Stone Vigil

[-DMR-]

Just earlier, I entered Stone Vigil on storyline quest, but something wasn't right. Was I supposed to have 'Stoneskin' on instead of 'Protect' in there?

Anyway, I've been trying to get aggro on myself, but it wasn't working, as I was using Provoke, or am I supposed to use Flash? I had a feeling someone wasn't liking my tanking, despite doing what I could, so I left.

I might require more info about it. The healer didn't use protect on you? Didn't you receive enough heal? I see you as Marauder here, so I'll take a guess and say that you were using War in SV. You only use Provoke when you lose aggro form one monster. It gives you the same amount of aggro generated by the person who stole it +1, so you gotta build emnity on that guy asap or he'll get away from you again. As you play War, it's better if you use Overpower. Flash is useful if you jump in blind in group of monsters, since it's a circular AoE around you. But since your MP is not really high, Overpower is your signature move to keep emnity in big groups of monsters. What did they tell you, exactly?

Well, I was told, and I quote...WAIT...and was told they wouldn't continue if I didn't keep aggro. But anyway, Protect wasn't used at all, only Stoneskin. Tried the FC, but no one was available, so I was in with 3 random players as always.

Protect isn't going to help you keep hate. Where you using your buff combos properly?

If it was a Scholar, there's a decent chance they didn't have Protect level synced. I have Stoneskin before Protect on mine, because my fairy handle a vaaaaast majourity of the healing in low level dungeons anyways. It isn't even particularly useful on the first and third bosses of SV, in particular since only conjurers get the MDEF+ trait.

um.. Throw ur axe... use your aoe attack a few times if you have flash use it aswell.. switch targets as needed to get aggro (look and the enemy list if its not red u lsot aggro). you should not care what the healer is doing unless ur dieing. if you have no idea how to tank at lvl 41.. i feel bad for ya.. sorry mate reroll a dps.

This person doesn't have a single 50. She mostly has 30's and this is her highest.
No reason for you to act rude. We could of used the tips without the snarky end comment.

To be fair, by the time you get to stone vigil, you've been through 6 dungeons and 2 trials. You should be familiar with tanking by that point.

Did you have Defiance up?
If you don't you will lose hate really quickly.

I usually pull w/ Tomahawk > Overpower > Overpower > start my first rotation. Flash in between as needed. I also cycle through mobs as needed.
For Overpower you must make sure that the mobs are in front of you. For Flash make sure the mobs are around you because it is centered around you so you can't target a mob 30yalms away and use flash to get hate.

Sometimes you will get healers who don't like to use Protect or Stoneskin because they feel it is useless. Personally, I think they don't don't use those skills because they are lazy but that's neither here nor there. Just do your best to ignore those types of situations even though they can be annoying.

Before level 50 (or aurum vale if you want), stoneskin is useless. A tank that argues that it isnt (its always the tank), does not take into account the amount of HP it shields, its cast time, and its mp cost.
