Post your tanking derps and herps here!

[Selli]

This isn't mine specifically, I main WHM and whenever I attempt to PLD it's pretty disastrous. But my boyfriend mains PLD and his derps are by far my favorite.

1) We were in t12 and we had LB2, so he starts yelling at our static NIN to LB. But before he can, a tank LB goes out. Our monk started going absolutely mental on our WAR. After a moment of silence, my boyfriend says sheepishly, "That was me, guys... my bad."

2) My boyfriend really likes to stance dance in t13 . He often goes Sword Oath when he has Hallowed up or while Earthshakers are going off. One time we wiped in the middle of Earthshakers and he pulled, with Sword Oath, and nearly died to the first Flatten... every single hit. As his WHM and girlfriend, I did the logical thing and screamed at him to turn Shield Oath on, only to see the damn dragon come at me and sit on my little WHM face.

Switched from healing to tanking for zodiac runs, despite not having much experience. Took about 20 tam taras and snowcloaks, so I was getting a bit more comfortable with tanking/large pulls. I decided to make a hallowed ground macro, then made on for raise/res as well while my friend was away. He got back, we queued up, got hullbreaker, which I hadn't tanked before.

I warned the party I was new and was only planning on doing one group at a time. The scholar and summoner seemed a bit impatient, and I did dumb things like ran into a trap. I had a hard time holding aggro, so when we got to the second boss, the summoner left without a word. That's when I noticed it.. I forgot to put shield oath on after doing macros and no one said anything.

My previous static/FC when I still was in Hyperion, usually used the phrase "Pulled a Lucille". Why? Well, it was Titan ex back in the day. I was pretty confident about it. However, because mistakes happen, our OT flied away with a landslide. The add, which was still alive, decided to attack the healer. I move forward, I shield lob it, Titan turns back and uses mountain buster, wiping most of my group. That happened like 3 times in Titan ex but under different circunstances. One of these times was when I tried to adjust its position. It happened a lot of times with Nael back in the day. Megaflare happens, I space out, Nael lands right in the middle of the group while I have all my group yelling at me saying things about how they met my mother. Eventually I stopped doing it, with more discipline and stuff, but it was hilarious and I kinda enjoyed it.

Wow. Just had a CRACKER! Bit tired....that's my excuse. Doing Cutters Cry for books. Run went smooth, all good till last boss (chimera). I had watched a video to prepare, it said blue eyes range attack and purple eyes gather on boss. I muffed it completely as in the fight it says violet, not purple....died twice and was raised, died again....wipe. But that's not the best bit. So I run back, get to the boss again, charge him and tomahawk and start fight. No party. I can see them all on the ledge, but no one in the pit with me. I assume they are all mad with me and are not going to help. Fine, I think, I will try and bloody solo him! Gave it a fair crack too, surprised myself. Lasted about 5 minutes, party still on the ledge watching. As I died again, I realised I had locked them out...I offered profuse profuse apologies, we hit the boss again and I realised purple=violet, the mensa member I am. We knocked him over simple then..But was a quality derpy herp!

lol In Wanderers palace (hard) I pulled three mobs and managed to keep hate for a couple of secs before i realized that i didnt have shield oath on. Needless to say the dps died lol. But i was quick to recover so the only people that matter in the party survived i.e tank/healer ahahaha

For future ref: Cover the person who pulled hate -> switch to Shield -> Spam Flash like it's the only button on your hotbar. Though I'm not sure how a DPS managed to die to 3 mobs. o,o

Cover is the only skill I have macro'd, so that it targets <t> and then <tt>. That way you don't even have to stop looking at the enemies to get that guy covered. Cut my teeth doing that during Captain Madison in Sastasha HM. Works wonders.

Normally in keeper of the lake for the first dragon I'll grab the add and tank it 90 degrees the yellow dragon that way it's positioned in such a way that I no one has to move at all or worry about getting cleaved, and just let dps have the add when the blue dragon is up. After not running dungeons for a weeks I thought I do an exp roulette late one night get to the final boss, kill the first dragon and then while killing the second the add spawns and then try to handle it like the first. Dragon Rime Wreathes everyone away from the shield generator just as it's about to be activated after realizing what I've done the aoe goes off killing everyone before I could get the dragon away.

Was Off tanking t10 as paladin.Went to soak wild charge. Forgot to get back in shield oath. Got wrecked hard.

I reached level 44 back then, queueing for Darkhold while looking at a guide for it because I heard it's the 1st dungeon in the game that has many mechanics which tank should know before hand to lead the team...and the pt log popped right before i can read the guide up to the 1st boss.
I went it, and I derped so hard without knowing everything, wiping for 45min - 1 hour

Next is Garuda story mode, dun even know how to dodge AoE skill that dun have an indicator from boss, wipe for another 30-45 minutes.
