Realms Forbid DPS to join RDF as a TANK

[shhnedo]

If I queue as dps-tank, I at least check the healer so I can adjust.

If I queue as a healer and the tank is a dps, I at least ask them to either go tank spec or pull smarter. Otherwise, if I'm "overgeared" I just expect them to hold good aggro so that I know I'm only really HEALING one person and just casually booping 3-4 others with a occasional hot.

No need to overcomplicate the situation just because no arguments or need to sound smart/right.

You are totally right, you should have fun in this game. Who cares if I play off-meta and go with dps spec. It's fun. That's why the next runs, I will queue as tank with dps spec and equip cloth and spellcaster items.

Sounds really fun. For you, and no one else. And that's the problem.

Honestly, it seems like a general issue of our time; F everyone, I'm the maincharacter and you're all just NPCs. Now imagine MMORPG.

Finally someone that understands.

Don't you think this was an issue during retail WOTLK as well? Personally, idgaf if someone queues as a tank with DPS spec or not. I do it on my ret and 9/10 it ends well as long as the heal can play well too. Point is, it's the internet. The world of disagreement. What can you do about a failing DPS-Tank? Vote to kick him/her/they. Viola.

@Liep and? You sound more like a problem, than victim.

I have 3 tanks myself, and there is nothing stressful in tanking RDF at all.

This quite frankly isn't true, I've been insulted for the entire run for losing aggro on 1 single mob out of the entire dungeon, and said mob didn't even drop the dps below 80% hp. Anything less than 100% perfection is deplorable trash in the eyes of others.

I've also tanked in "Dungeon Hero" gear, which is pvp + tank + dps gear that puts you at -5.6% crit chance (defense cap) and I run dungeons on speed-run doing the highest dps and taking full aggro on all. The main problem in this instance is the healer, who often times deflects his poor performance of having 1200-1800 heals per second when even a poorly geared low iq healer spamming 1 heal on repeat can pull 2500-3000 heals per second.

Full dps gear = Should be kicked
Hybrid Tank = Not a problem, fast dungeon, healer should heal better
Full tank = snooze fest and slow dungeon due to low dps (3 mages at 2.6k gearscore using rotting sinew, stiffened corpse, wodins, harbingers bone band, and other not-mage items to be able to queue for rdf hc for boosts)

The primary problem being addressed in this thread is a lack of a STAT-SCORE add-on, and simultaneously good programming on dungeons allowing players to queue for them based on STAT-SCORE.

I'm going to lock this, since the OP has stated to be satisfied.
