Attention Overgeared DPS in AK

[dontcare]

How is it quicker to chaotically burn down three mobs at the same time very slowly with the tank running around trying to reestablish hate rather than just burning em down one at a time almost instantly?

Because every class does more AoE damage than single-target?

Hope it was worth it to them for waiting on a new tank and the possible requeueing just for the instance though.



lol, no. I mark one, flash, +enmity combo on mark, flash or overpower if necessary while tabbing through to check on the parties hate and using +enmity combo accordingly. Are you the type of dd that ignores marks and goes all out on w/e because why not? Hope you like waiting.

I, as a healer, would rather wait for a tank that isn't a snobby whiner when he loses aggro on trash mobs.
It makes absolutely no difference to me whether a dps tanks a mob or not. The only one who really should care about it is the healer, he's the one keeping the dps alive, so it directly affects me.

Yes, it was worth the wait, and I am 100% sure a lot of healers besides me would say the same thing.

What everyone should know.

As a tank I don't care if you steal aggro from me. I consider it a fail on my part other than if you attack before I do, then that on you.

If you want me to get the add off of you, you need to run to me not run away from me or in circles lol.

I have this fancy move called cover, you know to stop you from taking damage?

Anyway its a team effort. If your group wants to AoE spam, SAY IT IN CHAT! Atleast then everyone is on the same page.

THIS is my kinda tank I wanna run with.

Also, in the case a Bard happens to pull aggro off of you and begins tanking, if they're worth anything they'd end up taking little to no damage anyways, and would most likely kill their target solo before the other two killed the main target.

Oh lol, get that rage up. I didn't say anything past the initial 'hello', until before I left. You wanna know what the last two things I said were? (Focus target) then about ten seconds later, 'Or not...' *leave duty*

I'm raging? since when? Because I don't have the patience for whiny tanks who spend more time whining about who's tanking what than actually tanking mobs? I couldn't care less if you leave. Don't even begin to think the whole run revolves around you. The only angry, raging one here is you, sir. Also, I never said YOU personally was a snobby whiner, you just ASSUMED I was... but if the shoe fit...

If the dps insists on tanking trash, let them do it. Bust out sword oath to make the run faster, and see how long it takes when people die and have to run back.

No disrespect to you sir, I have ran with tanks who fulltimed Sword oath throughout AK, and I didn't even realise it til after the demon wall. That's how little a difference it really makes, to me anyways. People spend way too much time worrying about minor things. All I care about is the tank holding aggro on a BOSS, and if they can keep it ( and trash) off ME. I don't care if the other DPS tanks.

Nice nitpicking you did thar. Reading is hard for some people I guess :x

Also, all you have done is insult and bash anyone who disagrees with you. Get over yourself.

Are you the type of tank who whacks mob 1 until it dies then switches to mob 2 leaving mob 3 untouched or only whacked once?

Are you the type of healer that spams AoE heals and wonders why they pull aggro?

It's easy to assume another player is bad, more often than not it really is the dps not hitting the correct marked target. If the mobs die within 10 seconds fine, but let me know that beforehand so I know not to waste my time trying my damn hardest to pull them all back onto me.


*Edit - Noticed on the lodestone that we have the same Nameday and Guardian, woo!

[MaFi0s0]

Just ignore them then.

If you want to go all out, fine, but do it on the marked mob, if not, you get to be the tank and I'll leave. I'm not there to play a game of trash mob ping-pong with you, especially when you've apparently ran it enough to know better.

dear tank (overgeared tanks too),

if my `over' geared DPS uses any buffs I'm tanking even the marked mob. I enter AK expecting to tank a good part of the trash, its trash and to hold back to not tank and take longer isnt worth the time. I'll hold back a bit on the bosses for you, but dont expect to tank trash, and get mad when you lose hate.

If the healer is bad, the dps will watch there threat, but if I as a DPS can tank one trash with little to no risk of death, THANK the DPS for speeding up the run rather than slowing it to let you tank.

Attention undergeared tanks in AK, please mark your mobs. Countless times I've done it now where the tank never marks and then goes "why you do that?", it wouldn't be an issue if the dps was overgeared if tanks would actually mark in the first place, many of which do not.

Your point has no relevance since the OP already indicated that he does mark mobs, yer just butt hurt that your original point had no validity so yer trying to grasp at straws, get over it.

Man, we have gotten spoiled. Back in earlier games you had to use assisting macros and other things to target the correct mob. Not saying marking is bad, it is just that trends have changed so much. I also prefer marking, as it obviously makes the party´s life easier; however, if the tank doesn´t signal order I just either follow his aggro line or wait for the mob that starts to loose HP.
