EU Tanks Come to NA, Listen Once, and Outperform NA Tanks Instantly

[os12ispeak]

I’m sorry, but the difference between NA and EU tank mentality is actually insane. You see it the moment an EU tank steps onto NA servers.

We had this EU Paladin, playing on NA, doing DSR with us. They weren’t familiar with every timing, so I gave them a few key instructions:

“Use Divine Veil AFTER the 2nd hit of Wroth Flames — that’s where the heal + shield gives max value.”

“Use Holy Sheltron for EVERY auto in Phase 7, including the healer autos.”

“Use Divine Veil after the FIRST hit of Gigaflare — you get the heal immediately AND the shields for the second hit.”

And you know what they said?

‘Okay.’

That’s it. No arguing. No attitude. No NA-style meltdown about “backseating.”
Just listening, applying the information, and playing correctly.

And because they actually listened?

We cleared after seeing Phase 7 only twice.
That’s it. Two looks at the phase before the clear.

Why? Because their mitigation was perfect from pull one:

✔️ Divine Veil after the first Gigaflare hit
→ Heal + shield for the 2nd hit
→ Maximum value, zero drama.

✔️ Divine Veil after the 2nd hit of Wroth Flames
→ Proper timing, party stabilized instantly.

✔️ Holy Sheltron on EVERY Phase 7 auto
→ Tank autos and healer autos covered.
→ Zero panic. Zero HP rollercoasters.

✔️ They never argued.
✔️ They never complained.
✔️ They adjusted instantly and executed cleanly.

Meanwhile, NA tanks will literally:

Eat autos raw

Use cooldowns before damage happens

Forget personals entirely

Get defensive when corrected

And then blame everyone else

That EU Paladin walked into NA territory, listened to advice once, and helped clear the hardest fight in the game after only two Phase 7 attempts.

The issue isn’t the fight.
It’s not the difficulty.
It’s not the mechanics.
It’s the NA ego.

If one EU player can show up, listen, and clear with almost no exposure to the phase, then NA players have no excuse for the constant resistance to basic, correct mitigation usage.

So, wait, if EU players were also argumentative, ate autos raw, blamed everyone else, etc etc, then does that mean NA players WOULD have an excuse?

[yesnt]

It’s the NA ego.

If one EU player

So you met one person from EU and think everyone is like that?
I don't know how bad it is on NA, but rest assured there are jerks on EU too.

The region I play on is a hellhole. The regions I don't play on are utopian.

I am from EU and everytime I played roulette on NA it was...an 'experience'. :')

People are often more funny! That's good! But they also often play much worse and have not our rules.

For example the A(dds), B(elly), C(hain) rule for the Cerberus in Crystal Tower. At least I never saw people doing it.

But I have to disappoint you. We have very toxic people here, too. You just where lucky to meet a friendly one. : )

We have that on Aether. We just generally let any dps go inside since it doesn't need to be limited to just B's. And someone always goes for a chain so it doesn't necessarily need to be C. Main problem is a tank not grabbing adds sometimes, especially if the A tank is already MT. So in our case it's more that we know what needs to be done and so long as someone does it, we don't really care who it is.

A common joke for us in alliance chat is A - all in the belly, B - belly belly belly, C - come into the belly

Yeah, that's how we do it on Crystal too. Joke macro included.

The ABC in WoD became "all DPS in the belly, better get in the belly, crush it in the belly" because we discovered it was faster to throw bodies at the DPS check than send a healer or tank down there.

If one guy can represent EU, can I pick one guy to represent NA?

If you can find one without chronic main character syndrome. NA is a large continent after all.
