i got a question for you dps..

[Shirobi]

#1 Its a DPS loss usually, if not used at the start of a fight and even then there shouldnt be a reason for having to us it.

#2 If you are tanking properly this should never be an issue past the very early levels of the game. Tanks need next to no lead in time, and, barring special fight mechanics, should never be coming close to losing threat to the DPS.

TL;DR Stop trying to tank in DPS gear and using your DPS stance and this should never be a problem for you.

way to assume there.. i'm almost always in full tanking gear and stance.. nice example is this brd who decided to keep unloading into ultros at the start of the fight and since he dropped an aoe on me early i didn't have enuf time to properly establish threat.. i call him out on this and his response boiled down to "lol u lost aggro to a bard?" when i didn't even get a chance to use a full enmity combo yet

I'll use quelling strikes if I know I'll pull off the tank. But rarely have tanks that have problems getting enough aggro up front to not be able to hold it even if fully prebuffed barraged empy lands on the boss.

Calling it "de-taunt".. .. There is not skill to "taunt" in this game. It's reference to totally another game and while it's arguable that particular game has set lot of base for mmos it'll still not make much sense as a term in this game.
"Use your de-taunt pleaze"
"My what now?"
"Learn your class, noob"
"?!"

Comes down to player being jerks or clueless OP. So many times i have seen dps attack enemies before tanks actually got to the enemy (Bards are real bad for this) and no Quelling Strikes.
However threat should not be all to hard to get back.
As for the comment about wearing dps gear, have you seen the current tank gear? It is utter junk, lol
When i do tank i have dps accesories and have not really had any problems holding threat.

Honestly for fights like this, dps can just chill the hell out for a few seconds. Given how gear now and days is complete overkill for this content. I mean is that 2 extra seconds of waiting really gonna make a difference? No, not really, seeing the tank on Ultros needs to fricking position it still. Bard musta been one of those 'new to mmo's so i just gotta go fast and keep the shiny red orb by the npc's name in my UI' types.

I main tank, and enmity is 100% the tank's problem. The only exceptions are when the tank is incredibly undergeared or when the DPS starts attacking something when you're pulling multiple groups. Do your job instead of complaining, tanks can generate huge amounts of enmity quickly.

1) you still had enough time to establish threat.

2) you could have dodged to the side and kept attacking.

3) provoke -> shield lob
