Extremely agitated: question about T9

[Eidolon]

I thought it was standard for a DPS to pick up the Blue Golem? Even in a 2-tank strat. I always pick it up whenever I play DPS (BRD, NIN, DRG, BLM).

So, basically, here's what it is:

In two tank strategy, your DPS doesnt' pick up an add. The PLD+WAR handle the one the PLD+DPS usually pick up.

In one Tank strategy, like you said, a DPS needs to be willing to pick it up. For the Red Golem, your prioty should be BRD > Any Melee > BLM > SMN. The reason SMN is lowest on this list is because they have the most delayed threatgen - they need to get full DoT's off to pull threat, and a higher-geared WHM will pull threat faster than they might be able to get them up.

BRD is the universally accepted picker-up #2. The reason for this is so they can silence the Blue golem after they recieve the new orders.

A DRG won't tank unless explicity told to. Switching a melee off green is just asking for 2x green golems.
