DPS/Healers pulling in dungeons

[SamsaraTrickstar]

Nah, I'll just pull a convenient pack in the vicinity. It's no big deal.

ok you do you, just don't get mad when not all like you. mind you most will not care.

I do. If the tank is slow, I will say in the chat and tell everyone to blame me if the tank dies due to pulling too much. That does not mean I will not pull nearby packs to help speed things up.

well may be first hear what the tank got to say before you FORCE YOUR SELF ON THE TANK? see people like you that like to force things on other players if why i really go solo in to DF things.

As long as the tank does what they're already doing (mash the aoe buttons) there's 0 adaptation required on the tank's part. I wouldn't do it if it required additional effort from the tank to take over aggro. Are there any particular reasons why you wouldn't like your job being made easier by party members delivering the mobs to you?

Wait, pulling for the tank is equivalent to "forcing yourself" on them? Now that's a hot take.

It is technically considered forcing a playstyle on another player, to be fair. Still, I think it only needs to be reported in extreme cases where there's rude language and insults being thrown around. Ideally, tanks would treat the average case of dps/healers pulling as a learning experience, but not everyone works that way.

Just kick any non-tank who think they are supposed to pull. Or if that does not work, leave the duty.

I have yet to experience someone deliberately doing this as a healer or a DPS. Though I've only started playing since December.

I will say that sometimes I just zone out and forget that I'm sprinting ahead of the tank. I don't mean to and it happens only rarely, but I think we can all agree that most dungeons are kinda dull/easy so you tend to make silly mistakes because you aren't paying attention.

What exactly do you mean to imply when you say "not all like you". In your opinion should I be okay with people starting to sandbag by turning off tank stance or stopping to aoe? Do you think that would be warranted?

This one hundred million percent! You can kinda zone out during the dungeons especially as healer and it is incredibly easy to oopsie auto run into mobs/bosses. Heck some of the times I am only doing my thing placing dots onto everything. We are in the boss room that means dot the boss into filler glare spam.. wait where is tank? Ohhhhh oh shoot! Someone was in cutscene! Welp time to run out of boss room and reset.

Always throw apology into chat and it usually makes the party laugh. Can imagine many have been there before.. Especially sadness inducing in places like Stone Vigil where you cannot leave the boss arena.

By just letting people die you're only proving that you're on a powertrip. I understand that's not the message you want to send but it is the message that's being received.

Receive it how you want. Couldn't care less.

If you want to act like a jackass on my tank run, you'll have plenty of time to ponder if I'm on a "powertrip" when you are dead on the floor.

And I'll remind you regardless of your many thought experiments or analysis of my mental state, you fucked up.

nvm you don't get it and its ok.

dont need to be reported at all, its not the problem here.

what i say is talk it out so it will nit get to it. but you say you will pull extra any way. so don't be surprised if the tank don't like it
