    Not at all, I got booted from CT because the MT who far surpassed me in gear was having trouble tanking Atomos adds. He said "YOU NEED 2 TANKS FOR THIS NOOB and initiated a vote kick. It went through. I think people just say accept just to get it out of their way sometimes haha. So for your case, im sure people were just thinking you were trolling and are tired of it. What has this world come too if there are that many toxic people in this world haha.

    The generally accepted strategy for that fight is to have each tank take turns pulling the adds as they spawn, so that the group of ranged dps in the back and focus target on one while the other is held by a tank. If you were making the guy tank all of the adds, not keeping hate on anything, and trying to dps, I can see why you were kicked.

    Edit: Not that this justifies kicking you. I would have just told you what I wrote above. If you ignored instructions, then it would look like trolling, and would then be a pretty good grounds for kick.

    How poorly geared must you be to not be able to tank the Atamos adds by yourself...It's a waste to switch tanks.

    Unless your crawling in there with the utterly minimal item level one tank should be perfectly fine holding all the adds while the other tank focuses on ending the fight quicker. It must be because I'm on a Japanese server but sometimes NA strategies are hillariously complex when they don't need to be.

    Nah, I single tank the adds at atomos usually too. Only way its an issue is if the rest of your group isn't good, which is rare, most groups can handle it just fine. (There are those random really terrible CT runs though)

    Where is this a generally accepted strategy? Those adds have no HP when they pop already. Even with decent gear you can just get the healers to regen pull them and have most DPS on boss.

    Back when 2.1 first went live I saw it all the time. Every run. More recently though I never see it, with second tank on panel if you're lacking ranged, or smacking atomos.

    Only time I was ever kicked was once in stone vigil when I was levelling my WHM. The party had wiped once earlier in the dungeon due to my error, and then in one of those optional side rooms full of the aevis the tank seemed determined to charge in rather than pulling them out. Ran around like a ble arsed fly inside the room though and los'ed me mid cast just as they ganked him. I apologized and explained why it had happened, at which point he started getting mouthy and telling me to be careful I didnt los in this corridor, and generally talking down at me, so I stopped healing him and let him drop.

    Got booted, but then reqeued and got right back into same group. Told them all to suck it up and get on with it as we were there at final boss door. One of the dps decided to quip that there was a good chance we'd die. I proceeded to heal that boss like a... boss lol. Dodged every single aoe while keeping everyone topped off and raising the dps when they blundered into the aoe spam of doom.

    In the dozens of times ive run CT I have NEVER seen this strategy, and im usually healing so I know what tank is tanking and which one is dpsing Atomos.

    Well more than the “The generally accepted strategy” is the is the easiest (at least for me).

    One, take more effort and have good dps, some times work, others no, depends the party, but one or two tanks just have to adap

    Back on topic, just once get vote kicked at Garuda extreme I was doing my part all right as tank, but the WHM use holy several times and kill the spinny , then we didn’t kill sup and chiri on time, after 4 tries ,just before the 5 try, the message “you have dismiss form the party” appear, until today I don’t have any clue why they vote kick me, since no one tell me anything. :/
