    No, it does. Use your head, think it out.

    Tank here. It doesn't. The tank's job does not change unless your healers are dead and you are playing as paladin.
    The group decides how much to pull.
    • if the dps aren't good enough then you die
    • if the healer isn't good enough you die
    • if the tank isn't good enough you die
    It isn't complicated.

    I'd always w2w unless it obvious the group is lacking dps/heals. Then I'd simply just pull a little less. But that rarely happens since most people do their job and I'm such a good tank anyway. On the chance I am healing the tanks I've played with have always accommodated when my heals weren't the best.

    Unless someone literally says "brb" or "need a sec" then there is no reason anyone should ever not pull. I'm glad when DPS or Healers pull in my tanking roulettes. Everyone is happy.

    it does, but generally you run in to events of *sprout healer* *sprout tank* *mentor badge brd*

    Bard pulls extra because "MuH W2W nOoBs"
    tank dies
    healer dies
    DPS dies
    BRD: "are you pushing buttons?" *quits instance*

    everyone says its the party's call, but i never see a healer/dps ask the group if they want more before they make the selfish decision to pull more on their OWN.

    let the new players learn, if playing with people trying to find their comfort zone bothers you so much, run with NPCs or FC mates.

    granted i pull w2w when tanking because i know i can regardless of the healer or dps.. but that dont mean everyone can, from handicap to nerves, let people learn.

    If you are altering your playstyle as a tank to fit pull size you are doing something wrong because your mitigation rotation should not change, the healer just has to be slightly more alert
