Worst thing I've done was tell a person he'll stay dead if he deliberately allows himself to die due to face tanking mechanics again. Minor arguments here and there, but nothing that'd involve justification for me being kicked from a run or something.

[Celaine]

Hmm. The worst? I was leveling PLD which I really do not enjoy. Got SV with a dragoon that would not stop running ahead and pulling crap to drag to me. I finally got fed up and asked him to stop. He then proceeded to pull the second boss. I stepped back out of the boss room, let the door lock me out and watched the rest of the party wipe.

You spank it, you tank it.

Once someone said something like "Wow, can you actually learn to tank?"

Popped Raw Intuition and turned to face them as I immediately was cut down, "Yeah, learn to heal first." was my response. They left.

I got kicked from a SV HM. Only time I've ever been kicked aside from power outages that are more than five minutes, my patience was wearing thin with baby pulls on my SCH and I "face pulled" some mobs. Tank got irked, my internet blinked, and they probably jumped at the chance to kick me.

Back in 2.0 when I was either leveling GLA for provoke or just leveling Warrior to get some Tanking experience for the expansion (and faster expert roulette)I qued up for Tam Tara on my leveling roulette which was going fine until the healer decided to leave out of the blue. Not a problem though, because a Scholar showed up right away and we were at the Boss door anyways, so I decide to pull since everyone was there. Well, I noticed that I'm taking a lot of damage and getting like no heals... I forgot to let the Scholar summon a pet (which he let me know as I died.)

That was my first embarrassing newb/noob low level tanking experience. Thankfully, I have improved.

I've just got the mental image of you pulling down some dark shades and uttering the phrase. "Deal with it." and low and behold I just looked at your current profile pic with the dark shade son, that is priceless xD

This is something my boyfriend and I did and I think it's one of the worst things we've ever done.

We were in ST (back when it was the latest 24man) and I was on my SCH and he was on WHM (we like to switch it up). He and I are both switching in and out of Cleric, healing and DPSing and being totally in sync. We had one melee DPS who wasn't dodging things and dying, but other than that our party was pretty good.

And then this melee DPS is like, "This WHM really sucks. Please play better. " We ignore it 'cause we just assume this guy is salty. Ignoring him makes him angrier and he's starting to throw insults at my boyfriend. We try to vote kick and it doesn't go through.

So the boss gets pulled and my boyfriend says, "How about we just don't heal him?"

So I unsummon my fairy and we stop healing this guy. He dies. I resummon my fairy. Complains in Alliance chat and demands heals because his healers aren't healing him. The other Alliances can't be bothered to deal with this drama, so they don't. We kill Amon without him and move to the final boss. Our PLD turns out to be, the DPS's friend, cross-classes Cure and starts to heal his friend and riot blade the boss. He's also now throwing insults at the two of us. So my boyfriend and I stop healing him too.

This DPS explodes into a rage. Swearing at the both of us, threatening to come find us and kill us. All sorts of really nasty stuff. The party is thoroughly annoyed by all this they're like, "Dude, you kinda deserve it for being a dick for no reason. Our bad for not kicking you. Yes, these healers are being kind of overdramatic, but you need to chill out."

So this guy starts swearing at the rest of the party too! When we finish the raid, he continues to scream and complain and hold up the loot rolls so he can keep us--and the whole party there hostage as he continues. I'm pretty sure he got reported or something 'cause after about 2 minutes, he suddenly disappears from the run mid insult.

I am definitely not proud of it, I wouldn't call it a shining example of maturity (though we did try! We ignored him and he continued anyway). But I find the whole mess really funny now, since it happened well over a year ago. I guess this is also a PSA that, maybe if your healers have the same last name, don't insult one/both of them 'cause they are probably a couple/friends and will probably stop healing you? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (I'm stealing your emote, ReiRei and you can't stop me!)

In my head it definitely looked more like this.

When I was title hunting, and wanted the one for having all ARR relics.
MNK and WAR were still missing as I have never touched those classes since 1.x
Slapped on some makeshift gear and jumped straight into Titan, Ifrit and Garuda anyway.

My basic tanking instinct saved me from completely embarrassing myself on WAR which went surprisingly smooth,
but I might as well have rolled my face over the keyboard for MNK. Especially during Titan, after like the 5th raise or something I told the healer to just stop wasting her MP on me.

I'm the first to complain about people entering duties without any knowledge of their class, or without appropriate gear, for that matter. But I just couldn't be arsed to learn the entire class for this ONE quest..u,U

I never do anything that can be considered bad or wrong, with maybe one exception.

If I'm a tank, I let die every DPS/healer who pulls before me because they're trying to force a speedrun. "Not in my run, boy" Well, I don't do it always, only sometines when I'm sick of idiots speedrunnig every sinlge fucking thing in the game and complaining because "it is too slow". I usually end with a "You like tanking? :3"
