Is this common? It's getting annoying...

Wish I'd been able to follow this thread thoroughly.

In any case, I haven't had this issue much since I started as a GLA in sept '13, but I've heard about it a lot. First thing, if DPS pulls then DPS dies, it's not a power thing it's a "let me play the effin' game" thing. There is a massive learning curve for new tanks. GLAs build stupidly low aggro in the first couple dungeons. Getting into Tam Tara before hitting 26 can be rough and I've seen several gladiators almost quit at that point,

Uhm... I almost did at GLA25. Hence my last post where I said "nevermind". Actually I said I had quit at 25. But I changed my mind, because I can't do anything about overgeared players. But it is EXTREMELY DISCOURAGING when you use every aggro skill you have and it doesn't get aggro back. Flash 5 times and still lose aggro? Come on man..that doesn't help with confidence. And for trash mobs more than 3, I tend to just give up.

I actually tested another tank by queing into a low level dungeon on my BLM, just to see how he handled things with me being super overgeared. But I know how to play BLM and know how to hold back..so I didn't help myself on that one XD. But he had some issues with the healer overhealing.
