Please Let Us Keep Tank Stance When We Level Sync

I would like to suggest a quality of life change, that being letting tanks keep their tank stance when they level sync.

DPS and Healers I'd believe would agree to this.

Seen a couple tanks dive in and oops the last few days. Its not a terrible problem, but it isn't terribly rare either.

I would leave it as a gimmick.

That way you will know which tank has tunnel vision. :p

I died in doma castle earlier lvling BLM.

Triple cast Flare Flare and then imploded. Pld forgot to toggle shield oath back on. I vote for this change.

I'm much tank and I use Stance. But, I think other tanks forgot it or dunno what it was

I will say as someone new to tanking I agree with this. I got thrown into a low level dungeon last night and felt like a one-legged man in a button kicking contest with my 2-3 buttons I had available.

When entering a dungeon I will habitually check my tank stance anyway, and I think everyone should, but this is an annoying issue when it comes to FATEs. Syncing down to a FATE will instantly remove your tank stance, and you may have just put it on so you might not notice or it'll interrupt your flow.

are you saying you're forgetting to put on tank stance when you enter the dungeon? it almost sounds like level syncing removes our Tank stance from being available..

Seriously, I thought this was fixed a while ago.

Level sync removing buffs as a whole is tiresome, but I'm gonna guess it happens because extra coding would be required for level sync to only remove buffs that are over the level that you sync to (which is what *should* happen)

Guys, we cannot have this!!! Why? Because this would make too logical of a sense from the developers. Game developers are not here to make sense till well after it becomes useless.

On a serious note, I been wishing this since 2.0.

YESSS PLEASE! It's soo annoying!

the expansion just dropped and ya'll are already complaining about having to pay attention? christ, just double check when you load in it's not rocket surgery.

It's not just on "loading in", it's every time you level sync.

Such as when grinding FATEs, something this expansion actively encourages with the shared FATE system.

Let's not defend annoyances.

Tanks forgetting about tank stance should be ashamed of themselves.

When i enter a duty, i even reset the tank stance even if i have it on.

Yes, how dare players of this game be human and overlook things easy to overlook, such as a buff wearing off that normally doesn't wear off. Dishonor!

...Ok? Are you seriously here blowing your own trumpet over something like this?

This would be awesome, yes, yes :D!

Probably an entirely different sort of solution needed for this one but I'd love for the dance partner mechanic to not be removed from chocobo when mounting/unmounting :3.

So turn it on? Im not defending anything, its just a weird thing to complain about when its solved by literally pressing a button when you sync. Even in fates its a non issue you can easily pull a fate boss/ fate enemies off any dps or healer in less than 4 gcds after you turn on tank stance.

Is it annoying? Yes. Is it an actual problem? No.

This has been a long time problem that needs adjustment.

The way I see it, a low level buff that is a percentage modifier shouldn't be falling off for sync reasons. Tanks, DPS, and Healers all want this. It hurts no one to make this little change.

You just hit a single button to reapply it though.

Definitely agree. It’s especially annoying when doing fates and actually trying to tank things.

Sorry but there's no excuse to say "It's just one button" or "Tanks should pay attention", when the same thing happened with the old tank stances and then they fixed it too.

please for the love of bob. if the content allows it to be on, then allow it to remain on

It's easy to forget to turn tank stance back on but at the same time you should notice right away if you're getting a lot less enmity than usual.

Yeah. Now and then It'll slip past me, especially if I just did another duty and had it on, but I always notice on the first pull if it's off.

Do tank stances not auto learn by the way? i've noticed alot of new tanks in ifrit/titan and low level dungeons who never put it on and go huh? when you mention the tank stance, as if they don't have it yet

If they're not auto learned, they 100% need to be since enmity combos are gone

No kidding. Nobody is talking about how hard it is to do, they're talking about how annoying it is to do/remember.

Don't confuse difficulty with tedium, that's a common sin around here.

I think all tank stances are level 10 now

It's auto-learned, they're just being new lol. Maybe kindly direct them to their spell list :P. It'll be their level 10 skill (and is named something different for each tank).

Did OP stated that it is anooying? Yes. Did OP state that it's a actual problem? No.
If they ever accept this suggestion, are you the one that is going to create a thread to revert the changes? No? Then stop right here hypocritical attention hunter. You're most certainly going to hide yourself in a corner and say "thank god this change" and then show in this forum "bla bla y'all complaining about little details, stop wasting dev time with quality of life let's just suffer every time more until it's an actual problem". Pathetic.

lmao who pissed in your cheerios this morning, dude? I'm hypocritical and an attention seeker because i replied to a thread?

If they changed it tomorrow i probably wouldnt even notice, much less make a thread about it or say "thank god, i dont have to press a button in this video game."

Hate to break it to you homie, but there are a ton more quality of life issues i'd sooner see adressed than something that literally cannot turn into an "actual problem."

look at your buff bar when you load in or sync down. Turn it on if its off. Easy peasy. Its not like you gotta play the piano to turn on a stance. Its one button.

I dont have to agree with you to post my opinion in a thread on a public forum and you dont have to agree with me.

I would suggest tanks just be more aware. Why do people think they need to be protected from thier own laziness?

The ironic thing here is that if we were back in 2.x, I bet you would be among the healers complaining about having to put Cleric Stance back up on every FATE.

notice this isnt limited to level sync.
went in as Lv71 on my friends account, and tank stance was turned off in the 1st SH dunegon.
I wasnt synced down, i WAS the entry level.
every time i went in, it was turned off.
it turns off no matter what.

Then make your own thread about how devs should spend their time because obviously what you want should take top priority.

Jesus everytime someone ask for something they deem handy you have that kind of guy.

Ask for a way to disable fc invite because you're getting spam?

No man we already have /busy.

Why would i make my own thread when all i have to say on the matter is "just turn on tank stance when you notice its not on"? I'm allowed to comment in threads wothout agreeing with the OP. And amazingly I never said, "its something i dont want to see changed" I simply said "ya' l are making a mountain out of a molehill, theres other things to talk about other than something thats been around since ARR."

Its fine if you forget to press a button every now and then, its not a huge deal, yall are out here making threads about old news, though instead of saying "oops" and turning it on.
