hey guys listen i've got a little personality quiz for all of you
if a baby GLD says, at the beginning of copperbell NM, that they're fairly new to tanking and apologise for any mistakes they make, do you:
A) let them make their own pulls
B) run ahead of them constantly and start DPSing before they're even within Shield Lob range
A) follow the kill order they're marking, which generally puts AoE-using mobs first, then most damaging to least damaging
B) purposefully ignore the kill order and go for whatever order you feel like, usually starting with the mob that deals least damage and has the most health
A) attack the same target as the rest of the group, because you're following kill order
B) after they give up marking a kill order, ensure every member of the group is DPSing a different target
A) run towards the tank if you're being gnawed on by something
B) stay rooted to the spot if something starts eating you or, if possible, run out of line of sight of the tank
A) when asked to correct simple mistakes, apologise and strive to improve
B) when asked to correct simple mistakes, claim you're doing it all on purpose to "teach them to be a better tank"
if you answered mostly A, you're a better group member than the ones i just partied with.
because protip: at low levels, Flash is meant to deal with the aggro gained on mobs, by the healer, through healing the tank. maybe the aggro from a few DoTs spread around. not the aggro gained on mobs by every single person in the party deciding they don't feel like sharing today and going all-out on a different goddamn monster.
like, yeah, i'm gonna struggle to keep aggro if you ignore my kill order! that's why it's there! "learn to use provoke," i hear those B-answerers out there cry - you don't get it until level 22 as GLD and copperbell syncs from 20.
jeez.
