Suggestion: Require Tank Stance On to Enter Queue

[Veritas-Ancora]

Depending on your queue, your tank stance is removed if there's a level change. The benefits to tank stance is knowing if your tank is awake and aware. The other issue is that tanks like jumping into dungeons without the stance and hoping to be OT for trials.

- Make tank stances L15 (they should learn it early any ways).
- Give an error if the stance is not on, unable to queue (ensures they're awake).
- Start each dungeon with it turned on (no second-guessing).

Uh, then acn smn and sch have to have their pets out before queue also. While we are at this, i think your gear should be over 80% condition to queue as well, regardless of class or job. Also protect has to be on the cross role bar for healers, and diversion for all dps you know, to make sure theyre awake/aware.

There's actually already a prompt warning a player that they are queuing with heavily damaged gear. I think the threshold is lower than 80%, though. I only saw it because I queued for a chocobo race with low-durability culinarian gear (which obviously shouldn't actually trigger the alert). And it would be nice if the player had to actually process the warning before the queue was actually triggered, lest the player be forced to choose between declining a ready queue or just accepting the state of their gear.

To the point, though, I would not support forcing players to use any particular stance in order to queue. I do, however, like the idea of a prominent alert when a stance is clearly missing (such as a paladin using neither sword oath nor shield oath despite being of sufficient level).

They should also add function where if there not wearing tank armor that they can't queue up as one. Seen bunch tanks wear dps or caster gear to boost up there ilvl to enter a dungeon. Makes it very hard when in 2 hits there almost dead because of it.

I don't really think this is needed. The only QoL feature that could be added would be to not remove stances if you're synced unless you're synced below the level at which you acquire them.

Can't say how many times I queue in as an AST and the level sync kicks my sect off and it takes me a minute to realize that my Aspected Benefics are doing jack all.

And when the Dps have a bad Dps, but the heal can heal me withouth tank stance on the boss, I will not have to swap in stance Dps for PL, these dumb Dps ?
