Seconded.
Whoever mentioned Tanks not using Flash, also seconded.
All of these traits in one tank actually made me rage-quit at the start of a Brayflox (nm) run earlier today. I almost never rage-quit unless I'm dealing with griefers or trolls.![]()

'Have you ever noticed that sometimes when you cry no one sees your tears, sometimes when you're sad no one understands your pain, sometimes when you're happy no one sees your smile, but you just have to fart once and everyone knows?'
Bards who sing requiem with no caster... Like GD read your skill!
WHM who never use SoS when it's up and ask for ballad...
Warriors who stay at 5 wrath forever...
Tanks who walk up to enemies to pull (F***ING #1 PET PEEVE USE YOUR TOMAHAWK/SHIELD LOB!!!!1!!!!1!)
After a run in cutters cry yesterday. A blm that only casts blizzard III
ACNs that won't put away their Topaz Carbuncle when asked by the tank/entire freaking group. Yes, that nice your shiny new gold carbuncle can tank things in the first three dungeons. However, I'm trying to learn how to tank here. Kinda hard when I'm having to fight the radioactive squirrel for agro. What? No? Wonderful. You plan on being a SMNs? Great. Chalk up another idiot that give us SMNs a bad name.
Most of the time later dungeons will slap this notion that their tank pet can tank all the things right out of them when their party gets sick of them dying every freaking pull trying to pull that crap in, say, Qarm. Problem here is that qualifier "usually".
Whowowow, wheres the failure in this, I mostly do this.
Because when the Mobs spots you it sprints up to you, you get them with one single Flash.
Shield Lobbing is a waste of TP and a GCD when encoutering groups of mobs...
That´s the easy way of tanking, walk in, Flash once, maybe twice if one was out of range, ... then, usually flash a third time and go roll a cigarette ^^ DDs never get their aggro back...
where we come to the main annyoing point of Bard,s ;-) attacking immedeatly, the wrong mob (the one not shield lobbed) or going full out before Tank´s Flash event goes out.
Bards tend to prove their elitism by annoying the tanks and pull aggro off them.. blaming them for not holding aggro.
Never a mind was changed on an internet board, no matter how good your arguments are...
because that LNC deal awesome one shot dmg ? come on even a caster can tank that bastardOK, serious question: should I not be kiting the Lancer at the end of Halatali HM? When I have run it, it has targeted me, and I felt the right thing to do was kite it. I can keep doing damage and not take any, and even solo him this way.
Should I stand still instead?

I do agree on this, but being a tank doesn't give you credit for doing the exact same thing. For that matter, as DPS I usually don't fight those 'spiritbonding mobs'. I mean, you're supposed to tank, not to decide on your own the flow / objectives of the run. Parties are comprised of more than 1 member, but tanks tend to forget it...
English is not my mother language. I'm trying to do my best, so please don't be rude...

When I'm doing any run, as an obviously experienced player and people try telling me when to LB or what mob to focus on etc .
I already know, I know better than you....
I commend your effort with language!
- Tanks who don't know in which order to mark mobs.
-Tanks who decide to run straight in to that mob in Lost city without letting ranged dps do their jobs and take out the white mage stones first.
- Tanks who don't know which mobs can be slept and mark a sleepable mob as first in kill order leaving instead of the non sleepable one. E.g. always going for the ahriman ahead of the soul in ak when the eye can be slept but not the soul.
-Tanks who think they need to tank all the things rather than just avoiding the time consuming trash that can be avoided.
- Tanks who blame failure on slow dps when I'm using quelling strikes and still almost pulling hate from them.
- People who repeatedly run the mob past the blm interrupting their cast. Particularly annoying when you're trying to save their ass with sleep.
Right now my most feared tank skill is: leaving the dungeon for no or silly reasons. This skill has only a 30 min cooldown and works INSTANTLY when casted.
