    QSomeone had pointed that out to me already and I apologised for let that slip my eyes. However :

    Flash does not do damage but it generates aggro.

    Yeah like I said, from what I saw in your pictures, you are doing your roles as a DPS, not a Tank which is good. No complain or harsh feeling from me. What I want to say is I could do all that, holding aggro, DPSing at the same time, with or without Goad. And as for stoping for TP goes, the break between the groups are far enough to generate enough TP back for you to hold a good aggro for the next waves. I don't stop for TP recover either. There was one time, I remembered the Healer demanded me to stop for her recover her MP when I tanked as a Warrior in Tamtara HM because I kept going forwards.

    In a nutshell, my point is pretty simple, Goad is a good Utility, however, it is not so Godly or necessary or a MUST HAVE for Tank and that they have to be a (inserting words that you would use to describe a rude person), get their head over heel, or go so demanding on Ninja that they have to have it without asking, and that it is Ninja obligation to put up Goad for them without them asking for it.As long as people get that if you want something, A-S-K for it. It is no one obligation or responsibility to know what you want or to observe your performance to know who you are doing and do as you want without you ask first. "Want Goad,A-S-K", simple as that. My DPS sure is not has high as you in the picture, however, there is no need to be a toxic player just for the sake of some extra number.

    -You are the Tank. Your top priority is to hold aggro, not DPS. No one has the right to judge you suck,noob,fail at your job when you pull out a low number nor you will be hold responsibility for a fail in the case of the party failed at a DPS check. If you can pull out a decent number while still holding aggro. Good for you, you are a good and skilful tank.
    - I am the DPS. My top priority is to take things down swiftly and nicely, not to be anyone TP/MP back up bTtery charge. I will be the one to be blamed if Mobs are not killed fast enough, fail DPS check, and no one has the right to demand me or expect me to put up TP/MP buff without asking for it, nor to be the party MP/TP gauge measurement. If I can go an extra miles for you, good, I am a team player. If not, it is not the end of the world.
    -He is the Healer. Your top priority is to Heal, not to DPS. The party failed at DPS check, not your fault. The party died because they so not bother doing mechanics properly, not your fault. It is pretty nice if you have throw out some DoTs/Holy here and there, once in a while whilst still doing your job, we love you.


    Anything other than these things are BONUSES and you don' expect people give out Bonuses, even if it is free,to someone who never say he want it.

    Do not go around and say things like " How many times do I have to tell Ninja to put up Goad when I am tanking as War", or " It is not the hard jobs to know when a party member run out of TP/MP" or "Use it, why do u save it. It is there,so freaking use it, who cares if it is go wasted" etc,...
    Will it kill you to ASK? No.
    Will it make you a nice person and make the run a happy run? Yes.
    Will it make you a rude one and make the run a disaster run? Yes.
    Will the party fail the Duns without it? No
    And many more questions I can ask to prove that the Tank or anyone in the party ABSOLUTELY not need it.

    Again, DPS is there to make sure things go down fast, not the party TP/MP resources and replenish management auto bot and TP/MP restore and back up.

    A story from me if you want to hear it:

    I ran Quarn HM with my friends as a WHM. We had a Brd in the party, so upon entering, I nicely asked "Hey Brd, I am going to DPS a bit here and there. Would you please be able to keep check on my MP?". The Brd replied "Sure, no problem". Then for the whole run, he sang MP song for me every time my MP was low WITHOUT ME ASKING ONE WORD. I went berserk with my Holy spamming and we all had great time. There was even a wipe during the run due to the fact, I Holied too hard and accidentally pull aggro off the tank and tank had hard time to take aggro back from me. Even then, all I said : "Sorry hahaha, I was overjoyed", and the party just laughed and at the end of the run, we all said "Thanks for the runs. Good jobs". I had my fun, the tank had his fun, the two DPS also had their fill. We competed the run in 20mins. The Brd was found via DF.

    Long story short: It is not killing you nor have any negative effects on you or your life, just by one click or 4 key strokes. Though it does make whether the run is fun or sad, upon your behaviour and attitude. Which one will you choose? A fun one full of laugh or a sad one where people trash talk each other? Your choice.
