I found this over on Metroblogging Azeroth. They found it in the Eitrigg forums.
“If the tank dies, it’s the healer’s fault. If the healer dies, it’s the tank’s fault. If anyone else dies, it’s their own damn fault.”
That’s pretty good. As a tank I always feel really responsible for the deaths of others.
But, heck, if I’m the one to die first, I’ve done my job.
Holding aggro isn’t hard. Taking a beating, as long as I’ve done my best getting geared up for it, is what I’m there for. If wipe after wipe occurs and I die first… Not my fault. My problem, my bill, but not my fault.
I’m going to have to macro that for those “gentle reminders” at the start of my next Heroic runs. š
I agree.. I always feel better when I die first while tanking… on the other hand when the super aggro ninja jumping mage dies first I usually laugh.
“Iām going to have to macro that for those āgentle remindersā at the start of my next Heroic runs”.
As a Tank i understand that quite well also. Very few times its seem DPS accepts any responsibility.
