A question about Tanking

[Miradelle]

and my damage was decent considering my Ok'ish gear

Have you ever actually checked?

Anyways, all I can think of is that you didn't use Bloodwhetting, and warrior mains have this obsession with it, and start getting tilted if they don't see it used enough. Like, yeah, it's the most powerful cooldown you have in trash pulls, and unless they had to actually cast GCD heals on you .. shrug.

Since you said the SCH died a few times, it might be a friend of the DPS, and they are trying to shift blame on you to cover for the scholar's bruised ego, "it's not your fault, you're too focused on trying to heal the warrior that isn't mitigating correctly."

But people who get upset in dungeons about people playing poorly are usually the types that have a big ego but are too scared to do content where their ego would get flattened.

[TeresaFortell]

None. I don't think you have done anything problematic. But how did the scholar die?

[DiaDeem]

It is possible I fat fingered two cooldowns at the same time during the last boss.

They were just pricks, then. People are weird.

[Kaurhz]

I probably wouldn't overthink it, a lot of players will try and shift the blame wherever possible, or are just generally looking for whatever excuse to be antagonistic.

Taking your statements at face value (Since there's nothing really to contradict it), that you actually do rotate your CDs, did your rotation to the best of your ability, kept aggro etc., -- I would be inclined to just ignore and move on.

Unsalvageable community if "bro...Tank... you really need to read your abilities" is considered "being toxic".

I personally don't think it's toxic. Just lack of a better word while hurrying to get off the site at the end of a break.

[Nero-Voidstails]

well I could probably see one thing per say and it's shake it off unless they changed it I remember doing a better shield of you have some ability on tho I take them off

[Lexiandle]

Thanks. It bothered me, ngl. I'm starting to think the player was being toxic just for the sake of being toxic.

In a game like this it’s easy to become a perfectionist and start seeing every non-hyper efficient action as a problem, especially when people have limited time. However, individuals of different skill levels play this game and it’s not realistic to expect everyone to play at the highest efficiency possible.

In their mind they may have thought they were trying to help the community but of course people have a hard time understanding how their words affect others.

I’m sorry this person bothered you. At the end of the day you all cleared and I hope you had fun while doing it

[SticksToFloors]

It's a little difficult to have anything to offer when the story goes "I did everything right and someone said something smarmy and left". Maybe you weren't using bloodwhetting or something. What are you looking for here?

[GORYSCARECROW]

Remember, its never the tanks fault. c: jokes aside, dude was probably just a toxic player. Best to ignore and move on.

[Asari5]

did you use bloodwhetting with full health?
