Tanks holding fights hostage in Roulettes

[Lorika]

Imagine needing 10 pages to determine tanks have become entitled A-holes.

But no need, just play healer and you'll automatically encounter a bunch.
A good exemple : 2 weeks ago i did a Doma Castle with a WAR.
From start to end he didn't used a single mit and a single Shake-it off.... Only Equilibrium and raw Intuition.
A bit suprised and curious i asked why.... The answer he gave me was atonishing : Since all the healer are only good for complaining on the forum (refering to the Healer Strike post), he wanted to give me a bit of "fun".

It was pure troll and It left me speechless.... but the worst part it that i didn't have to heal him that much....

So yeah, they are more and more tanks (and particulary WAR) that think they are immortal.... And it leads sometime to wipe, due to the carelessness that this mindset give, and everything fall back on the healer when this happen.

True. I had several similar experiences.

Just play healer and do the mechanics and you will be fine. Can't hold you hostage if you are still alive.

You missed their point. Even in normal, solo tanking a stack mechanic as a healer because all others failed and died before usually results in death anyway, and it can happen. Hence only tanks remain.

Then make the normal content harder.

Play Healer.

Die once.

Punishment? You get to lose 10-15 minutes of your life watching the Tank slowly wittle the boss down.

This screams "you don't pay my sub" behavior.

No tanks don't have to kill themself to reset a fight. No healers don't have to raise you. No you don't have to wait for the newbie to watch their video. No you don't have to learn your rotation, just press whatever button you want. No you don't have to press your mitigations. No you don't have to do big pulls. No healers don't have to dps. No there is no such thing as early pulling...

It all boils down to being a teamplayer - or not.

Play Tank.
Watch the healer die once.
Punishment? Be expected to kill yourself so you can maybe just watch them die again.

TEAMPLAY it's what is al about... If you can't understand that, then your don't belong in a MMORPF
