It amuses me how DPS, at the very suggestion of watching their threat levels, get angry. As if doing anything beyond their rotation is an affront. There are loads of great, and aware, DPS. There are also loads of worthless facerollers. It's all a fun learning experience. I suggest running with a healer friend that is open to letting annoying dps die for their incompetence.

The only time I pull hate is when the tank is lousy or dead. I watch my threat lvl. I'm sure many do. Quit lumping all DPS together, please. There are good and bad players of all roles.It amuses me how DPS, at the very suggestion of watching their threat levels, get angry. As if doing anything beyond their rotation is an affront.

Or you could, I don't know, read.
I see two groups of DPS I mentioned, because there are great DPS.

@Bouteiller
I did read that part, and yes, I apologize for not acknowledging that you mentioned that. But the first sentence said "It amuses me how DPS, at the very suggestion of watching their threat levels, get angry. As if doing anything beyond their rotation is an affront.". That was what I was referring to. Maybe it was not your intention to word it in a way that sounded like a blanket statement. Idk, I just always see hate for DPS, and it ticks me off when all DPS are grouped together. Again, I am sorry if that was not your intended point.


The problem is that so damned many of you are like that. I admit fault in lumping you all together, and have amended my OP to respect that.
So do I. It doesn't always work.

It's always the DPS's fault, always.
When I play THM, I tell the tank he's got 2.5 seconds to build an aggro lead, but then again, I only play THM with the FC, and trolling in mumble is considered a group sport![]()



I've never ran into a scenario where I've pulled a mob off a tank's first target unless they weren't playing correctly or I just got a lucky string of procs. (Firestarter + 3 Thundersparks in a row) Even if tanks don't mark their mobs I'll usually try to throw in a weak AoE attack after seeing a Flash so that I can see all the HPs of the mob party widget and make sure I'm DPSing the correct one.
