Tanking for vet Crags - a list of things I hate.

Sallymen

1. Going through the door before everyone is ready.
2. Spreading out too much, giving healers a hard time.
3. STANDING BEHIND TANK.
4. Having to tank bottom boss of vHRC for 15 minutes and 24 seconds.
5. People randomly pulling without me

I love tanking but for the love of the gods please listen to us and don't do stupid things. We are trying to help you don't make us hate ourselves more.

Don't forget PUGs randomly using horn or enabling HM in vHRC because they have to press E button whenever it's possible.

Hopefully nobody accidentally activated the HM. How many times have I heard, “What does this statue do?” Followed by “Oh crap...”

Oh crap indeed. Especially if the group can barely handle the non HM, then someone turns on HM...oh dear.

I main a tank so I can relate to this list. But you missed one, people not bashing/interrupting. I haven't done the Craglorn trials in forever, done them so many times they got tedious.

I'm glad it's more than one statue. One time I tried to read a text that was right next to it and I broke the statue by mistake.

Forgive me if I correct you:

5) People randomly pulling without me, causing their and many other deaths and then complaining about *** tanks

Or people that want to do the first HRC boss on the rock...so cheesy and stupid.

This 1000x yes! Been on one group that did that first pull and boss in 3 locations. Part one at the top of the stairs behind the pillar, part 2 in the corner next to the cliff and finally part 3 the rock cheese. What a colossal waste of time. Just put your butts on the gate until the boss comes and then know when he gonna do the spin mech and take 2 steps back. It’s not even that hard!

I’ve seen people troll pugs before. Activate the HM and bail right after. Some people just want to watch the world burn.

This wasn't a pug, though. I was with one of the trial guilds I ran with, but it was my first time in vHRC.

In my social guild, people have a hard time not hitting E when prompted, so I'm happy that's not a thing in normal trials anymore.

One of my guildies who is a completionist learned the hard way what the "readable text" at the last boss in a dungeon means.

Thanks for adding to my list y'all, glad to not be alone about being frustrated. Sometimes I feel like I should just quit tanking and stick with DPS especially since In most dungeons and trials I would out damage most DPS by a significant amount. But their seems to be a big tank shortage going around and I want to get some good clears in.

Tanking is a thankless job, why do we even do it?

Ehhh, been in enough pugs to where I prefer the rock. So many people love to do the DPS dance and kill the group when done the correct way by the gate

Craglorn trials need tanks now?

Next I bet you will tell me healers are needed.

I hear yea mate, but as we all know Pug'n vet trials in general is always a mess. However, it's also an opportunity to teach newer players. It's amazing how much people listen and follow your lead when your delivery is respectful and compassionate. There's a RIGHT way a wrong way and a PUG way..lets do things right, yeah?
