Dark Knights...

[Steady]

We had a ninja,and our Paladin had little issue tanking in sword stance. I understand why he wanted me to, I also understand that it's essentially just trading my damage for his, so I suppose I'm not as sold on it. But As I previously mentioned, I'm used to running with a PLD and that wasn't how we played it. He also tanked the boss off to the side at the beginning, backwards post LB3, and would randomly demand tank swaps. Suppose the whole contrast to what I was used to put me off, particularly when my group didn't do it that way and had no problems doing it that way. Suppose it was largely the drastic change of strategy on the fly that I found myself put off by, particularly in that it was stark contrast to how our group runs. But hey, if that's the war/drk way to go for most people, I'll concede my point as it just being contrary to what I learned. Though I mostly just found the encounter forcing me to nerf my enmity generation the entire fight to make up for it. (again, a problem I didn't have with my usual pld tanking partner.)


As for using living dead in a dungeon.... why? Throwing your hands up in the air and letting yourself purposefully drop your HP when you have other cooldowns available, just seems like a waste. The first time he did it, was when I typically spread dots... which I couldn't cause I had to mitigate all his damage for him on my sch. Just seemed like a lame use there. The 2nd time he used it, I just virused, adlo'd and just didn't bother trying to dps during it and let him waste his cooldown since I didn't save all my lustrates for it. I certainly don't use Holmgang unless I'm in an o-$#it situation in a dungeon.
