You know what really grinds my gears?

[Mikazuki_Aura]

Healers

• Not seeing healer DoTs active on targeted mobs when party health is good.
• Not seeing Regen active on tanks with non-critical, but non-full HP.
• Seeing spammed Cure/Physick on party members with damaging status effects, but not at critical HP.
• Healers who think they're DPS, waiting until tank 10% HP before switching off Cleric stance and panicking with very strong heals.
• Healers who heal DPS before healing themselves and die as a result.
• Healers who put Regen on full-HP tanks before they pull.
• Spamming Medica II and then blaming the tank for not holding aggro against that.
• Healers without cross-classed Cleric stance.
• Not carrying Echo Drops or knowing how to use them.
• Healers who do nothing in the name of conserving MP. Placing DoTs and Regen will conserve more MP than doing nothing at all and panicking when the tank is nearly dead.

DPS

• Using single-target attacks on unmarked mobs, ignoring the marked one and dragging aggro off tanks.
• Bards and summoners who spam normal attacks and don't have DoTs up.
• Dragoons who spam interrupt skills for additional damage on targets that actually need to be interrupted, resulting in stun immunity when it actually counts.
• Dealing ranged damage to mobs before tanks do.
• Standing in front of mobs to attack them, instead of the rear.
• Standing behind mobs known to have reararc AoE, even after the AoE already displayed several times.
• Activating dungeon mechanics in the middle of mob fights, even though healers with the lower DPS value should normally do this instead if party health is good.
• Monks who don't ever change their position - especially if that position happens to be in front of a mob's face.
• Melee DPS who don't use LB for fights that have obvious DPS checks in the middle of dungeons.
• Ranged DPS who stand in the path of wandering mobs, drawing pointless mobs into a fight.
• Ranged/Magic DPS who use LB the moment it is charged even though a fight has an obvious DPS check, and a melee DPS is available.
• Any DPS who waits until 10% to use a LB middungeon, sacrificing all the LB points that could have been earned after that.
• Summoners who use Titan in group content.
• DPS who use single target attacks against pulls of 4+ mobs.
• DPS who use multiple target attacks against single mobs/bosses.
• DPS who pull 8 additional mobs into a tank's 4 mob pull, and then complain the healer is incompetent in the resultant wipe. You don't decide how big the pull is, the tank does.
• Not using Goad on low-TP tanks and then complaining they can't hold aggro.

Tanks

• Standing around waiting for 4 seconds before every mob pull just to mark a target. Put it on a keybind and mark during the range pull's cooldown before your AoE.
• Standing around doing nothing with full TP.
• Dark Knights zeroing their MP repeatedly for no reason.
• Paladins using cover on a Dark Knight MT.
• Offtanks who never use Provoke to swap in.
• Any tank who doesn't use defensive cooldowns at all until they're at 20% HP, and then blasting all cooldowns at once. It reduces damage by a %, your defensive cooldowns are not healing skills.
• Warriors who use Berserk just before a boss invuln phase starts, instead of timing it to end when the boss invuln phase starts.
• Tanks who keep the tanking stance on nonstop even though DPS are obviously undergeared and will not steal aggro even if a DPS stance was used.
• Paladins who don't interrupt attacks that have 4s+ long telegraphs and very large AoE circles.
• Tanks who don't face the back of the mobs to the party. *Optimally, tanks should aim to spin the marked mobs about ~135-145 degrees so that DPS can swap between rear and flank attacks by moving just a little bit. Exceptions exist depending on how their AoE patterns are programmed.
• Pulling bosses when your party member is watching a cutscene. Bonus points if that party member is the healer.
• Warriors who don't use Storm's Eye.

All

• Standing in obvious AoE with very long telegraphs.
• Falling off platforms on their own without being pushed. Especially on Titan. Bonus points for blaming the healer for not reviving you after that.
• Using level 8-10 gear for any of the first 3 dungeons, when the Novice Hall gear is significantly better.
• Jumping to the start of the dungeon during a boss fight even though the healer is still alive and capable of hardcasting Revive.
• Not using health potions when you're at critical HP.

It's possible I'm just a very bitter person in that my gears get ground more than others' seem to, but it's also possible that my expectations are higher because I play every single class. The bold ones are the more frustrating ones.

Entering any content and seeing one of the party decided to buck the norm and not use a Job Stone.

as SCH, in DF 8man trials hm/ex when a caster uses virus before that tank buster that i was saving my super virus for (not really a big issue but i could've just used adlo on the tank and spent the rest of the time dps-ing instead of having to follow up another heal after the TB when the regen from the co-healer could've taken cared of it) .... +points when it's the bootleg virus from non-ACN jobs

NINs that use Dancing Edge when there is one or more WARs keeping Storm's Eye up for them.

panicking? lol. its efficient. Essential Dignity on AST heals you more as the target's HP gets lower ---> it makes sense to let them drop down and keep dpsing in the meantime.
Tetragrammaton of WHM --> strong instant cooldown. It makes sense to safe it for Low HP moments and keep dpsing meanwhile
Benediction of WHM --> It heals you up completely. Why would you save it for anything else in normal content? Its convenient to keep dpsing without having to drop cleric stance.

Lustrate of SCH -> decent insta heal, again...why would I waste those when the person in question has a high amount of HP? Its far from panicking o.o

On-topic: Anyone telling me to not dps as a healer ;D because I can do both \o/

[HyoMinPark]

Tanks in 24-mans that like to fight for aggro on bosses. Especially if the boss has cleaves.
And tanks in 24-mans who all stand at the gate in their DPS stance for 20 years while all the shields fall off. :/

Actually, I just get mad in general when everyone is just standing at the gate for an unnecessarily long time. Like pull the boss. (Or I'll pull it for you sometimes!.

NINs that use Dancing Edge when there is one or more WARs keeping Storm's Eye up for them.

Warriors that complain about Dancing Edge, even though it is a Ninja's highest potency combo finisher in some situations.

Warriors that complain about Dancing Edge, even though it is a Ninja's highest potency combo finisher in some situations.

The number of situations this applies outside raids is so small, and the number of non-raider NIN who know this is also incredibly small.

Basically, its not something that should happen. Especially in PoTD or on bosses that have no positional penalties (and oh look, DE is up again...)

was going to comment this when I saw Mikazuki's post. So +1 ~

10% is nothing. I usually let them drop lower haha. Never a problem. I'm not panicking. I know what I'm doing.
