PSA: How to Off-Tank in World of Darkness

[Ashkendor]

Except I have taken hate off both war and pld by going all out on sword oath, thanks to penta melded 110, so even if "mt" is in a tank stance, I can still take off them, it's even easier now that I have zeta

Yep. I have the exact same problem ever since I went to penta-melded i110 accessories. This is why I prefer WAR for OT duty even though I'm a PLD main. All PLD has is the RoH combo, but WAR can spam their Maim combo to their heart's content. If I manage to pull hate off of the main tank when I'm out of Defiance and using SP/SE, I'm not really sure what to say except that the MT must be seriously undergeared.

Every run of wod, minus 1 or 2, nobody wants to mt. There's just something about aether, or just what I've participated in recently, that's made us want to stop taking charge in there. Could be that everyone is tired if the hate fight and all tanks I run with are welcoming that OT roll.

Depending on how the earlier pulls go, I'll tell the tanks just to take the stance off for Cloud, because I'll taker her anyways, and let me mt, and that's usually because I've consistently taken hate, or close enough I had to stop, that if I went all out, I would take hate and tank anyways, tank stance or not

I'm tired of the hate fight after the previous two 24 man raids. I seriously gave up on MT'ing them; I just let the baddies that are gonna fight me for aggro anyway have it, and I DPS and do the clean up work with adds. I'm that kind of tank that grabs all six ninjas in the first trash room and stacks them on the dragon, etc. I guess I just enjoy OT more than MT. MT is piss easy in this content anyway. "Hey you, stand here and get hit and don't move the boss around too much." OK, I'll establish hate then go grab a drink... >.>

I forget - is your server in a JP datacenter?
