Why do people bother dodging aoe during trash pulls?

[Vahlnir]

I myself have had two poor experiences tanking - I have a chat macro letting people know I'm new to tanking so they don't expect huge pulls or something amazing from me. But those two poor experiences were... jarring and very hurtful. Purposefully nothing that could get them cited for harassment but it was very targeted and Not Fun.

Pulling more than a group or 2 is something that most tanks will probably have to deal with eventually. Easing oneself into it helps, at least to start, but also speaking from experience...the best solution is to jump in with both feet, provided you have a basic understanding of how your job works. The more you force yourself out of your comfort zone the easier it gets.

I'm prepared to ease myself into it. When it comes to things like this, I'd rather ease myself in and be calm, if not confident, than jump headfirst and have intense anxieties about what I'm doing. One leads to less overall mistakes and a smoother experience, the other... chaos.

The way they force you to stop after 2 pulls in current Expert design it's very difficult to find tanks and healers who will have any issue anyway.

Sigh, some people just don't understand how wasteful dodging aoes is

Honestly that's not a bad passive aggressive way to tell your healer that they're overhealing
