The Great Doton Jebait

[Equitable_Remedy]

My NIN homies know what I'm talking about.

You're in a dungeon, and the tank starts a pull. She rounds up a few packs, and stops to begin her AOE rotation. You wait a few GCDs to be absolutely sure before you Jin→Ten→ChJK TANK TAKES OFF AGAIN.

It's a tragedy—easily on a par with Antigone or Oedipus.

I mean ideally the tank would stop at a wall not a single pack or two. I know where the walls are, so I can't relate.

[Equitable_Remedy]

I mean ideally

Sure, but I mean actually.

Her? is this a ragging on female tank players or some specific tank you encountered?

I see both male and female players do this, and yes, it is quite annoying when this happens. Main reason I don't stop for more than 2 AOEs (full combo) if I'm still going with the pull when I play tank.

What's more annoying though is when the tank mistakes it for an aoe, and they move out of it... repeatedly... It happens more than you think but shitposting in chat about it ("Local tank afraid of Doton, more news at 11!") or just plainly explaining it's not an enemy AOE usually leads to them correcting their mistake.

No? "Her" was used as a generic pronoun. You realize that "his" is an equally gendered pronoun, right?

The OP was just a joke, but it apparently didn't land (just like mobs in my doton).

No, in the English language "him" and such variants are an archaic form of generic pronoun but still see some rare use, the proper generic pronoun in modern English is "them" and its variants, though.

If you use Shukuchi at the same time you finish your Doton animation, your Doton will teleport with you

In earlier dungeons where the pulls aren’t limited to rooms like how they are in SHB (yea that’s sad) I’ve had the exact same issue with this as MCH back in the day with Bishop applying its invul debuff. It’s annoying but sometimes DPS are over eager with their floor AOEs and spawn it asap

They're referring to the fact that after Doton lands, the tank goes off to pull another pack. You can't shukuchi to pull Doton with you after that. Plus, if you're using Shukuchi to pull Doton with you, you can't use hide to reset mudras, which means 2 less ninjutsu.
