After a run in cutters cry yesterday. A blm that only casts blizzard III
ACNs that won't put away their Topaz Carbuncle when asked by the tank/entire freaking group. Yes, that nice your shiny new gold carbuncle can tank things in the first three dungeons. However, I'm trying to learn how to tank here. Kinda hard when I'm having to fight the radioactive squirrel for agro. What? No? Wonderful. You plan on being a SMNs? Great. Chalk up another idiot that give us SMNs a bad name.
Most of the time later dungeons will slap this notion that their tank pet can tank all the things right out of them when their party gets sick of them dying every freaking pull trying to pull that crap in, say, Qarm. Problem here is that qualifier "usually".
When I'm doing any run, as an obviously experienced player and people try telling me when to LB or what mob to focus on etc .
I already know, I know better than you....
I commend your effort with language!
- Tanks who don't know in which order to mark mobs.
-Tanks who decide to run straight in to that mob in Lost city without letting ranged dps do their jobs and take out the white mage stones first.
- Tanks who don't know which mobs can be slept and mark a sleepable mob as first in kill order leaving instead of the non sleepable one. E.g. always going for the ahriman ahead of the soul in ak when the eye can be slept but not the soul.
-Tanks who think they need to tank all the things rather than just avoiding the time consuming trash that can be avoided.
- Tanks who blame failure on slow dps when I'm using quelling strikes and still almost pulling hate from them.
- People who repeatedly run the mob past the blm interrupting their cast. Particularly annoying when you're trying to save their ass with sleep.
Right now my most feared tank skill is: leaving the dungeon for no or silly reasons. This skill has only a 30 min cooldown and works INSTANTLY when casted.
This!
Had a tank quit on us for Haukke Manor NM for heaven's sake. A quick, easy dungeon, and he just quit out without saying a word ... no new people either so he didn't even have that excuse =P
As a career brd I can admit to forgetting sing ballad or realizing 1/4 through the fight that there's a dps caster in the pt and that I need to use foe. So I definitely have my faults, but I have my serious pet peeves as well.
-People that don't follow the tanks marking order
-tanks that don't mark when pulling multiple mobs
-dps that feel the need to fight every mob except for what the tank is fighting.
-anyone besides the tank or healer that yells "ignore adds" (like that really shouldn't be your call)
-anyone that queues for DR/DF and then withdraws the moment the duty pops
-anyone that queues for DF and then goes afk making the wait for the duty take even longer (why even queue?)
-anyone that leaves a duty after a wipe to the first boss (lately experienced that with tanks)
-watching other brds use foe when there's no blm or smn in group
-tanks that move mobs from over top of the Fire Arrow circle
-healers that think their only job is to heal (for christ sake cast a few DoTs every so often).
-tanks that don't know how to position themselves for a pull and get mad, blame other members of the pt for the wipe because we ended up with 2-3 other groups of mobs on us, and then rage quit.
-In conjunction with the one above, tanks and/or other pt members that yell for dps not to AoE when we clearly have one too many groups of mobs attacking us.

Tank did this last night immediately upon getting Pharos Sirius in the high level roulette. He left so fast, I didn't even catch his name.
Its not THAT annoying, I just dont get why PLD and SCH will stoneskin the whole party when the WHM already is doing that......

hi im a scholar that uses stoneskin
to save time, i will SS the dps on boss encounters
what bothers me is when whm's insist on casting stoneskin at the start of ever fight when its completely unneeded because you have a SCH with succor in the group
