Sounds like you were also impatient which just slowed the situation down even more. Should have just left if you felt the dungeon wasn't going anywhere.

Well, I haven't played Wow in years, but Tanks have always been dicks, especially in pug raids, because they know
1- They have almost non existent search times to find groups. So even if they are dicks and get kicked, they can just join another instance immediately
2-The instance cannot progress without the tank, so the tank can basically hold the whole group hostage if he so chooses, because a)the DPS doesn't want to have to reque for another long wait b) see 1. Dunno if this has changed much or not. But tanks are always pompous.

I remember playing as a hunter and the slow change in mentality. Back in the day, tanks would insist you pull with a dropped freezing trap or feign death splits.

Now they're just fucking retarded.

Nigger we aren't talking about raids here, we are talking about a simple dungeon, and obviously a pug dungeon, of an unknown level. It is always simpler to just let the classes do their jobs rather then just let people do whatever they want and let the tank and healer clean up the mess.

I love playing as Tank and Healer because dumb assholes do well on my team, assume it's them, piss me off, and then die quickly without my help. It's vindicating.

First off all, the worst most annoying thing you can do is pull mobs because the tank is going too slow. It's obnoxious, annoying, and pretty rude. You're shit for being so obnoxious.

Secondly, the tank is shit purely out of being a spiteful cunt. Being a tank doesn't make you god, and tanks who get a god-complex over their role (anyone really) deserve to be kicked and forever unguilded and outcast from the community for being shitty.

Can't stand it, everyone knows the dungeon. The run should take 13 minutes tops and the tank wants to wait minutes at a time between pulls even with a fully raid-geared group. It's fucking agony

DPS actually are unnecessary though unless there's a rage timer. They basically just speed shit up.

In a game which isn't shit a healer should run out of mana if there isn't enough good DPS.

I always have tanked since day one and I never fucking asked for that bullshit. Maybe every now and again on big pulls I would ask hunter to pull but they were very rare and few and far between to be doing it every dungeon.

You haven't ran out of mana since end Wotlk if you aren't a shitter. I remember spirit stacking on my druid when ICC still had then 20% debuff on it so I could keep mana up always. If you aren't a shitter mana hasn't been a problem in years.

Tank here, you don't matter, the dungeon could easily be done without you, a replace can be found within seconds. If you don't like it, maybe you should stop playing a baby role.

Tanks love that. Really speeds things up when every pull is an ass-pull. Seriously though, if you cant communicate with them just deal with it. If youre playing retail I guess the dungeons are piss easy but in vanilla or TBC the shit you pull just hampers progress even more.

I've been playing tanking classes lately and all I can say that it boils down to babysitting DPS.
I know that tanking is all about awareness but DPS usually has tunnel vision and that gets annoying.
Stop attacking random enemies you fuckheads.
