    On behalf of all IMS tanks one big factor you guys failed to mention is , we are tired of not being healed. Yes, i said it ..no heals..priest or mystics are busy afking or simply having brainfarts to even heal the person tanking all the mobs. I been in this game for 2 weeks , the amount of healers that actually heal is baffling. Oh , and lets not forget if the run go bad? Which randoms usually do the tank is used as scapegoat.

    Food for thought from a Lancer Main.

    I know some lancers can be a bit lazy. What I mean is that they can eat hits and not focus on not getting hit anymore because the stack doesn't go away after getting hit. This is a bad practice as a lancer or a tank in general. When we had hold the line in previous patches, we had to make sure not to get hit to keep as much stack as possible. Back then in FIHM patch, if lancer can reach 800k/s-1m+ , then you can tell that that lancer was very skilled. But nowadays it's easily reachable where you don't have to worry about stack unless you get knocked down or not get a block in 50 seconds. Just because of this, the mindset of a lancer tanking should not change. But people will have ways to still know who is an average, good or a godly lancer on a lot of factors.

    And as a tank if you're expecting to be healed all the time, then you're doing something wrong and making it hard on the healers in the party. A tank is supposed to make job easy for healers and the rest of the party. Ofc there will be moments healing will be needed during crucial moments, which is normal.

    Now if the healer is afk in a run, then I can understand that is an issue. Not just missing heals for crucial moments but missing debuffs on the boss and buffs to the team as well which could be the difference in burning a boss or breaking a shield mechanic. Also the run could be so bad by getting really inexperienced players in an IMS. This is why I never IMS and just use LFG or play with guilds/friends.

    Don't take da bait from a 2 week old "lancer main"!


    To op: As others have mentioned, it mainly boils down to responsibility. Yes sure style of class from tank to a dps or healer is a factor however its mainly due to the majority of people not wanting to be put on the spot. Tanks are generally considered to lead and well most people are followers, nothing wrong with any of this, it's just the way it is.

    I'd say try the tank class, if it's not your cup of tea then make friends with some, most tanks in general experience are good people and willing to help others.

    If you're too dumb to realize this (im sure you are) everyone makes strides at different paces. Whatever class you may play , you could of played it since the debut of Tera and still be terribad , but take someone with half a brain (which im sure you don't possess) and put them on a class they passionate about and they will blow that "veteran" out of the water in weeks with ease.
    On behalf of all IMS tanks one big factor you guys failed to mention is , we are tired of not being healed.
    How many times has anyone said this, ever? Go ahead and look at the posts from lancer or any tanks and please do tell me how many.

    I IMS tons, much more than I LFG and never once since launch have I thought "i'm tired of not being healed". You have block, backstep, a ward, a heal, a dash, all kinds of consumables yet that's apparently not enough, you need to be babied too. Unless you were IMSing SSHM or DSU then it's rather quite clear the problem is pebkac but ofc it can't be your facetanking godly 2 week old badass lancerself.

    Hit nerve did i , [filtered] priest you lol.

    P.S It's not JUST one problem , its a compilation of them.

    I think the problem more lies in IMS...IMS runs tend to take 2-5 times longer than lfg or a static group. If you can find a quick party for a fast run, why on earth would you IMS? I refuse to IMS as a healer, and only ims as tank or dps if I am really bored and don't mind a longer run x) It's an ugly truth...but the truth is not always pretty...
