Going on Week 3 of doing a Bunker run a day in the hopes of my tank chest.
This is the first time in the past two and a half weeks that I've seen all three of the robots get Interrupted properly. I was starting to believe no one could pull such an easy task off anymore, but my faith in humanity is renewed... until tomorrow, anyway. QvQ
As an aside, feels weird to have the old one closed because of 'forum load times'. Never noticed any trouble with loading the forum nor the thread, and it isn't like closing it is going to magically make all of those pages go away, just make it drop off the front page. But I suppose better locked than deleted.

A legit question that requires the great minds of Eorzea.
Ready?
Can I turn off tank stance each time a healer cast regen pre pull? -

And it's not great to waste a GCD casting Kardia on the end of a wall-to-wall when I can be doing other things to save you and the DPS from death.Quote:

If the WHM's regen makes it too hard to grab stuff, click it off after they cast it, the fact they did it likely means they won't notice. You could nicely request they hold it until you stop running too.
But please don't turn off your tank stance. It's a bad habit that will hurt your Sages. -

This is from the previously closed thread (RIP TfDF 1.0., you’ll be missed!)
@SenorPatty:
I recalled which one you’re talking specifically. I knew bunch of such individual exist, but to see it with our own eyes. It’s just incomprehensibly beautiful.Quote:
There was a newbie here on the forums and he made this thread, explaining how he first played a tank, then he leveled up a healer and he finally understood why tanks pulled wall to wall. Like the revelation at how boring it was to heal single pulls blew his mind and that he could never go back to single pulls as a tank now. He then added how it helped him do better mitigation as a tank too.
I'm not saying I cried-cuz that would be exaggerating-but it was such a magical moment in the forums. Imagine: a sprout who wants to go beyond his comfort zone and expand his horizons. Beautiful.
I mean you could. But that’s on the borderline of grieving I believe…Quote:

There was one time somebody threw a fit because I click it off but at the same time they also finally learned why they got hit so much & apologized afterward. It was a refreshing sight. -
02-03-2022, 01:00 PMShibiAnd in a plain old dungeon run where you won't be needing it for weak bosses, Superbolide is in fact awesome mitigation. More GNB need to use it. Free 10 seconds mitigation at the start when it's needed most, and after the 10, followed by Arms Length+whatever.Quote:

Just had a very wholesome Sastasha run with a trio of new players. The tank was a bit nervous, but he learned quickly. When I offered him a little challenge - pull everything in the big room after the first Captain fight - he did it and handled it very well. Proud of ya, kid. Proud of ya.
