I don’t find ‘tanks’ who don’t hold the boss frustrating in of themselves. I mostly do norms, which are quite doable without. What I find frustrating is when the person who has the aggro won’t stand still when there is a real healer in the group. Block on heavy abilities and you’ll be fine. The healer has you covered, and everyone can use their AoEs. And if you have good self heals or shields, there is really no excuse for not standing still if you have the aggro.

Very true, but if you're running normals there's a good chance you are with new players that don't know any better.

Ran into this last week, finally I just equipped an ice staff instead of inferno (I was on a lowbie, it's what I had lol) and gave the occasional taunt, stood still and DPS'd.

Mind you, I was on a lowbie... so I couldn't get DLC dungeons.

Haha... I’ve been doing the same when leveling my warden healer. Since ESO went ln games pass on XBOX we get a lot more newbies. I try to be patient with them.

It's just very annoying when any group member doesn't adhere to the roles they signed up for.

A DPS who doesn't care about maximizing their output (within reason, of course - don't wear heavy armor and an ice staff to DPS in group content because of your "play how you want" mentality. Save that for solo overland content)

A healer who thinks they're all that and tries to pull higher DPS than the actual DPS, and everyone dies as a result.

A tank who doesn't even slot a taunt and has 16k health.

Pretty much the kinds of things you are bound to run into when you queue for randoms. Best to avoid it, in my opinion. Queue with guildies.

use zone chat in zones that give pledges to find pledge groups and stop using the DF.

Fake tanks are going to exist.

As a fellow tank mentioned earlier, fake tanks are less annoying than" DPS" queuing for vet dungeons without the ability to actually kill anything in them without it taking 9 hours.

Some checks need to be implemented by ZOS for pugging:

Tank - certain skills need to be equiped and health check + adding tanking specific achievements that would unlock specific veteran/normal DLC dungeons. These checked skills (1 or 2 of them) would then be locked through the course of dungeon - taunt, 1h%s equipment.
Healer - certain skills need to be equiped based on class + adding healing specific achievements that would unlock specific veteran/normalDLC dungeons. These checked skills (1 or 2 of them) would then be locked through the course of dungeon + resto staff locked.
DDs - adding DPS achievements that would unlock specific veteran/normal DLC dungeons.

Premade groups can do whatever they want as long as there is 4 of them.

Dude, i DPS/heal/tank all vet dungeons except the new DLC stuff on my 2 pet magsorc using inner fire.

18k health, ~50k magicka. Inner fire taunt. Mow the baddies down no problem. Big bad ass shields OP. Heal all group with twilight.

Just shows not all tanks are the same so wouldnt be good pigeon holing them into that build for a dungeon space.

If you have to run dungeons your way don’t use the dungeon finder.

The one who has to run it thier way is the fake. The other players chose the actual roles the finder asks for.

If anyone should not use the finder it’s the fake tanks.
