Tank Stance in 4 man dungeons

[Lordfurious]

I think it would be an excellent idea to enable automatically tank stance in all four man dungeons and not allow the ability for the tank to remove it. I see a common problem amongst many low geared tanks dropping stance to go into DPS and then they take a critical hit or a tank buster which then One-Shots them and of course then there is tension between the Healer and the tank. I've also seen tanks not put on any stance rush ahead and die then rage. I personally think this would eliminate a lot of the problems we have in the dungeons.

While I can relate to the situation you describe, I don't think forcing an ability is the solution. That, and... stances might not even be surviving to the coming expac. We'll find out in a little over a week.

I do sure hope they remove stances. Currently the other three members of a dungeon are forced to do whatever the tank feels like doing. A good example is pulling all the way to the boss and then switching into DPS dance dying and less than 1 Global cooldown then blaming everybody else around him. While I have seen a couple of good tanks in Duty Finder for the most part what I described is roughly about 90% of what I have encountered unfortunately. That's not the end of it it's usually followed up by "do better healer" or a lot of inappropriate comments to the Healer who is overstressed popping his largest heal using every cool down and still not being able to keep the tank up. It is the biggest reason that people don't finish Duty Finder and why a lot of people refuse to even join Duty Finder. What I'm looking for is a viable solution that can keep the team all four members happy.

Yeah, those kind of situations do suck.

And... just to warn you, stance removal or not, you're going to see a lot of this when the expac launches. Inevitably there will be tanks that think their i400 gear will carry them to level 80. They'll start dying within a GCD or so at the level 77 dungeon, but even the level 75 dungeon won't be a picnic with them.

It's an easy enough solution for me. I just get drunk hop on one of my tanks and start tanking. Not understanding stuff I may take a little bit more damage than I'm supposed to but I don't lose aggro and I seem to get through dungeons just fine completely smashed. And oddly enough no stress from the healers healing me because I usually rock my Paladin and we have what 10 cooldowns and I think I'm one of the few that actually knows what they are what they do and actually uses them. Maybe it's just free to play but man DF is dead and I'd like to see it revived because that's why I joined the game.
