Just did FoK Hardmode and everything was pretty easy until the last bos hit and still was not that hard... But that is where things got bad. I play a beserker and i am already every tanks most hated man. I have but one question?

How do beserkers do FoK HM without getting kicked for ANY REASON. I got hit a couple times on the last boss because my block is not a tanks block and they tell me to take less damage mind you im not missing my block he just spins behind me or it goes right through it... Mind you the Slayer is dieing up a storm... I have 1 Dodge and i have to be charging to use it... So... WTF.

I stack back attack crit crystals, a combat speed crystal, and have my fiery rage glyphed for speed, plus dash. It helps fight the stigma of "You're too slow.", and with my 75k HP I do fine against whatever gets through my block. Also, I do runs mostly with guildies, so I can avoid the occasional zerkism hate.

Yeah i feel that if i had Guildies this would not have happened it's just very annoying to be so hated :(

First off, you are NOT every tanks "most hated man." I am a lancer and have NEVER kicked a zerker. With a zerker in my group I still have a 50/50 chance of getting the loot, IF I roll on it, which more than likely I won't because, well, I'm a tank and get instant queues and probably already have the gear I need. The only problem I have with melee dps in general is when they get in the damn way and/or box me in. Really annoying.

Second, getting kicked for taking avoidable, excessive damage to the face, multiple times, is hardly "any reason." You're right, your block is NOT a tanks block, so why are you trying to block a bosses attack that kills you or causes you to take unacceptable damage instead of watching for the tell and moving? This isn't WoW. Dps actually have to be competent in this game. A tank must pull and threaten/get aggro correctly; apply, keep track of and reapply de-buffs; be ready to 1-on-1 the boss if everyone is dies; interrupt and control/position the boss, etc. etc. Everyone who messes with the rhythm deserves a warning or kick. Dps's job is to NOT get aggro and stay out of the damn way while dpsing and AVOIDING the bosses attacks by knowing the boss patterns. I am aware each dungeon/encounter is different and the amount of "unavoidable" damage will vary from fight to fight. But, if you're taking so much damage that you're dying repeatedly, or the healer is complaining, then you are doing something wrong.

Make sure you are using boss damage reduction crystals and have a few health pots handy.

Save dodge for the whirlwind after he pulls his scythe out of the ground or try to dodge the thing that pulls the entire party in.

The red eye whirlwind never goes through block if you get hit by it then you took too long to hit block.

You can block the whirlwind he does when he pulls his weapon out of the ground by taking a few steps back.The last tick hits you in the back if you are too close if you stand far enough away you can block the entire attack

The healer should be able to heal through he damage the aoe circles do through block most of the time its like 5-8k so feel free to run in those for more dps as long as you are able to block before they tick.
