Did just that. I'm sorry for not respecting the rules. I was still a bit angry about this when I wrote it. Thanks for telling me.

So got Cyrcus tower with my DRK and went OT. Everything's smooth until I noticed one of our RDM going around the boss arena in circles and casting Vercure in order to activate Dual Cast.

And everytime she aggroed the boss. After Amon, I got tired of he business and at Xande, I went MT and stole the aggro from her with Provoke.

During the fight she tried to steal aggro from me like she tried to do in the other fights but she wasn't able to.

The raid ended without any problems but jeez such behaviour should not be permitted.

So if on Moogle you see a Hyur with purple fox ears....please slap her for me.

Early pulling can definitely be annoying. Aside from that, I'm not really understanding the rest of the complaint. A DPS should want to do decent damage, which sounds like the RDM may have been doing. :X

NP. In any case, while I don't like DPS pulling, it seems like more of a tank issue (nobody stepping up to MT) than a DPS issue, tho the RDM might not have been using enmity CDs.

Something about this sounds off. Syrcus Tower has 3 tanks...if I'm understanding correctly, none of the three tanks were able to properly secure aggro. Even accounting for early pulling, this seems like a tank issue that a provoke and a couple of enmity combos could easily fix.

If that is you he's referring to, it might not be a bad idea to use your enmity tools when needed. ST is easy, but I can only imagine how hard a RDM tank is to keep alive.

It sounds more of an issue where a dps was tanking and none of the three tanks wanted to MT from how I'm reading it, albeit the RDM could have also used diversion or lucid. Because at level 50 it's basically impossible to lose threat unless you're tanking outside of tank stance from the very start due to how insane threat modifiers are vs the fact the dps's ability kits are gutted at that level. One aggro combo in tank stance and no dps comes close at level 50.

That, or whoever was actually MT was basically afk.

I'm starting to be more on board with requirements for leveling dungeons considering I had a WHM in shisui who thought healing with a NQ 145 weapon was a good idea in a 260-270 dungeon. Had <19k hp and Cure II did maybe 6k. Asylum may as well not have been there.

Oh and they shared last names with one DPS. It's always the pairs that seem to give me trouble.

Have to agree with that. I'm sure there are competent pairs out there, but in my experience so far it's a warning sign that it's going to be a bad run.

In my experience, one of them is either average but humble or above average and completely full of themself while the other is just garbage.

It's a 24 man, sounds about par for the course to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
