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
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.
