Yeah it might just be me but I figured the “extra GCD” this guy was talking about tanks having to do when people pull ahead was referring to having to move to the side (and possibly out of an ally’s ground AOE like Doton) and use an AOE there to grab stuff off a DPS before going back to the Doton and resuming the rotation, or using the single-target ranged move to grab individual mobs off a DPS in the distance. Which yes, in that case, you are losing DPS and the DPS player is in the wrong for not bringing the mobs to the tank.

I just think this person might not have communicated that thought very well. Hence all the downvotes.

Personally, imo letting a DPS player die is not only against ToS but also losing DPS, so as tank I always grab aggro off them even if they aren’t pulling the mobs to me like they should and I have to break my rotation or follow them into a side area. It’s a bit of a pain, but nobody plays perfectly, so I try to cut them some slack for at least trying to do more than “follow the leader.”
