Post your tanking derps and herps here!

To each their own then...

just because it's the most common method doesn't mean it's the best, especially when the healer is new

Like everything else in this game, it depends on your party. If your healer is comfortable kiting all the adds around, go ahead and let them. If they run up to you (like a smart person who takes aggro when they want you to get it back) with all the adds running behind them, use flash like what, once? Twice? Boom.

I was playing with a fail tank who pulled the final boss of a dungeon without our healer, then votes to kick me after I point out you don't start without everyone even if they are in a cut scene. (He blamed them them for watching the cut scene) Kitru Kitera was his name, hope I don't end up in a party with him again. Acted noob, but thought he was pro and telling people what to do.

Forgot to turn on shield oath or sword oath the entire run in Stone Vigil. Idk how we beat it semi-smoothly

flash buff and a competent healer
possibly competent dps too

The times during tank swaps (Ultima HM, Ramuh EX, mainly) where I don't notice that I've hit tab target to the wrong mob and managed to Provoke an add instead >.< Sometimes it's salvagable, like in Ramuh, if I can voicechat with the other tank and tell them to overcharge to stay alive, but other times... Most likely a wipe.
(Sure, I have a quickbutton on my mouse for switching to focustarget, but I keep that focus on the other tank so I won't miss when I'm up ^^; )

I was running Haukke Manor with two of my friends in teamspeak. The healer was from DF. We were in the room where you go down to the basement fighting on the steps when I fell off the steps to the bottom of the room. I ran back up training all the mobs behind me and all the mobs that followed me. My friends and I all thought it was hilarious... the healer didn't

That feel when you Provoke a bulb..

[chidarake]

just the other day ran st without shield oath the entire time. mt the whole way.

god knows how I didnt lose hate at some point since I was only using the curtana novus and surely some dps were using nexus or better.

2 days later upgraded to my Excalibur, didn't even get to keep my nexus for 5mins after all that tanking work for the light too...



adding a bonus one from today now that I remember it, not that I can really forget.

levi ex pony farm, was tidying up a little waiting on group to form, after a few mins que pops so I auto click accept, all dressed to impress as pld,, then as pointed out to me I was actually suppose to be blm cus we already had two tanks and I pony farm as blm, so off we went to kill levi ex with 3 tanks me in sword oath the whole time.
