One less tank

you gotta remember one thing abt tanks :x Tanks the front-line, people follow tanks, not the other way around. IF some1's gonna b**** abt how you tank o.o they can go screw themselves.

From your story I came up with the following implication:

- lead, overgeared ward*ck are impatient and wants a fast rdf run. ward*ck should not have aggroed boss, leader should have waited for healer mana, and so should you.
- healer might be undergeared, but this is rdf HC xD not really his fault
- leader should have gone through the exact tactics before-hand and take it slower. rush runs with undergeared ppl arent really ideal >.>
- the guy calling you name is a typical latino/latina/BR gamer and likes to blame **** on tank/healer o.o

all in all you played with a few 13 year old. :( usually the case for any rdf here on pservers.
My suggestion: make your own rdf, learn the tactics online and try it out with teams. start with rdf normal.

every time a dps pulls i wipe the whole group and let them die misserable deaths. then i laugh on them and wait for ress. .8/10 times they wont try it again. it makes runs longer but fk it. you are a tank you set the tempo and you have the shortest que times :D deal with it or perish

Nice story, and I know that feel bro, even tho I'm healz, its kinda the same.

Ppl these days are just so impatient, they want to finish everything quickly, rushing all the time.

I can't even imagine how would those guys do on retail where ppl spend like 45mins in a simple rdf.

Tanking is incredibly boring. It's like DPSing except your numbers aren't as sexy. This is the reason they juiced up Vengeance so much in MoP - so that you do sexy numbers.

I disagree -- though maybe true if you only do RDF HC over and over for a few months, but even then I find it more fun. DPS...by wide margins...is the most boring role to me in WoW. In most encounters, you literally focus on a rotation -- often even letting macros spam your cool-downs for you even. Most fights do not require much positional awareness out of DPS (beyond the "don't stand in fire" that is often missed even on many), which is certainly not true for tanks.

In fact, DPS is so boring that the only enjoyment you can even get is via "sexy numbers." There's almost nothing else about it that you can take pride in beyond watching yourself battle for the top spots on Recount, only to be crushed by the "broken" specs for whatever xpac you're playing (unless you play one of those, in which case you're expected to top and no one cares when you do). Literally, all you do is look up the rotation or spell priority, follow it the best you can, then let your gear shine -- that's so tediously boring to me.

Both tanking and healing require so much more skill out of the player than a DPS, it's hard to believe anyone can seriously think DPS is more fun...

(But, that's like, my opinion, man.)
