More patience all around would be nice. One of the major reasons I don't queue for DF as a tank in anything other than low these days, despite being reasonably well geared, is because I don't want to deal with:
- People face-pulling because I'm not going fast enough for them.
- People whining because I'm going to pull what I'm comfortable with (which may not be Everything Until The First Thing That Stops Us).
- DPS who open up with 3xFlare on the Shield Lob.
- People who complain when I don't have perfect knowledge of all content as a tank, when I primarily heal and DPS. Every role learns elements of fights differently. What I know as a healer (anticipating big hits, knowing when I need to heal group-wide damage) is not the same as for DPS (mechanics avoidance, when to max DPS to clear a DPS check), which is not the same as for tank (positioning, when adds pop and where, when best to use defensive cooldowns).
And that's why I only tank for people I know.
