100% You are geting bad tanks or very under geared ones.
I have both war and pld at ilvl 233.
I have never run into any issues with overgeared blm.
Yes they do stay at 60%-80% hate but I don't let them get any higher.
As a tank its your job to keep hate even if it means you dont get to dps and just flash/overpower till they all die.

Please stop blaming tanks. Read post #32.
Imo all of this is either trolling or bragging.

Most tanks are pressured into functioning as a DPS, so they spend more time doing dps combos instead of enmity combos. I saw a PLD pop Flight or Fight before Shield Lob. After that, he did his Halone combo, Scorn, then began to focus on Royal Authority. He did Royal and Goring combos two or three times and seem to only rely on Scorn and Savage Blade for enmity.

That said, the BLM, and sometimes the WHM, would take hate, causing us to get cleaved. Personally, I feel like if a DPS took hate, then they are hitting hard. That's what they are there for.

I will say tank wants to dps more then hold hate. I was in a12 (I was drk). The war wanted to tank, being normal who cares. But the black Mage pulled every time and eat burning heat! (I hope that's the name of it). He was in dps stance. So rage happened and I tanked it just fine. The tank event went in to tanking stance and tryed to pull it back from me the hole time. Never had an issue. Me and war had 240 weapons and the Blm had 255 weapon.

Not much you can do if tanks are so bad that quelling doesn't help.

As a tank, I am always happy when a DPS is doing their job. At the same, if I can't keep a mob off a DPS, then I'm not doing my job. There will be times where a mob WILL wander off, but it should easily be recovered. Playing casually, I can still keep mobs on me. The one thing I hated as NIN is when a mob comes for me from a simple Duality + Aoelian Edge (buffed).

Always check your tanks gear as it gives a good idea of how far along they're for gearing. If you notice there is less better then yours give the tank time to build hate and then attack and just remember not to go full throttle as you will easily take hate from the tank if your gear is better.

For that the tank has to be at least 20 ilvl below but its still possible to keep hate as tank if you know what you are doing.

Ya play with better tanks. This is always avoidable. Even if they are under geared a ninja can solve the problem
