Why no one tanks...

[LeonBlade]

I am new to MMOs, this is the first MMO I have played, so for me I was very unaware of a lot of concepts that most MMO players are well aware of already.

I've never had any complaints really from anyone when playing as a tank luckily, I try to be nice to everyone in my party and not make anyone feel bad if they feel they have done something wrong, if a DPS does something wrong, or a healer dies and doesn't heal me, as long as they recognize mistakes I will reassure them, as I expect they would for mistakes I make as well.

As a healer, I've had an arrogant tank who thought he was the shit and blamed me for them dying because they didn't pull enemies off me, and I couldn't heal them fast enough.

I've also had a tank who would use Convalescence before a pull and randomly cast cure on themselves for no reason, or flash when no enemies were around in Brayflox, I got so mad as to how they could play so bad, but I never said anything to them rude.

I recall it was effective as a PLD tank in FFXI to cure yourself, this is why I think you see new players trying to do this. It's useless in FFXIV because rage of halone combo(single target) and flash(multi target) is superior for enmity generation.

Ah, I see. I don't think that this person was like this, as they were almost at max health. I think they were on PS3, so they were likely just new to the game. I just don't see how you could get to Brayflox as a tank and still not know what to do very well. I hope they learn from their mistakes and improve, and I just pray for them when they get to level 50 to not be harassed by other players.
