I have full knowledge of what this guys is saying...
Mind you, im only a 27 SK (Human one at that) so i dont know about all the hard stuff tha im about to hit. Also, it is fair to say that I am new to the game. However, i know what it is like to have a bunch of dipshits in a group.
The tanks job is simple, but dangerous as hell; Make sure the mob you are currently fighting is hitting YOU, not a healer or something. With that in mind, we constantly are getting a mudhole stomped in our face by the countless red cons we get.
Now, keep this in mind for my next point.
When a tank is getting his face pounded in by this red con, we get a pop in the camp. Chances are, we have a bard or chanter or something. But instead of mezzing said pop, everyone else decides to kill this and leave the tank to the mercy of the current mob.
Being an SK, you think "Oh, he can just lifetap and be all good." However, we dont have a very good Health sucker on us. When a necro gets Lifedraw at 16 or something crazy like that, SK's get it at 30. It doesn't help that much.
Now back to the situation...
The tank is screaming in group chat for a heal, while everyone else is being absolutely clueless and cant prioritotze and kill the priority target. So as a result? Tank dies and loses XP (Which is starting to get real brutal now) and the rest of the group is all fine and dandy...
True, there are the three big people you listen to in a group; Tank, Cleric, and Chanter/Bard. Each one has the points they say in group chat and should not be de-valued. But if that tank dies, then things will seriously start getting FUBAR and then everyone else dies.
I thank you for reading my novel.
Cheers!
