    This is very true. If they want to pull during a w2w they need to be willing to complete the pull. Most are, but even then it's stupid cause they do it late or have trouble with positioning. Mobs get missed by a few initial party AoEs and they're not AoEing well while focusing on the positioning, extending total time.

    In my earlier tanking days, id make a strong effort to try to recover the mobs. Nowadays, I expect them to bring the mobs into my AoE. Won't even shield lob them.

    Here are some pro tanking tips:

    #Always use sprint outside of combat
    #Always stay ahead of the party, start running when the last enemies are almost dead instead of waiting for the last mob to die.
    #Pull with Provoke , it has more range and makes the enemies run towards you and clump up for your AOE, otherwise your aoe can miss whenenemies are too far apart.

    Do note that in combat sprint only lasts 10 seconds, out of combat sprint lasts 20
