Don't run away!

Lol you should see this is pvp, 1 person gets attacked and runs from me the healer... With 5 blood thristy dps in hot pursuit

Do you hear the Benny Hill chase music when this happens?

Actually I picture captain jack sparrow beach scene xD

I never run around when i get aggro, i run towards the tank.

In such situations, a well placed Holy can be much more valuable than any heal. (who uses fluid aura on adds anyway? Unless the tank will just not peel it off)
On an AST, the same goes for Celestial Opposition (wish it had a shorter CD)
On SCH, i just turn off cleric stance and help Eos out :P

If I have hate on a mob on my BLM (which is quite a lot of the time) I tend to use Quelling strikes and Manawall which normal gives me time to either a) solo kill the mob or b) for the tank to pick up hate again.

As someone who's played all three roles, I wholeheartedly agree with this.

When I'm a dps or healer, I take mobs to the tank. When I'm a tank, I really appreciate it when people bring me the adds they accidentally aggro. It just makes everyone's job easier and makes the run less prone to wipes.

As a new tank, this is my #1 complaint. For goodness sake, STAND STILL. I can't get a mob off of you if you keep moving it out of range!

Nothing is worse then playing a Paladin and chasing after a mob that the super eager Bard had tagged while you pull a group just because ur shield hit the target he/she decided to pop every cooldown under the sun, then proceed to run around in a large circle....do people not understand the mechanics of Provoke? Its not taunt from WoW!

On the note of fluid aura is actually a good tool to bounce the mob back to the tank since you should be behind(Behind the group not further in) them at a distance anyways.

Most times I've seen, the healer or DPS run because the tank failed to take it back after 10/20 seconds, so it's either kite and kill it or die and take a DPS loss cause the tank can't do their job.

When I get argo as a Dragoon I typically just activate foresight or keen flurry with Bloodbath and Off Tank till the tank gets the hate back. As a Summoner I'm not beyond swift casting to Titan if the tank doesn't regain aggro by the time my quelling strikes-Tri-Bind combo wears off.

This. So much this.

Special note for my fellow MCHs: Please, please, sweet Minfilia's training bra PLEASE. . . Don't Blank what's being actively tanked.

They hate when we do that. I hate when we do that. HYDAELYN hates when we do that.

I like to use Blank as my "Shotgun" Kill shot. So I typically use it when I can gurantee it's not coming back. I personally think it's kind of funny when I send it flying and the tank turns around like "Oh shi, wait it's dead never mind".

And as a NIN Shadeshift is the second move we learn. And I can pull hate easily. Especially before Lv56 and I have Shadewalker. But, with Shadeshift always at my disposal I can pseudo OT. And since I'm melee and just across from the tank, I won't have to for long. In theory.

Also as an aside, I've had healers run to me for a Smokescreen after they've accidentally grabbed aggro. Which always makes me smile.

The title of this thread has made me want to revive my dominatrix glamour.

For reasons.
