There's a special place in hell for DF tanks who hesitate after running toward a boss

and make BRD/MCH waste half the duration of their prepull buffs, or NINs lose their Suiton.

Nobody expects pull macros in DF, but for the love of god, when you start running toward the boss, that means a pull to most people.

And a Tomahawk/Shield Lob means "First thing to kill" Not, divide and conquer. But hey somehow we make do. We all make mistakes, sometimes repeatedly, for 30 whole minutes. BUT HEY, when life gives you lemons, you sell them in Canada because fruits and vegetables are going for a ridiculous price right now, like $7 for cauliflower. WHO EATS CAULIFLOWER ANYWAYS?!? That's right, NO ONE.

I actually just did this in Dusk Vigil on my Pld. I noticed last second the whm wasn't in the boss area and wasn't sure if he was ninja afk or not so i like ran ahead and stopped mid way to Babar (sick 90's cartoon reference bra!).

Hell is where all the fun people are anyways, and warm people... I live in Canada, and my feet are cold, so I approve of your message!

Aaaand that's why I play it safe and wait until tank has pulled. Plus as a machinist I like to have hot shot buff up before starting the buff-rampage and that has worked for me pretty well.

This is now a thread about cauliflower hate and cold feet

NINs that ACTUALLY use Shadewalker... by popping it on the tank when still waiting for the other 2-6 members of the party to get to the boss room. Or using Smokescreen... ON THE TANK. Or using Suiton when waiting on the other 2-6 party members. Not using Goad when asked and the other DPS is a caster.

BRDs that songpull in boss rooms while waiting on other party members. That don't use any songs, even when asked (ASKED, like Ballad/Requiem/Paeon Please, not "Sing Ballad/Requiem/Paeon dumb BRD", but mostly Ballad/Requiem)

MCH... I haven't seen enough of MCHs to know what they do with messups like BRD/NIN, but there could be some.

People could actually be patient enough to WAIT until the boss is pulled rather than take any movement as attacking. Just remember that irritations go both ways.

Nine times out of ten, when I see a Tank hesitate to pull a boss it's usually because they noticed the Healer casting a late Adlo or Stoneskin and politely stopped to wait for them. Given that adlo and SS usually last long enough to eat the first cleave of the boss, I think I'm gonna sympathize with the tanks on this one.

To be honest, I don't think that there is a tank in the game who gives a flying crap about the Dps missing out on a few seconds of a buff, especially when the Dps applied the buff before the Tank's pull. If the Tank has to chose between the Dps missing a couple seconds and the healer finishing the cast of SS/Adlo, the Tank will pick the healer every time.

As tanks we must stand firm against our cruciferous oppressors, do not falter!
For the moment you show weakness in your stride, the enemy will rend you asunder; whether they be friend or foe...

Stand with me Paladins, Warriors, Dark Knights.. You too must hunger for sweet victory.
TO ARMS, STOKE THE FLAMES OF WARMING, LOAD THE CHEESE CANNONS! We must be ever vigilant if we are to devour our enemies!

You're quite mad, I love it

There was nothing more infuriating when leveling a DPS than the tanks who would just stand there, wait a minute, then move a bit, then wait some more. I understand if something has come up, but at least inform your party about it or abandon the duty. D:
