Tank new role action idea

[Rongway]

In Dzemael Darkhold, you can drag everything to the purple light around the Magitek Terminal and then hide in the very corner to block the ghosts' line of sight (LoS) and make them follow you into the light. Run back out of the corner and to the Magitek Terminal after they're in range; if you stay in the corner too long you might also LoS the healer if they're not aware of what you're doing.

Because that sounds like a Renalt thing.

Not really. Renalt is maidenless! : - p

dunno why all the complaints, i think it'd be fun and has very mortal combat-y "get over here" vibes. i like it. if it does a little damage then it could also be used between gcd for a little extra dps.

Okay so I had this idea just about now I was doing Dzemael darkhold and I start pulling wall to wall but there is those range enemies that are far away and snipe me out of my aoes because they aren't dumb they got range that I dont but I was wondering what if tank could have a Grappling Hook or Something like healer Rescue but to snatch an enemy from its position and drag it to you This action would not work on bosses tho for obvious reasons. I know its sound quite useless but I can see a good potential of mechs based on that where tanks have to snatch an add away or something like that

Let me know what you guys think

/approve but unfortunately it would be useless when it's fun, for example on a boss.
Right now it's boring to see bosses that auto-adjust their position for some skill or are placed as walls, it diminishes the role (and fun) of the tank.

In the first large pull of Darkhold when you get to the big open room with the caster enemies pull them all then run right into the corner as tight as you can of the blue area, then a few seconds later the ranged enemies will come closer, then you can run back to them with the melee enemies and attack them all together whilst staying in the blue area safe zone.

Before the 2nd boss you can line of sight the enemies behind a wall forcing them to come to melee range to attack you.

The attack you are requesting is already in the game...if you play Blue mage of course.

So in laymen terms... give all tanks Death Grip?

Effectively yes.

And personally I wouldn't mind it. Positioning with ranged mobs is always a pain, specially if there are multiple of them.

I was referring to DnD's Death Grip but sure, WoW invented everything apparently.

Positioning with ranged mobs is only an issue mostly in ARR and maybe 1 or 2 HW dungeons?

They stopped making ranged enemies a long time ago, they usually end up closing in on you in later dungeons especially the 1st boss in Troia get close to you after casting their Void Fire, kinda makes the skill almost obsolete unless they decide to bring back ranged enemies again and chances are close to never.
