Intervention and Cover in Alliance Raids and BA

[Doozer]

It would also be nice to be able to Shirk a tank in a different alliance. Since there's only one tank each, there's nothing you can do to help the MT with aggro without lowering your DPS or something. And I can't really tell them to "git gud" when I take aggro from them while in OT stance.

Came here to say this. ^

This is especially bad for Paladins in the lvl 50 alliance raids. Where the only DPS combo is also the enmity combo. It's nearly impossible to not take aggro away from non-paladin MTs. I actually have to stop attacking once in a while. Looking forward to that issue hopefully going away in ShadowBringers.

I remember a run where I was PLD, and the DRK was behind the group, so I pulled the boss with shield lob, and got to my RoH combo, when I see the DRK run into the fight, hit tank stance, and proceed to hit provoke.
It was a bit odd, since DRKs actually have a DPS combo at this level range, but there's not much I can do, other than shirk them. (I was in sword oath, since I only have a threat combo, and its a MSR boss.)
I shirk them, and within 1 combo, I have more threat than them again. (they werent using threat combos)

They yelled at me to get out of tank stance, which i wasnt in.
I tell them i wasnt in tank stance.
they say, stop using threat combos, and to use my DPS combo.
I tell them PLD doesnt have any until Lv54.

They proceed to get upset, and refuse to fight anything the rest of the dungeon. (they just AFK at every spot, but move again once we finish the fights)

I tried to vote kick them for intentionally AFKing, but the rest of the group refused (as usual).
Dont know why SE thought it was a good design to not update PLD to have at least goring blade by Lv50.
(side note, the DRK was Lv70, and his accessories were melded with crit and DH, just to give an idea how clueless he was. When he was in tank stance, he turned off darkside. dunno why he did that, since he had to turn it off manually. and refused to put it back up during that fight.)

I agree. I wish I could give a TBN to the main tank of the alliance as well as shirk them. That would be a great QoL adjustment that should have been brought up in a media question.
