I ask my friends to roulette with me because I find tanking for strangers inordinately stressful...
...then, due to the lack of pressure, I somehow go from being a mediocre-bordering-good tank to being an awful tank. Losing mobs on big pulls, forgetting about patrols, doing the first three pulls without Grit on, the lot. I even got Terror'd in Haukke Manor yesterday. On the last boss. While adds galore were up. Who even does that? The AoE gives you, like, 5 entire seconds to stun or GTFO! I somehow did neither!
Also I mean, while I'm at it, I should probably mention that I annoy my friends approximately 100% of the time by constantly saying I'm awful at everything except my absolute comfort zone (which is SCH healing). I can only imagine they're tired of feeling like they have to reassure me, or of me "deluding myself" into thinking I'm worse than I am. I guess it's easier to say I'm bad when I'm not, than to say I'm good when I'm not? Or just that anxiety thing of "I feel bad, therefore I must be bad"?
In both cases: sorry, friends...
