Tanks Not Using Emnity Skill.In Dungeons

[Schan]

Not sure if it's people who are returning and aren't aware that tank stance dancing is not a thing anymore, tanks that forget that going into a dungeon (synched) removes their tank stance or people just being new and not knowing tank stance is a thing.

square can remedy this by adding a new trait to tanks that automatically turns tank stance on when your lvl 15 or above and make it so you cant turn it off

That wouldn’t work sadly, it would cause multi tank fights to digress into constant aggro dancing due to both tanks not being able to stop generating threat towards the target. I guess it might work if they retooled shirk and and gave it a smaller cool down, but I think it works pretty well as is.

they could make it work for duty finder only, premade groups can turn it off and on for the highend raids

Naw, just change Shirk to "Trade Places," allowing the MT to shift their currently aggro'd targets to the OT, and vice-versa.

They cant make it to where you always have it on because you cannot shirk a tank who is not in your party so imagine how Alliance raids would go with 3 tanks fighting over aggro.

The same as now, but with an excuse?

A friend of mine who started playing in the autumn when I returned after taking a break at the end of Heavens Ward has found several times times in the early leveling dungeons that tanks at sync level aren't using their emnity boost skill (Iron Will, Defiance, etc.) even after being asked more than once, or sometimes they turn it on the off again.

He just left a party as healer because emnity was all over the place and healing a nightmare due to the tank refusing to use Defiance. This was in Tam-Tara but he's had as high as Halatali at least.

I've not done any low dungeons for a long time so haven't see it myself. Apart from being a jerk, is there any valid reason for this, it certainly wasn't a 'thing' when I was playing last time.

It could be for any reason. From my personal experience as a tank, it is from syncing down and forgetting it gets removed.

This isn't a really big trend and as your friend goes throughout the game and goes through dungeons multiple times, they will almost never run into it again. Maybe once or twice more.

I've seen some newbies confused about how it works or by people calling it by the wrong name but that was easily remedied by a quick explanation. I don't think either situation is remotely common enough to be a widespread issue though.

"Alright guys, here's how it works. You click it." Boom.

Its understandable if the tanks are newer players, but i have seen tanks with old account who were not using their tank stance.
I have met few tanks like these in MSQ, they were not a sprouts, when asked they turned it on for a while then turned it off making run an unbearable and slow mess.
We should be able to report these players who intentionally refuse to commit their role and troll entire team.
