tanking

[Agony]

Ty for posting this. I already know a lot of the basic etiquette from tanking in other games, but certain nuances help me understand tanking relative to FFXIV.

Glad to see this is posted. Even if most players who need to see this dont use the forums its good to if they do come here to the english forums a thread on top is there for them.

Nope, don't care. Pull big or go home.

Nah, you pull you tank it. (unless you're a poor noob, then you get a pass and i saves you)

If a geared healer can't keep a geared tank alive in big pulls (barring rare exceptions like the 3rd Shisui pull) then frankly I think they're being selfish by refusing to learn their role/play properly.
Outside of savage/EX content, I don't expect healers to DPS (I wholeheartedly encourage it but understand how people might not feel comfortable doing so - and that's fine because it's casual content). I expect them to keep me alive first and foremost, and they have more than enough tools to do so.

I agree with you,however,there are healers that are still learning.and as we,as tanks,had to learn how to pull big.they also will have to learn how to heal big.healing,as tanking,takes all shapes.ignoring their skill level will just prolong your stay in the dungeon.

Tanks lead, if healers or dps dont like it the exit button is there.

[Ramzakristos]

if a DPS pulls and the tank is not fast enough to pull it off, the healer will drain his mana to keep the dps alive. there are factors that will slow down a dungeon and this might be one of them. for a experienced tank this situation rarely happens.however,you cannot assume,even at expert level, that all tanks now exactly what they are doing,or any DPS or healz for that matter.while i do agree that most of the people that are at that level pulls back to back.it would be unfair to not mention that there are exceptions to this. a great player will pulls back to back, a fantastic player knows how to recognize the limitations of his own party and adapt accordingly.we cannot make a blanket statement like that
