Coldplay and U2 make perfectly acceptable music.

I will gladly ninja-pull if the tank looks like they could handle it, if I have a set of procs active that don't want to be wasted on 20 seconds of dead time with no-one to hit, if Misdirection is off cooldown, if a patrolling mob pack is in an ideal place to be pulled from.

I always ninja pull. No point standing around waiting for the tank to fap between each pull. I like to keep people on their toes.

Personally I have 3 tanks, it irks me a little when im forced to advance my pace, but thats the day in age we live in, in hindsight it always improves you.

I try to re-educate ninja pullers, b simply saying "Hey, if you want a faster run, just ask"

Because you're slow and we have many things to do in one day.


Pretty much this. As you are posting on a level 60 character, I assume you don't mean heroics or 80+ instances. Tanks are not really needed before that, and if you are slow in them, I'm not gonna wait up for you. I don't expect to be healed, I don't expect to get the mob taunted off from me. I just want stuff dead, fast.


Well Yes. and i said in the start of the thread that i dont have much experience and such: "Now i havent been tanking for very long, and my gear might suck, but i manage. With that said, i try going as fast as i can, but still be in control and dont pull more than healers can heal.".

And i handle myself good, its not like I break down and makes us wipe. If i make us wipe im man enough to take the blame and move on and dont do the same thing. I got dpses to, and if i happen to pull by accident then i apologize, and we move on. what makes me crazy is the ppl that do it, and dont respond in any way and just keep doing it...

So i have to say this one of the very few whine threads ive ever made, i usualy just move on, but this !@#$ just doesnt stop so i had to get some steam out :p

Addressing the Original point. Doesnt matter what the tank is doing. You're a DPS, you will have to depend on the tank if you want to do your job properly (DPS). Instead you're wasting energy and mana and distance by trying to save your sorry ninja pulling butt instead of letting the tank make the the pull and keep aggro so you can use your full potential as a -DPS CLASS-
AND THAT children. Is how you make a dungeon go smoother and faster!

Can one of you Ninjas identify yourself and explain to me why you dont bother with tanking, just que as dps and try take tanking role, or wannabe role? -.-

I'll happily identify myself - And the explanation is QUITE simple.. Blizzard is making the game easier and easier. Removing TONS of elite and group quests. Making more classes able to solo harder and harder mobs. Granting all classes a way to self heal. Tanks are overrated till at least lv 70+ .. Healers in low level dungeons are EXTREMELY strong, even without heirlooms.

Why do we not roll a tank class ? Because tanks as easily replaced as any DPS or healer with the new mix of wrath and cataclysm attitude... Games evolves through expansion, the game community evolves too ... If you don't like LFD/LFR.. go find yourself a guild with people who is willing to repay your slowness and narrowminded way of thinking where you still live in either classic or tbc where anyone NOT being a tank, simply couldn't tank. Except for evasion rogues ofc :D

Look at SM revamp. Looks like they're not only making it more shiny but also harder ;)

Normally ninjapulling dps barely beats tank dps. So no, its not tanks pulling slow, its dps doing their job slow.

We are talking about low level dungeons, and in low level dungeons Tanks DPS is MUCH hugher than the dps one. Both single and AoE
