"Gogogo!!!", or "You pull, you tank"

[McTroll]

Situation: RDF, tank going at his pace, rogue decides it's not fast enough, goes pulling packs, tank gives no f*cks, rogue dies, rogue throws tantrum, tank says "You pull, you tank".


Question: Who's in the right?

They're both idiots

[The Flavour Cat]

Mainly the rogue for prematurely pulling, as that's the tank job. A little bit of blame goes to the tank for that mentality. Tell the rogue not to do it again and move on.

[sjuk]

What was the healer doing?

[Kaleredar]

Well if the rogue aggroed the mobs he obviously wanted to tank them himself. Why else would he have pulled them?

If he wanted someone else to tank them, he should have let that individual pull them.

The tank is in the right, the rogue don't like it, rogue can reroll.

They're both acting like children. If you pull shit and die because your impatient ass can't wait, it's your own fault. If you won't tank something becasue someone didn't want to wait for you to pull, and you processed to be an ass about it, don't tank and play one of the two other roles.

[Ickz]

Eh, hard to say. I usually tank or heal instances - when I tank, I like to chain pull as fast as possible as long as the healer can keep up. When I'm dpsing or especially healing and a tank is pulling very slowly, it can be extremely frustrating. I don't throw a tantrum or anything, just politely tell the tank he can pull faster since we're ok and in no danger. If he refuses or is snarky back to me, then I'll start pulling on my own to speed things up - but I make sure I can do it safely so I don't die or wipe us.

The "you pull, you tank" mentally is out of touch and just retarded thinking.

It's the tanks JOB to tank shit REGARDLESS of how it was aggroed. That kind of mindset is unacceptable in LFD and LFR imo.

Rogue obviously deserved to die. He has "Tricks of the Trade" for a reason!

[Bodakane]

If you purposely pull because you're impatient and you die...good.

^ This...

Tank did nothing wrong, if the Rogue wants to be a moron then let him be a moron...must be a bad rogue if he didn't know how to vanish lol

Exactly. The only times I start pulling ahead is on my DH/Pally Cuz I know I'll be ok.

Also If it was a rogue why didn't he just vanish/tricks of the trade either one would've forced the tank to deal with it.

Tank is right. Even if he is slow as fuck, let him do his thing. Most tanks don't go slow on purpose just to be obnoxious, they either are newer tanks or are waiting on CDs, or just aren't that good.

Pulling tons of extra shit and spamming "go" is very obnoxious, no way around it. Maybe pull a couple of extra mobs that you think you can handle if you really can't spend the extra 5 minutes on the dungeon, but don't bitch because you die since it's completely your fault.

I usually wait for the impatient <insert class here> to die, and then I taunt...

I never thought I'd say these words... But I agree with Jaylock...

Tanks are ALWAYS like this. They have huge egos. 90% of them.

ALso DPS'ers pulling before the tank are also jackasses.

So they are both jackasses

[MoanaLisa]

Tank is right.

Rogue is wrong. Simple.

When I was healing, if someone mistakenly pulled ahead of the tank, I would heal them up but if it happened twice they were on their own.

[Hanto]

More the rogue than the tank imo. If the tank is going at his own pace there's probably a reason. The rogue could have asked to speed up or if he could lead pulls to him. When the rogue started nagging after dying, the tank could have also just let him know not to do it again since he's going at his own speed.

[Thrif]

Depends on what "tank going at his pace" means. If everyone is constantly topped and the healer seems bored he's probably not pulling big enough and just wasting everyones time. If "his pace" is a decent one, then yeah, you pull you tank.
