This also applies to tanks telling the DPS how to do their jobs when they themselves have never played a single other class.

Also, as a BRD, I have only ever kited a single mob around if I deemed the tank was not geared enough to tank more than 2 at a time. (This was usually only in lowbie dungeons w/ PLD/GLA's) OR if the tank died and it was the only way to save everyone else. Sorry but at that point it becomes live or die. If my kiting and fighting saves us and the melee cant hit, suck it up and deal with it, atleast you'll have lived.

SO, if you want healing in a fate invite the WTM to your party ;P

---

You will never get credit for a fate if YOU LET EVERYONE DIE BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO BUSY SPAMMING STONE. So sorry, I don't buy that as a legit excuse :P

Bards who use ballad and keep it active when everyone's MP is nearly 100% anyway..
WHMs who medica II/regen before pulls

Scholars who try to "help" me stoneskin the party.

And neither will you get credit if you only heal during fates. You may not find it a legit excuse but healers want their fare share of the reward for their work as well.
Btw, don't count on random healers just healing you when you are doing fates.

Likely mentioned but worth mentioning again: tanks that pull with provoke.

This was based on a Brayflox run. I actually wiped a few times because the SCH would not heal at all. I had to demand a heal when I got down into double digit hp (I was tanking)

Unfortunately the fairy trick doesnt quite work there IMO.

i cant even count the times when a pally or scholar do stone skin while im whm. i can only say they might not know that it gets a boost from whm, so instead of 10% its 18%.

I play BRD and I have a general rule.. I'll stand till my health goes under half, then I run and kite because that means the healer isn't even bothering healing me. What annoys me are healers that choose to focus only on the tank and ignore the fact that there are other players in the party as well.

I often pull with provoke, just because I can pull further with that ^^
ofc I launch right away a tomahawk, I'm not a complete idiot


On subject,
1) dps who go all out on AoEs before I can use flash/overpower
2) healers who only spam medica2/cure3, especially on Titan HM. If you want to tank, pick a tank.
3) triple flare BLM. sure it's great for dps, sure. But you'll get killed.

=> more generally, dps doing idiotic stuff, like kiting when I'm alive.. Not concentrating on their hate generation, not caring of marking... I could sum it up by one statement : I hate dps not doing their job.
*hint* It's not only killing mobs fast



One thing that I see but which amuses me more than I hate it : undergeared tanks trying to fight for hate. It's fun to see them rage when I put off tanking stance and still survive and tank better than they do.

fact is, you shouldn't have to kite, because you shouldn't be tanking anything. If you're being attacked by a mob, you're doing your dps job wrong (or your tank died, but that's an other problem)
