I need help plzzzzz. I am trying to tank Brayflox and have failed 6 times. I am Lv 37 with Lv 30 gear. I have seen some great tank work for this dungeon and have tried to emulate with no success! I am losing some of my pulls with a full hate bar? Don't know why and this contributes to the problems sometimes. I have even resorted to Flashing every 3 turns. I also seem to be made of paper. Also, are their certain enemies I should target first?
Tired of being called a sucky tank. I am no pro but I am not that bad either.
Any advice would be appreciated. Tired of needing vallum after playing this dungeon!!!

1. Upgrade your gear
2. Get to be Paladin in case you are not, yet.
3. Mark target to let dps focus on the mob you are attacking,
rotate combo to each mobs (press tab) to seal hate from healer but more attack on focus'ed target. Flash occassionally.
4. If you still feel fragile, ask WHM/BLM to sleep mobs. -

Did you unlock your job?
Did you do your level 30-35 quests for your job?
Make sure your gear is up to date. At level 35, you have acess to Heavy Steel armor. Make or buy a set of that. Also, make sure your jewelry is good. A full set of VIT jewelry adds a few hundred HP.
I'm assuming you're PLD. Shield Oath is level 40. Once you get it, you should have no troubles keeping on top of Hate Mountain. You may have to tell the DPS to slow down a bit because you don't have your Enmity stance. -

It can help on PLD to move from monster to monster applying your Rage of Halone combo on each on top of Flashing. Be sure you're riding your defensive cooldowns as well if you have more than 3-4 monsters per pull. Since you won't have Shield Oath yet for this dungeon you may want to keep the pulls smaller. Keep Sword Oath on at all times since you don't have Shield Oath and Sword Oath doesn't take away from your defensive ability. The first two bosses are self explanatory really in terms of tanking. Final Boss you want to keep moving it so it doesn't regen health standing in the green pools of acid spit.

If you have a Black Mage and/or White Mage, request they sleep the dragonflies. They hit too hard to tank straight up.
Level 35+ gear should help you do better as long as you use the Halone combo on each monster in each group. If you know someone who can craft the armor, by all means ask them.
Tanking Aiatar is really a matter of paying attention to where you are, anticipating where those pools of poison will land, and dragging him away from them. Tanking around the edge of the area is a common way to keep Aiatar honest. -

What server are you on? It could be a number of things that are causing problems, maybe even not entirely your fault.
I wouldn't mind running brayflox on my healer to help you out. -

maybe you only have some downscaled ilvl 100 dds with far superior dps then the usual lvl 30 guys
I've never seen a tank in a low ini who was able to hold hate in that case -
