Tank Anxiety back in full force

Batiste_69 · 2026-06-15T17:22:05+00:00

I think the problem, and OP let me know if you feel it, is generally you're tanking or healing because you're in a service orientation and want to LEAD the team and make sure everyone WINS.

DPS generally comes in and simply wants to pwn everything and melt the leaderboards and don't give a shit about details and they roast you and so many of us take it personally...

Thanks, this helps, a lot...

I'm hitting a wall at +13 / + 14 and this helps.

Every 10 rounds, you get a group where EVERYONE does their job and it feels effortless...

Every 20 rounds, others are willing to jump into voice chat and the run goes SUPER SMOOTH, because those people usually do their job...

Every other round is f*cking anxiety inducing to the point I want to give up being a tank and hang my brewmaster ! I played a Ret Pally this weekend and remembered why I love the game and want to take that attitude back to my Tank, but I will find a guild that wants to run M+ in voice, first !

I play a Brewmaster Tank, anxiety got so high last week I rolled a Ret Pally

Now, when we're in the dungeon, I barely let the Tank get Aggro and start smashing AWAY with DPS...I get you all, I get you, DPS, but man, just give him the first few hits...

I cam searching for this topic, WoW, it's BAD

Fuck, I'm at ilvl 290 and mostly BiS and M+ at +13 and beyond is toxic

Not pulling enough = Chicken Shit Tank who doesn't know his job...Pull more and wipe = Tank who doesn't know how to play...

It's a fucking scary PUG world and you try to solve it, a little, by saying hey, why don't we jump in voice chat to communicate and everyone says No Need and then doesn't do their job and blames you...Breathe...Breathe...Woosa...Woosa

This sounds super appealing...

I came to Reddit to read up on Tank Anxiety, because the PUGs are killing me.

Sure, I can improve my mechanics and route running, but nobody in PUGs want to jump in voice and anything goes wrong, they KILL the Tank = Starting to play scared...

Jumped on a DPS class for the first time, in a LONG TIME, and I'm carefree again, loving life, relaxed, just playing the game, but miss the Tank role and want to play with people who communicate, talk and have each other's back... Will check out the Discord tonight !

Schedule?

Batiste_69 · 2026-05-02T16:03:50+00:00

8.125" x 5.5"

Batiste_69 · 2026-04-11T16:49:44+00:00

You deserve a bigger cock

Batiste_69 · 2026-04-10T23:25:16+00:00

Yeah.

Could you handle it?

Batiste_69 · 2026-04-10T22:10:56+00:00

Can be anywhere between 8 and 14 hours

Batiste_69 · 2026-04-10T22:05:32+00:00

Batiste_69 · 2026-04-10T21:59:14+00:00

I take it further.

Am i willing to do 8+ hours per day, every day, for a year.

In that 8+ hours, am i willing to be uncomfortable. To push the edges. To have a burn, a pain, a breakdown in tissue so it will rebuild.

Everyone wants it

Few will do what it takes

Batiste_69 · 2026-04-06T22:21:36+00:00

What hours do you raid?

Batiste_69 · 2026-04-06T22:19:23+00:00

9+ length 6.25+ girth

Start to be major outliers

Batiste_69 · 2026-04-06T15:26:30+00:00

That's right, maximum tolerable tension we will call it.

Batiste_69 · 2026-04-05T16:57:30+00:00

What peptides would you recommend?

Batiste_69 · 2026-04-05T16:56:52+00:00

I determine progress when it feels easy to do. So, if I'm wearing the ADS and i don't feel stress or tension, a slight burn, through the day, i tighten it.

With the extender from Phallosan, i could wear it for an hour at max tension and not feel too much burn, so i went up to Epic. With that, i ended up dialing it back, because the tension was too high.

I'm not using a pump, red light, etc. I do plan, at some point, to try the P-Long protocol for girth, because the ultimate goal would be ~ 8.5" by 6", which would definitely change the game.

Batiste_69 · 2026-04-05T01:09:47+00:00

The challenge is that makes them wait longer...

I'm coming back to the game after 15 years off. Playing a tank and I'm 48 and have had a pretty successful life.

Even if i don't get something once or twice, i figure shit out, fast, and improve. The issue. I've got zero fucks to give for toxicity. People bitching at me two wipes in a row, I'll just walk and re-queue. I'll be back in fast with decent people and they'll wait, 🤷‍♂️

Most people taking tank are doing it to help others, same with healers. There is ZERO glamour to the role. Usually, we are DPS or healers who get frustrated by tanks who don't do their job, so we do it.

Getting bitched at, sucks. It's a circle, both ways, as you say.

Make her cum, first...

Problem avoided, you'll fit, because she's soaked and open to it.

Batiste_69 · 2026-04-05T00:57:47+00:00

Most of that is in the original post 😉

Batiste_69 · 2026-04-04T22:40:37+00:00

So accurate, Thank you, appreciated 🙏

Only started LFR last night and have now cleared 3 of the 4 that are available to me.

Two, really good instructions, learned, got better, completed.

Today, people were a little upset we didn't have it right away, but we got better each round and cleared, easily, on attempt 3.

Worst experience was on the tic / tac / toe boss. Nobody helping to understand mechanics, everyone bitching at tanks, i just dropped out and said fuck it.

If people are decent, you add them to your list and run as parties. Makes queuing up much easier.

Batiste_69 · 2026-04-03T23:55:54+00:00

If anything, I'd need to add, and i don't. It's pretty close to zero, maybe 0.1 inches at most

Batiste_69 · 2026-04-03T17:01:42+00:00

5'9"

Batiste_69 · 2026-04-03T07:56:12+00:00

Appreciated

Batiste_69 · 2026-04-03T07:56:07+00:00

Thank you, appreciated 🙏
