    I do a vast majority of my content with PF groups, of which there will only be 1-2 people that I actually know most of the time, so I understand dealing with pug tanks. The way I solve it is by simply being the MT 99% of the time. If the other tank can't manage to keep aggro against what is an entirely acceptable level of OT threat, he needs to gtfo and let someone who actually *can* generate aggro play. If it's in a tank swap fight, you shouldn't be complaining because Stoneskin after tank swap is one of those uses of Stoneskin that is *always* highly useful, and you're effectively generating no threat while Stoneskinning. If you're *still* liable to pull off of them even when you Stoneskin 2-3 times after a swap, that's someone who shouldn't even be in the run.

    does that actually happen?

    and yes, the solution is to just take over as MT. But if honestly never been in a situation where if I am purposely generating as little enmity as possible, that I creep on the other tank (EG, only casting stoneskin)
