Why are tanks always the broest players?

It goes like that:

DPS > Healer > Tank

Tank are always the most stuck-up and bitchiest when things go wrong, blaming the healer for all his faults.

>>387306887
As healer, I mostly blame the dps in more action-oriented games. Healing and tanking in those are generally braindead.

>>387306683
>Bro-est players
>Leaves party the moment a DPS wants a DPS item
>Pulls the dungeon after the healer tells them they are new
>At one point in WoW, sold runs for money, due to the once massive lack of tanks

>>387307012
>at one point
they still do

>>387306887
Really? In the parties i've been in, it's always been the DPS that's the insufferable prick.

>>387306683
Not being a DPS means the player has grown out of the need to compete in the e-peen contest. So Tanks and Healers are more mature players by default.

>>387306683
Tanks are autists that actually want to play the game. The problem is they tend to REALLY REALLY actually want to play the game. They'll be your best friend if you're doing well, but you'll become the biggest piece of shit on earth to them if you so much as make a mistake. Anything they do wrong is never their fault.

Healers are either girls that want backup roles that neither demand too much nor make them feel useless, or people on alts after having played the game far too much on a main. There's a 50/50 chance here.

DPS has arguably the highest chances of actually being fun to play with because most of the time they're just people who want to relax and kill shit without too much drama. However there is the rare chance they are xX420_Sephiroth_UchihaXx levels of hyper cancer.

>Healers are either girls that want backup roles that neither demand too much
I'm a grown man and I never do healing because it's too demanding and stressful.

>>387307206

The only time healing is stressful is if shit is going horribly wrong.

>>387307158
>Healers are either girls that want backup roles that neither demand too much nor make them feel useless
>demand too much

Your job is to keep the entire party alive, how is that not demanding?

Also that's just some bizarro world opinions right there.
Tanks are usually far more forgiving and chill players and willing to shoulder some extra burden because some DPS fucks up, just because it's their duty.
DPS are MOSTLY xX420_Sephiroth_UchihaXx cancer and have the most chances of being stuck up autists throwing a tantrum because someone else is not using the most optimal setup and/or rotation.

You stay in the back safe from harm and toggle spells on people whose life bars get kinda low. You don't have to fight AI, and it's rarely up to you to deal with other players in an PvP situation. It's other people's jobs to keep the enemy off you. The only actually hard thing you have to do is not step out of line.

I actually physically laughed.

>>387307465
Well, back when I still played MMOs I only raided with my own guild. If you play with randoms it's understandable that tanks would be cunts, but then again, every player in the group would. Including you.

>>387307465
>it's rarely up to you to deal with other players in an PvP situation. It's other people's jobs to keep the enemy off you.

Healers have target markers on their heads in PvP and the only time you'll get any peel is if you brought your DPS friends with you to the match.

The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of MMO players are autistic retards with short fuses, regardless of what role they play. You'd think after decades of having to move out of the fire that people would learn to move out of the fucking fire but the MMO crowd still manages to be stupid enough to not learn after so many years.

>>387307270

The demand of the healing job is inversely proportional to the amount of skill your group has, if everyone is doing their job right you have nothing to do but if you're running with a group of baddies you're gonna have your work cut out for you. A healer is the last line of defense of a group and if the first and second line isn't broken there isn't much demand of skill for a healer.

>>387307580
Yeah that doesn't change the fact that it's still other people's job to peel you because most of the time healers have limited escape. It's stressless because if you're doing your job right, you can rarely be blamed for being killed. And if you are actually healing enough and someone still gets killed, it can be completely ambiguous whether or not you weren't doing enough or if they were simply in over their heads. Still by far the most stressless class in RPGs.

>This is what DPS fags actually think

>>387306683
Yeah, we're not bros.

We're the backbone of the group. We're likely most skilled and almost certainly the most intelligent players. Constantly wrangling a bunch of tards really takes a toll on your mental state, especially when you get the thickest fuckhead DPS troglodytes that can't. follow. simple. orders. And without fail, they get surprised when I chew them out for being moronic, and paint me as a tyrant. Fucking hell.

Tanks Literately think they are God's gift to Mankind and your post proves this 100%

Because they choose to give their life not for honor, but for you.

There are as many dipshit tanks as there are in any other role. Well, probably a little bit less because you have to have SOME sense of responsibility to play tank (or maybe you just want easy ins) but not by much.

Tanks are people with so little control over their real lives that they can only take a leading role in a video game. No adjusted person would play a class as demanding as tanking to have fun in a video game.

Ever since the MMO market began copying WotLK-era WoW tanks have just played like less interesting DPS. Threat doesn't matter, pulling isn't hard, you're just a DPS that pops defensive cooldowns instead of offensive ones.

>>387308027
>you're just a DPS that pops defensive cooldowns instead of offensive ones
That's actually not a bad thing.
More active mitigation as opposed to just stacking passive defensive gear and spamming the same aggro generating abilities that do no damage is a better gameplay design. Not saying threat management and pulling should be neglected though.

>>387306887
Tank has the most important job, healer second, Why do you think DPS are always at fault when the tank is pulling agro, buffing everyone too, but the adds kill the healer.
Whos job was it to kill the adds?

In the MMO I still play nobody even plays as a tank anymore because being a tank in this game is pointless. The couple of people who do play the "tank" class just go full DPS. New dungeons just have little to no use for a tank with how much buffs you can stack from items and support classes.
Utility classes in here are often pretty chill, the loud egoistic faggots are most of the time DPS classers shoving their damage numbers at people wanting to be worshiped and throwing all their money into the game to be the best.

>>387306887
Tanks almost always have the least active job by comparison as far as most MMOs go, and as such they get to spend a lot more time looking at the raid to see if they're doing their jobs.

They arent

It is a bad thing since that's all they fucking do. Their DPS by and large does not matter, pulling doesn't matter, aggro doesn't matter since nothing will beat you once you engage, positioning is a fight-by-fight basis and uninteresting half of the time. When all they have to worry about is defensive cds it's a fucking bore.

I don't care if you mess up some shitty mechanic in a dungeon but what really triggers me is when someone is almost max level and doesn't know what a lvl 10 or lvl 30 skill does or doesn't even has in his hotbar
