DPS who pull mobs

[Lium]

Im the opposite.
If Im suppose to be the tank, but the DPS decides they wanna be tank...Im taking off my stance and gonna let them have at it.
If they die...thats what happens when you decide your gonna overstep and take my job XD

And as a healer I rarely, if ever, heal a DPS who pulls ahead of the tank. For me, it's not that the tank can't handle it. All they have to do is hit one AOE ability and the mobs re-focus on them. It's that I just think it's rude. The tank sets the pace for everyone. And believe it or not, some tanks aren't comfortable with really large pulls. They could be playing an alt or it might be their first time in that particular dungeon.

If you are unhappy with the way the tank is playing you can either ask them to pull more, initiate a vote kick and hope it passes, or just leave. The fourth option of just running ahead and pulling is asking for death if I'm the healer. 'Cause I damn sure am not healing you if you do that. I may not even rez you. True story.

Hope you know what you're doing!

I kind of agree and disagree with that, I don't think it's up to the tank alone to set the pace of the dungeon, as 3 people asking the tank to pull more and the tank refusing is IMO just as bad as a healer refusing to do anything but curebot or a dps deciding not to AOE.

Tbf it sucks to have a dps pull for you, but if you end up biting off too many mobs because the dps decided to add an extra pack you have to grab off of them, then it's the dps' fault for trying to set the pace to something unsustainable and causing a wipe.

But that being said, if a dps is being rude and pulling the entire dungeon for the tank because they're impatient, then nothing wrong with not giving them priority on heals and forcing them to survive off of whatever aoe heals you throw out that happen to be things meant to sustain the tank.

You have one job, do it and stop being petty.
There is no rule that says the tank NEEDS to pull.

In this game no. In other games, it's a little more important that tanks tank and healers heal. But yep, in this game, healers can DPS and dps can safely pull. Doesn't take more than 1 aoe to peel the mobs off the DPS (unlike other games).

Please use Arm's Lentgh if you can
Mine is probably on CD

Can somebody sponsor that? Me and the heals are on the way to grab'em but if the dps don't survive by the time I get there.../shrug

As someone who actually really enjoys the tanking role, I've never been spiteful enough to watch a party member die

I'd just love to wait a sec for a incoming mass slow debuff
DPS don't start with a total of 1 HP for a reason after all

You can live like that but you're ultimately just encouraging/enabling bad behavior by just letting them do your job. If they wanna pull mobs so bad they can pick up a tank class themselves. XD

More power to you, play how you want to play

I'm a pragmatist - I'd rather not intentionally slow down a run to try and teach someone a lesson of sorts

I'm not sure if doing so would make an impact anyways, I don't know if many people feel that strongly one way or the other

Prime GCBTW examples in the replies

Just grab the aggro and move on, don't waste people's time. Your job in dungeons isn't necessarily to pull it's to grab and hold the aggro.

And I was expecting something like " You pull it you deal with it".
