Tanking Frustration: I blame WoW

[Candykiss]

Yeah people are terrible at giving the tank a global or two before going apeshit. It can be frustrating at times for sure. Bad players who do not understand how tanking in this game works will annoy the shit out of you. Can't count the number of times an Archer will start firing off on a target before your shield lob can even land on mark #1. Good players know to give at least until they see the flash. So many dps out there who think they're pro for pulling aggro in this game it's hilarious. I've played dps for years in many different mmo's and never pull aggro no matter how much more geared i am than the tank. Why? because i give the tank a few seconds and compensate for gear. The hate meter is there for a reason and people need to start using it. It's a dd's job to watch aggro just as much as it is the tanks job to maximize hate.

Also..it's not just dd's that have this issue it's healers as well. Here's a free tip for the healers out there on multi target pulls...WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET ONE SHOT AND DO NOT REQUIRE YOU TO HEAL US ON THE WAY IN! If a tank is generally geared enough for the instance he is running there is absolutely no reason a healer needs to heal him on pull..give it a global or 2 so you don't pull before a flash can even go off. It is your job to watch your hate as well.
