Anyone who runs off before I can cast protect and stoneskin. Going to just start assuming that they don't want it.

Any DPS class that doesn't have a single level in a MRD or GLA that complains about a person's tanking skills.
People who don't listen in CT and when you try to help them they say back off or get smart mouth with you when they wiped the party to begin with.
People who say I have a i+ level I should know this or that and I am better than you because of it, though you already know your job so why do you have to hear how great someone is.
People who stick the comet behind Behemoth on purpose when people run behind it they all wipe because its too close.
Recent trend I seen on tanks (more so been more dps and healing class focused then my main role as a tank) seeing them pull with provoke (only)........ clear WoW tactics.... :/

Tanks that mark nothing but concentrate on single mobs anyway. Bonus points for focusing on a mob other than the one you hit with your ranged attack.
Tanks that unnecessarily spin mobs or run away to pull the next set when a mob still needs 3-4 hits to go down.
Healers who don't seem to realize you can heal DPS, especially if they're getting hit because the tank isn't.
Any players who are new and know nothing of the boss mechanics (perfectly fine by itself), but fail to mention it.
DPS who seem to forget LB exists (figured I should put in something that I do >_>)
That reminds me!
Dps who use LB as finishers... (more so on non last bosses, the bar could be filled up some more during the fight, that and a majority of the time the damage is overkill as in boss is at 3k LB does 10k... but only does the 3k with 7k vanishing away) .
Sometimes tanks spin them to avoid frontal AoE, other times to position it to not hurt his/her party members. If the tank is just dancing around for no apparent reason I suspect s/he's just bored and needs a cookie.
Agreed! As DRG I need either be on the side, or behind, so when the tank decides to run around its like "Pick a plae already!"
This can be avoided by simply side stepping out of the AoE and as soon as the indicator vanishes moving right back to the position.
Actually, he is right about that. You can't block attacks, or parry for that matter, from behind.People who're new to FF14 and MAKE UP "facts" about their job, mechanics or any other part of the game. Not sure why they do it? If they're wrong it just makes them look bad. While I was tanking I had someone, who didn't have any 50's, yell at me for turning my back on mobs/letting mobs hit me from the back. He said that I "couldn't block anything" if I did that. He was yelling at me about it for the entire dungeon.
