Coincounter & aggro rippoffs

Nothing to say against, but I've noticed the aggro with Coincounter is a bit odd at times, dunno why but suddenly my aggro as a Tank is either reduced or resetted at odd points of the fight even if I was spamming the aggro combo just fine, a melee DPS sometimes ends up ripping it off of me.

So if you were already taking things off the Tank just by doing normal stuff, paying a closer look to the aggro meter for this fight may actually help you deal with situations like this O_o;; (well, except when they are hit by the carrousel-of-the-trololol-wipes)

I asked why the tank was losing aggro to me, which he responded with "maybe there's a reason "

Just as an FYI, Coincounter does have a hate reset move. The text "Coincounter is reconsidering his options" or something to that effect will show up and that causes a enmity reset on the party. This is usually followed up by an attack (I can't recall the name) where he fires a 270 degree ranged AoE towards a random player before resuming normal attacks. This is the opportunity for Tank to reestablish hate.

So, the DRK in question isn't necessary wrong with his (admittedly Sassy) comment about "maybe there's a reason ". Was still a terrible tank for the rest of the run though, looking at it.

its the 270 degree ranged AoE

Oh so its that one, thanks, had troubles pinpointing it :v (cuz every time I went for it again forgot to recheck)

That's strange. In my entire time of playing this game, I never lost aggro to anyone during Eye of the Beholder whenever I tanked Aurum Vale. Maybe I take my usual routine for granted during that fight, but Coincounter wouldn't attack anyone else unless it was to target a random player with Glower or Eye of the Beholder. Not to mention that I got aggro several GCDs before Coincounter "reconsiders" anything on at least two of the four wipes. Reflecting on it now, I believe the tank's comment was a jab against my assistance with DPS, even though the tank and NIN were being idiots getting one-shotted by 100-tonze Swing. I do not think it has to do with an aggro reset (if there is one), but what you said is interesting. I'll pay more attention to it.

Regardless, that tank was dreadful to heal. I'm glad that my vote kick passed and was able to get a FC mate to make things more smooth yet exciting.
