Post your tanking derps and herps here!

My PS3 controller died during the last boss in Cutters Cry. It took me about 10 seconds to realize why my character was stuck jogging in a large circle around the perimeter of the boss room. Took another 10-15 seconds to switch control over to my second controller, all the while doing this jog around the room while the boss chases me. Somehow, we survived

I've had a few accidental-lock-on-omg-wtf-did-I-press derps as well.

Same happened to me yesterday, but with wireless keyboard running out of batteries during a Garuda HM right after the pull. Fun xD

[Azoryl]

Tank all of AK without Sheild Oath.... never lost agro, but I kept wondering why I was taking so much damage.

[Acyd]

Pulling Ifrit with Regen on. Pull with toma, lose agro, provoke toma, Ifrit runs right back to WHM and beats his face in. Got called a Fail tank for that one.

[Warpune]

Tanking Ifrit HM with bronze dagger, oopsie

[Fyce]

Running CM as the OT.
Last boss final phase.
"Oh, she's about to do her big attack on the MT... I wonder what will happen if I use Cover on h-"
Insta Death.
Colossus pops.
Can't grab it because I'm laying on the ground.
Awesome healer throws a rez, I Provoke the big add and act like nothing happened.
Healers are still wondering why I died.


In my defense, the group was doing perfectly well. A bunch of Relic+1 and even a guy Lv50@class. The risk was worth the investigation.
Now I know.

Had a moment where During AK with my friends (all in vent) im saying middle middle middle for repel, except im the only one that doesn't go to middle and proceeded to get knocked off.

Had another one where i had my snow costume on and decided i was going to help someone with hydra, only problem was, i forgot to take the costume off and after i zone in, i realize i have to tank Hydra with the blazefire sword xD And i was the only tank in that run too.

ive had ALOT more but these are the only two that i remember lol

I showed Titan's heart my uncontainable jubilation a couple dozen times between smirking at him before we all wiped the first time my friends and I attempted Titan. Then there were those times I accidentally popped my Limitbreak in Haukke Manor when I was a noob and the party wiped due to adds. To my credit, we didn't wipe as fast as we would have without my limitbreak.

[Vortok]

Took me several runs of Praetorium before I figured out why Ultima Weapon (first fight) would suddenly ignore me at the start of the fight and chase the healers for awhile.

Stupid defensive buff making him take essentially no damage until Hydaelyn pimp slaps him once - hadn't noticed because I practically never look at my damage numbers, especially on bosses with large character models. Made a mental note to spam Flash at the start from now on. Should make for some interesting wipes for the incoming HM if he still has his defense buff. Also made a note to not blow threat cooldowns on the pull, heh.

[VisRalis]

I once pulled a boss with Piercing Talon.....

quickly realized I didn't have Heavy Swing

Tehe.

Wait, what?
Oh. Haha.
Wrong class!
