You pull you tank question.

[sindriiisgaming]

Ive been seeing significantly more of this since dt started-
Tank says nothing for 90% then gets mad on final pull because sm1 else pulled. Refuses to tank the mobs and even the boss.
Same story every time -

Where exactly do the GMs stand on this issue. Where exactly do the tos stand on this issue? And where do you the players stand on this issue.


Is it against tos?
If not should it be?
Are there exceptions where its okay to refuse to tank?

What is the tank doing when they get mad? Refusing to tank anymore?

I don't care if someone runs ahead. I just hope they use arm's length and bring them to my AoE range so I don't have to chase them to Narnia for aggro.

They never do.

It's petty to not want to tank from then on, but yeah, what I do it's simply I move on to the next pack and tank it. They can either come to me if they make it, or not.

What a good idea. Gonna star doing this.

LOL no they don't. And it's been especially bad with picto recently. I AoE that first pack more than usual and I still see green buttons when I get to the second set and the picto just standing back there fighting it XD

Unironically yes, usually the tank doesn't say anything until I ask the party "The tank seems to be afk, hasn't attacked in 5 minutes, votekick?" and then they accept that they aren't as needed as they thought they were since we cleared the pulls and boss without them...

Why this is acceptable and not an automatic warning if they do it repeatedly I don't know, clearly the tank is actively griefing the rest of the party at that point, if the healer is able to do the tanks job and their own job at the same time, and the tank just stands there being bitter that they can't fulfill their power fantasy...

Dpends in the situation.
If i ask the Healer and the Healer want short pulls i would get angry that they undermine the preference of those that need to handle it.

If nothing got mentioned in before i just take it as a sign to pull more but really...its not the DPS who should decide that its between Tank and Healer.

Asking healers lmao

YPYT could be considered lethargic gameplay which is reportable. A person in a role should be doing that role to the best of their ability, it's literally in the TOS. This can of course vary from situation to situation as Ayalu says.

Edit: I will say, at the end of the day it's up to whether the healer can keep the tank alive so they should get final say. But if you're DPS and you want the tank to pull more though, just ask. The worst they can do is say no.

as a long time tank its extremely annoying when other people pull. specially in the newer dungeons. just chill and let them pull. if its "too slow" either ask nicely to pull more or deal with it.

that being said i wouldnt be petty about it and stop tanking. however if i have to ask people multiple times to stop pulling and they refuse ill stop and boot that person out.
