Since the release of WOLTK many things suffered a general reset. Stats, gear and the worse for me is the reset on the recognition that you actually know what you are doing. Experience isnt just a funny looking bar in the UI that grows everytime you kill a mob or deliver a quest. Experience its all about what you've been doing so far with yourself. And i mean Azeroth and Outlands age. With the exception of stupid nerds that buy accounts with a full grown toon with some respectable gear, people dont just land at level 70 or 80. It took time and a lot of work. Its to be expected from someone, lets say....me, that you can actually know something or two about the job you represent and have been representing since forever: The Tanking Job.
Ever since i reached 80, and for the record i never left the Protection build even in leveling, from time to time i get someone in a party that goes like: "Whats your defense?" "Is that your unbuffed Hp?" "Hows your gear?". What the hell?? If you know so much about what i should have why dont you go tank them yourself?
The toughest jobs in this game are as follows:
TANKING
HEALING
...expecting more? There is no more!!!
Nobody wants to tank because its too much responsabilty and a lot of hard work. You cant make that kick ass dps while in pve questing and requires a lot of effort and dedication to aquire the right gear. Not to mention the bloody repair bills that are always through the roof. Nobody wants it but everyone needs one. And instead of being content by the fact that a certain someone found a tank do ride into Utgarde Pinnacle for that special item you need, you go shooting all sorts of stupid ass questions about his job and worst of all, his inteligence about the class and job he or she represents. It's unrespectfull and its diminishing. Especially if you've been doing this since the hard days and main-tanked almost every instance and raid out there.
Healers and Tanks already have to put up with the blame factor for everything. Was a wipe? Tank didnt aggro enough, healer slacking, tank is undergeared, healer doesnt have enough mp5, etc etc etc. We do have to put up with this EVERYDAY constantly. And on top of that get a noob treatment?? Hell to that!!!
This post is a reminder to all dps'ers out there....Respect the player worship the bloody tank!
And do remember another thing: we are living a wow age where the player counts so much more then the class. Skills. And DPS is being called to responsability, to step up into a higher ground of responsability while raiding or simply running heroic instances. Dont slack and be the best you can be. Tanks and healer's cant save the day everyday.
