I did a run of Haukke NM earlier though. My tank was a lv29 MAR... She didn't know how to hold hate at all. I even marked the Jester during the second boss but she ignored it and tanked the Steward while the BRD tanked the Jester. >_> I don't think she was doing her enmity combo at all either, and I never saw Overpower... Our DPS was really high though so the dungeon wasn't too bad.

Nothing having to do with the skill of the tank in question, but at level 29 a Marauder doesn't have the full Butcher's Block combo.

Full combo or not, I don't think they were using any enmity attacks. They would lose enmity so fast it was unreal. And that still doesn't explain the no use of Overpower.

And no, they weren't new. They knew the dungeon and we didn't have a bonus.

Seems like I have a horror story every day to tell XD

Just came out of DREx, got Arboreteum. Not once did the tank use any defensive GCDs. Not once did I ever see her use Blood Price. Her MP was near constant zero after the first boss, which meant an Unleash only when she had MP, and aggro was flying all over the place. We completed the dungeon with a very angry AST storming out of there before anyone could say "thank you, good game".

Its not exactly a horror story but.. :s After sitting for 1h in rav df I decided to try n get some loot from alex, I ticked all and just waited. I was AST with ready Balance+spread combo so despite thinking it was proly as bad idea cuz I'd run into another AST here 99.99%. And oh boy it happened, we were AST/AST in a2. Both Diurnal, I kinda shrugged it off and just started usual heal/dps game hoping he would see what Im doing (as he seemed to be afk or smth for 1st trash pull) or he'd start dps'ing and I'll do the healing. Nope. At boss I switched to Noct (-_-') and proceeded to heal/dps. He was only using benefic/benefic2 and was overriding my every. single. card. I toss extended Arrow to BLM, time dilation it and he overrides it by normal mana card. He managed to override spreaded Balance by spreaded Bole. All my attempts to throw cards after he throws his were futile :'(
So my fellow AST, y u do dis to me? ;_;
*Also overall dps was low and DRK was 2nd best dps after NIN so we saw some intense phase mashing :s

This other AST Smells like a troll. Then again this isn't savage so maybe he missed the memo that card buffs can be overidden

They probably did leveling roulette and were hoping for something a lot lower.

also could be bad RNG luck with drops

NOWAY. His gear was the same I had as a warrior at the end of ARR. He just probably had levelled up through MSQ roulette. ALL 110/120 and a few ironworks.

Ya know, everytime I hope for something lower, I get the Aery.

Tank decides to not use Defiance as a "challenge". Things got uneventful right off the start when he couldn't keep aggro, polite pointers to please use overpower / flash were rebuffed by "i know what i'm doing". Err... clearly you don't.

The rest of the run was a living disaster. Equally frustrating was teaching them how to kill the stone face thingees on the platforms. When the tank told me I wasn't using Benediction fast enough to save him from Final Sting, I snapped and quit the party, earning my penalty.

If that dumbass tank would have used Defiance, he would have had the stacks for Inner Beast which would have saved him from Final Sting.
