Don't buff PLD dmg, buff PLD Enmity

What 8-man content are you coming into that your co-tank is ripping aggro off you?

I'm not the main tank, the other guy is because he's a warrior and we can do the fight without using Shirk. I spend my time using intervention on him, covering dps, and healing healers. Not quite what I signed up for when I picked up the shield. Duty finder, 8 man and 24 man content. Other tanks always have aggro, even if I start with it, their dps pulls it off everytime. At that point, I'm a crappy healer (If I'm synced above 58) with poor dps. Might as well replace my spot in the group with a sage.

Wait, are other tanks ripping aggro off of you without or with their tank stance on?

Because if their ripping aggro off you without their tank stance active, there is a problem on your end - either gear or rotation.

If they're ripping aggro off you with their tank stance, there is a problem on both of your ends - nothing is more annoying than tanks playing the "I AM THE TANK"-game. Thankfully, there is an easy solution to this: either be the "bigger" (or less annoying) person, turn off your tankstance and just focus on dealing damage - or ask the other tank politely "Hey, I would like to maintank, if thats alright - could you please turn off your tankstance?"

There is no need for adjustments to make it easier for a tank to steal aggro or fight for it. There is no need to fight over aggro - it just makes both tanks present bad tanks. Either communicate or silently accept the role thats open - so either MT (if the other tank doesnt has their stance up) or OT (if they do).
