Whats the deal with dungeon DPS at the moment?

I gave the game a rest during phase 3 of WotLK. Came back a week or two into Cataclysm and decided it was time to level a Blood DK for tanking dungeons. I’ve always found tanking to be the more enjoyable thing, spent years playing DPS and after a while the big numbers don’t excite me anymore, and healing just isnt something that appeals to me.

Now, I start this DK. I’m also leveling alts with friends as well, and in EVERY dungeon, theres at least 1 DPS running ahead and pulling, dying, and then expecting me to pick up the full room’s worth of mobs. I’m by no means picking up too few mobs, in BC dungeons im picking up at least 8 mobs per room. So why is it that in every single dungeon I get some DPS (usually a worgen DK or Mage) trying to throw themselves into the pit.

In the past there was obviously a few like this, we all know them. But it is happening every single time I enter the queue without fail on every single alt.

I had a mage a couple days ago in Hellfire Ramparts running ahead and basically half second casting blizzard on every mob in the vicinity, and then begging us to kick them so they could avoid the penalty. And since then, the leveling experience has just been one ballache after another to the point where I just end up clicking Exit Game for a few hours until I’m willing to put myself through it again.

It’s legitimately ruining the experience for me.

If you want an answer then you should try moving your post to the Cataclysm forums. You can do that by using the pencil icon.

Consequences of easy content, both in WLK, Remix, SoD, and Cata.
Leveling dungeons are particularly pathetic across all editions.
And now Remix proves it’s all people want. Brainless zerg.

Combined with an endless drive for efficieny. More xp per hour, gold per hour, gems per hour, everything per hour. Per minute. Per second.

And the removal of the resource system. By Cataclysm, oddball cases aside, mana is deleted. Area effects rule. As a tank you’re supposed to pull everything and let the mage solo it while you kite.

Yes, I hate it. :wink:

Some people here will convince you that it´s completely normal behaviour and that you are actually at fault here. Those are the same people who are defending dungeon leavers :slight_smile:

In other words. The lowest of the low.
