Healer main new fairly new to tanking. Started as an I just want the Amaro mount leveling journey, but finding I really enjoy the role. Still really only used to it in dungeon content tho. Or doing normal raids with one of tanks from my static so we can communicate really effectively.
Ran world of darkness, and I've main tanked the whole thing before and things went smoothly. However had a really messy run and would like to know if there was anything I could do better.
Normally I respect the unwritten you pull it you tank it rule. But since the first mini boss section was a near wipe and the eyeball was a wipe because the other two tanks were new and didn't know the mechanics I explained the mechanics that killed them and started pulling.
The other tanks seemed to not like this cause they would provoke the boss to steal aggro, but then end up dying. (Ex. One provoked the eyeball, but didn't look away so they got doom and died.) In this situation I'd provoke back as soon as I saw it happen to minimize boss spinning and try to keep things from going insane. But people were still dying all over the place. Don't think they were trying to troll cause it wasn't like they purposely turned things to kill the raid. But things would go fine until they pulled aggro from me and the boss spun unnecessarily. Just really seemed like it was turning into a tank dick measuring contest tbh.
Is there anything differently I should have done? More unwritten rules for when your co-tanks aren't people you're on voice chat with?
