Anyway, ESO is a game where everyone in the group helps each other. Healers help tanks and DDs by restoring their resources, purging negative effects and giving them buffs and debuffing enemies. DDs help each other by utilising Major Slayer sets, buffing each other with different class passives and debuffing enemies. Tanks release pressure from healers by running self heals, help DDs by increasing their damage and reducing their damage taken. Tanks provide synergies for each other. Healers likewise. DDs provide them to tanks. Healers provide to tanks and DDs. This is not a game of buffing DDs. Everyone helps everyone.
All of this effort is an example of how teamwork looks like and the best way to do it has been proven mathematically and in practice by people who give you the "Youtube Builds" for free. They are not forcing you to run them. Everyone in the groups that want you to run a specific build is supporting you directly and indirectly. When you get into a trial group in ESO, you are basically carrying a huge burden that's supposed to be carried by 12 players. When you sit on the burden and watch others carry it, they will have every right to push you off of it and get someone else to help them. Learn to play as a team and for your team.
Of course there are many people who don't care about any of this "giving your best" thing and it's ok to do so. If you insist on not doing that, you should run whatever content you want with them and enjoy the game the way you like to. Just don't expect to sit on the burden if others are expecting you to give it your best.

The leader was out of line and disrespected you when a true leader would have sent you private messages. Here's what I would have did OP. I would have put on Plague Doctor + another selfish set like Eternal Yokeda to maximize my own tankiness while not providing any group buffs to those guys. Take the warhorn off too. Finally, when they are wiping make sure you cast a selfish ult to survive a bit longer instead of rezzing them.
Yes please give the group another reason to kick him....because that is how you get kicked.
Why should he care about being kicked out of a run where the leader started off by publicly shaming him on voice chat without even talking it out with him privately? The leader already proved he was not that knowledgeable. He asked how he doesn't run out of magicka using an ice staff. The OP stacked magicka regen but another way to tank with an ice staff without running out of magicka is to not take the first destruction staff passive. If you don't take the first passive, you block with stamina on an ice staff...most tanks should know this.
I am well aware of how ice staves function, I do not know if hes previous leader did ( he also just may have tested him with questions. who knows).
But making the whole group angry because of the leader mocking him is not the way to address this. In the end he may get a bad reputation and wont find a group anymore to run trials. Well that is none of my business tough.
I can only repeat, what I already stated: Somebody not willing to wear specific sets, play a specific class or use specific skills to help out the group is not suited for vet trial environment. This may sound hard, but in this content players commit themselves to the group and adjusting your builds also belongs to that. If he thinks of that as cheese, then it is his own personnel problem.
Well, everyone makes mistakes, even the group leader. If no one stops the guild leader from putting others down in voice chat and forcing builds upon others then he will continue to do this.
It's kind of like if you order take out and they try to charge you 30 dollars for something the menu said costed 15 dollars. Do you trust the cashier and pay up or do you refer to the menu (the reference) and begin asking questions? The point is, the leader could have just not been lazy and looked at the destruction staff passives (the reference) or considered magicka regen which is the solution for running out of magicka. Ice staff tanking is not a new thing that came out last patch...
Giving out accurate information is important in a leadership role no matter the setting. There is also a distinction between insulting others and testing others. Pull the tank in a private channel and discuss the setup with them. Discuss what sets the tank has available to them and make recommendations, but the theatrics and dramatics in voice chat are really unnecessary if you want to be a leader.

Exactly. I wont run with people like that at all. Tanks job is not to buff the group. But some how this has become expected.
Its like dps is the only role that matters.
Just say NO!

Tanks debuff / buff the group because it is the most optimal thing to do, majority of people doing end game trials will want the most optimised thing to do, just because you want to disagree with them doesn't make them wrong and you shouldn't be getting "fired up" over it. Groups have requirements if you will do your own thing you will probably get replaced, it's how it goes.
OP although I think the guild leader you described did sound like a jerk, I have to say you sound almost as bad with your scorn for players who want to use "youtube builds"
Not everyone has the time or interest to spend weeks or months working out a great personal build. Often the youtube builds offer a platform for new players to get started with understanding their class, and can adapt the build more to their liking later on. Your attitude is basically just as elitist as the guy you were complaining about.

Not at all. My scorn is against players who use youtube builds who want to make people feel bad who dont.
Well that raid was clearly not for you, they had higher expectations and wanted a more optimised raid from what you have said. But going on and posting this thread and some of the replies you've said, this doesn't make you right at all. You can play how you want but it is up to the person who leads the raid how they want it to be done, some people don't care at all but some people want people to be in certain builds and classes to have a better results.The raiding community has had the tank role be a supporting role for years now, the developers don't exactly choose the way people decide to play.

When you sit on the burden and watch others carry it, they will have every right to push you off of it and get someone else to help them. Learn to play as a team and for your team.
Of course there are many people who don't care about any of this "giving your best" thing and it's ok to do so. If you insist on not doing that, you should run whatever content you want with them and enjoy the game the way you like to. Just don't expect to sit on the burden if others are expecting you to give it your best.
lol/lmao a tank is a support role is all iam going to say
Show me that on an official eso document or site stated by eso representative or article from developer.
Tanks debuff / buff the group because it is the most optimal thing to do, majority of people doing end game trials will want the most optimised thing to do, just because you want to disagree with them doesn't make them wrong and you shouldn't be getting "fired up" over it. Groups have requirements if you will do your own thing you will probably get replaced, it's how it goes.
I have never been replaced.
But, i did walk out of that raid.
You're also misunderstanding "effective" in this case, just because you can do it doesn't mean it is effectiveOP although I think the guild leader you described did sound like a jerk, I have to say you sound almost as bad with your scorn for players who want to use "youtube builds"
Not everyone has the time or interest to spend weeks or months working out a great personal build. Often the youtube builds offer a platform for new players to get started with understanding their class, and can adapt the build more to their liking later on. Your attitude is basically just as elitist as the guy you were complaining about.
Not at all. My scorn is against players who use youtube builds who want to make people feel bad who dont.
Both should be able to perform without being attacked as long as they are effective
Well that raid was clearly not for you, they had higher expectations and wanted a more optimised raid from what you have said. But going on and posting this thread and some of the replies you've said, this doesn't make you right at all. You can play how you want but it is up to the person who leads the raid how they want it to be done, some people don't care at all but some people want people to be in certain builds and classes to have a better results.The raiding community has had the tank role be a supporting role for years now, the developers don't exactly choose the way people decide to play. The players will be the ones to figure out what works best.alainjbrennanb16_ESO wrote: »OblivionNW wrote: »Sorry to break your little bubble, but a Tank is a support role and supporting involves buffing the rest of your group.

Anyway, ESO is a game where everyone in the group helps each other. Healers help tanks and DDs by restoring their resources, purging negative effects and giving them buffs and debuffing enemies. DDs help each other by utilising Major Slayer sets, buffing each other with different class passives and debuffing enemies. Tanks release pressure from healers by running self heals, help DDs by increasing their damage and reducing their damage taken. Tanks provide synergies for each other. Healers likewise. DDs provide them to tanks. Healers provide to tanks and DDs. This is not a game of buffing DDs. Everyone helps everyone.
All of this effort is an example of how teamwork looks like and the best way to do it has been proven mathematically and in practice by people who give you the "Youtube Builds" for free.

He never asked me. He could have been respectful.
Also, no build saves groups from failed mechanics.
As a tank with the correct build you can help downstairs by picking up the orbsThey all wiped from because theyre guild could not execute downstairs correctly.
