Watch your attitude on the DF or this...

I kinda want to reroll to a tank after I hit level 50 on my alt after I read that post.

You should. I've been having a blast with it. I loved tanking in FFXI, and I'm having a blast with it here. I love learning the ins and outs of the class, and how best to control a situation with mob(s). I came from WoW playing DPS, I had fun, but it was monotonous. Hell I even enjoy tanking with the overzealous DPSer's. First rule I give to healers, if they DPS draws aggro, don't heal them. They have to stop so I can get aggro back, or pay the price.

Kinda want to create a Warrior, I liked how it played in beta.

That reminds me of one of the first dungeons I went into. Our tank was easily pissed off and would go on a rant calling the other party members retards and what not then blowing up on our healer for letting him die.

Shit happens but there's no reason to act that way. One of our party members told him to watch his mouth and I backed him up on this. MMO extremists are the worst.

I hope there was enough life left to wipe them. Did any of them message you after?

I don't doubt that the ones talking all this crap to you deserved it, but in situations like DF, you have to realize that you will never see these people again. I'm willing to bet at least 3-4 of the people you left to die (although if it was 5%, unlikely they wiped) didn't say one word to you.
You are screwing over 1/2 the group who didn't deserve it because your skin is too thin to look past the immaturity.

Sorry for the snips. You are as bad as the bully if you do not stand up for the person being bullied. Why should he have a care in the world about yoursuffering when he leaves the party, if you didnt give a rats ass about him while he was being harassed.

As a primary tank comming up through the leveling process, I mostly stick to dungeons/fates/class quests, I REALLY enjoy playing dungeons, and tanking in this game is piss easy compared to age of conan (what with the agro meter and MARKS!!!) I always start the group displaying my chat macros about watching your own agro level, following targets, and not attacking marked slept targets, and it is about 1 out of every 3 groups there is ONE asshat that intentionally goes against what I say. Usually because tanks are so overpowered in this game I can still work through it but sometimes depending on the douchebagery I just apologize to the other two players and leave. However looking at how often this occurs I can say the community is in a good spot from what I am used too.

1 person out of 3 runs is 1 out of 12 people bein a douce. Not bad at all for a MMO (guess the rest of the douchers are all AFK)

Way to stoop to their level OP. Well done.

[madolyn]

that is pretty funny lol.

I don't understand the attitude that a lot of people have in this game. ARR is essentially new to all of us yet people still fall into that mentality that people are supposed to know all encounters right away. Whenever I use the duty finder for something, I ask right away "is this anyone's first time?" and if anybody says yes, then I usually say np and then proceed to explain the boss / primal / layout so they can know what to expect. If we wipe a few times, I generally don't mind. As long as they eventually understand the encounter, that is one more person in the community who can reliably use the duty finder and clear content.

If after several wipes and they do not pay attention or listen to advice, then that is when I get frustrated.


I am a tank too BTW and I support you. There is never any justified reason to demean someone because it is their first time doing something. People forget that we were all noobs at one point.

I finally got to the part where you fight Titan and I had heard from other FC members of how awful it is and how bad it is to that one in the DF. I decided to try it since I wanted to get past it. After waiting about 30mins as a healer, I get in and no one knew the fight but the tank. He just tells us dont get knock off. The blm was getting hit all the time and he was taking so much dmg. After 3 wipes and him yelling at the blm for it, I had figure out the all the moves in the fight. But the tank and blm left.

I then go again with a friend who just unlocked and no one knew the fight. So, I explained it all in detail and we killed Titan with no one dropping below ~85% health. I do not see what is so hard about the fight. It was extremely easy.

its the legacy players and the no lifers, just wait untill normal people progress that far

lol nice legacy hate. The people I've seen acting like jerks are mostly the new folks but I think that's because there's more new people than old.
