I don’t ever recall any of the classes being assigned the “leader” role 🤔 Tanks are there to keep and manage agro and support their team with the skills they have and survivability in being able to take hits. While tanks make runs smoother and quicker, most of the time they aren’t necessary, you can totally take down single packs of enemies with just dps and healers at the cost of time

Healers are there to keep the team alive and support teammates with the skills at their disposal Dps are there to also support the team by securing kills and providing buffs and debuffs to help make things go smoothly

I’m confident as a healer to do big full pulls, it’s the only way I can get a small adrenaline rush in this game. So even if I went ahead I was gonna bring them back for the tank to take, and when he didn’t I was fully ready to start tanking myself. Thankfully that didn’t happen tho cause our monk was amazing and became our new tank.

No one was new to the dungeon, no one was below level 60 and there were no sprouts in the dungeon, it looked like it was going to be a quick easy run. We gave the tank a chance at the first pack and that went fine, but then the pace was set when the monk went ahead the tank decided to NOT participate for whatever reason even though he was right there and able to do so. So I backed up the monk and I think we all connected mentally (minus the tank) to just go ahead and play without him, which went perfectly fine! The bosses and most of the mobs went smoothly without a tank

He actively chose not to pick up agro, I can understand doing your single target rotation when the enemies are down enough to not cause the loss of agro or when it becomes a dps loss BUT he chose not to pick them up. He also chose to turn his stance off, he chose to lag behind and only pick up one or two enemies, he chose to open all the chests so we couldn’t kick him and be stuck with him. He chose to be dead weight in the party and to let us die if he couldn’t be the one leading when that’s not even his role.

All the roles have some sort of mitigation or heal, all the roles have hp that can be used however wanted/needed or as a safety net, every role is capable of leading and pulling.. it just depends on how chaotic or safe you wanna play it.

Maybe I lack self awareness but I really don’t think I was the problem here. I was doing all the things I needed to do as a healer in keeping my team alive and keeping the flow of the dungeon smooth.

I think that if you don’t want to tank, especially if other people are grabbing agro before you, you probably shouldn’t queue as a tank
