob pull. Figured it wasn't worth fighting over and cycled cooldowns on tiny pulls from then on. Still ended up dying once because healer was too focused on dps.

I am Sorry for your bad experience.

But by "everywhere" I spoke about people posting off-topic just to call on non-DPS'ing healer, regardless of the situation. But I recognize that everyone - tanks in particular - have a plenty of bad experiences because other players who think themselves in the right to call on someone. But called him back because his profile says that he IS a tank.

You must not peruse the forums here very often. There are posts that will call out tanks for not using defensive cooldowns and those posts are off topic to the thread in question.

There are also threads that have been created in the past month or two "calling out" tanks for not using CDs.

Also, the "Tales from Duty Finder: Some make you laugh, some make you cry. Let's vent." is full of posts calling out tanks not using CDs.

From what I have seen on the forums, people are not afraid for blaming tanks for their bad time and calling out tanks off topic. People are afraid of tanking, though.

Looked at some other topics myself and I have to admit: you're right.

But I also think that a situation like that scare off both tanks and healers. And then we have a 30-minutes queue because most players are afraid to being tanks or healers due to some a** ***es that think that demand something is good. Sight...

But I want that this post be the last off-topic from me. The post is interesting, as I'd like to try this system to level my other healers or use it to learn to tank and I'm not sure if it is useful for that. I would do the DRK quest and try it anyways, but I am without patience to listen winy babies crying over something that I'm just learning.

I am using it to help me learn to heal again in this game. The NPCs do take less damage than a normal PCs, so I am able to make "slower" reactions/actions much safer than I would in a normal dungeon with PC players.

As for tanking, I have not done that yet, I will probably do a dungeon run tonight.
