You pull you tank question.

[ThorneDynasty]

Well you've set your main class to BLM, so I call BS. Also dungeons don't have a main tank, you only ever have 1 tank in a dungeon.

"Lmao, look at this guy, he switched to BLM after getting tired of every tank being lobotomized to WAR levels! he must not have ever played tank really!"¨

(Still play GNB though, it has a little bit going for it even if keeping aggro is something a monkey could do)

And I mean as in, I've mained tank for for most of the game, when it comes to MSQ/dungeon content. For raids and trials it's 50/50 between DRG and DRK/GNB.

So you're just going to ignore what I mentioned about pulling mid way through causing problems for none warriors if you mits are on CD? Cool.
You wont hear me disagreeing I've hated the removal of aggro as a system since they first did it, I also hated the removal of TP.

That only makes sense if you already used your invuln. Then yes, DPS should notice you are struggling already. Otherwise, why not?

Pull all you want, but please bring them my way if you're running ahead of me and my sprint is on cool down. That's all I ask. :')

The whole YPYT attitude is from people who wanna feel important once in the life, lets be real and face it how it is.

[AngaratoSvartberg]

lmao 49 pages? just let the damn tank pull. its not that hard, you're not that much in a hurry.
if you dont like it play tank yourself or go play with your friends

[WeakestZenosEnjoyer]

Well the novice hall would disagree with you as it teaches tanks to pull, no one else. Snip.

The Hall of the Novice also teaches you to single target to preserve your TP so, I really don't care what it says.

Because tanking in casual content is apparently hard, let me enlighten you on the tank's rotation which you can do in like, 95% of the dungeons. The ones where you can't do it, you can easily memorize once this goes wrong:

1: press Sprint before pulling any sort of aggro. 20 seconds of zoomies!
2: ranged attack or dash into the 1st group of enemies. Your pick.
3: AOE skill once or twice to really grab their aggro.
4: Sprint should still be up for ~10 seconds or more. Run to 2nd group.
5: AOE skill them too.
6: Press any percentage mitigation (30% job mit OR 20% Rampart role mit) + enemy debuff such as Reprisal OR Arm's Length.
7: When both your initial mit+debuff drops off, pop another minor mit, lot of enemies should be weak or dead by now. Also spam your 25 second special job mitigation if it's available in the content you're doing, keep it on cooldown at all times. Yes, it's totally fine if it overlaps with the other mits.
8: The trash mobs are dead? Great. Now do it again, a wall opened up somewhere probably. Just use the other combo (ie: if you used 30% mit + reprisal first, then this next group you use the 20% mit and arm's length)

If your dps or healer is pulling ahead of you, you were not doing this.
If there are more than 2 packs, you keep on running after step 5, even if sprint runs out. In most cases you'll be fine. Notable dungeons where you can't do this though is: Aurum Vale, Stone Vigil (Hard), and Mt. Gulg.

Also a few notes:
- Bossrooms are for your big mitigation cooldowns to get back up. For bosses with tankbusters, you don't pop a big mit. Just use your job mitigation and/or reprisal and thats that.
- Invuln is also a mit. You're free to use it during trash pulls in lieu of using percentage mits. Although it might be an idea to announce it beforehand with a macro so the healer isn't wasting big heals on you.
- If you really want to feel love from your partymembers, then pull enemies into a corner so they get bundled up. Your dps and healers will love that their aoes will now hit all enemies. Also helps you, cuz it kills the mobs faster instead of having 1-2 stragglers left over.
- You can use variations of the above. Most tanks get additional job-specific mits and you can just... use them? If it's between using them inefficiently or not using at all, inefficient use is better.


That's all. You don't have to do any of this perfectly optimized. But this is fundamentals and super easy to do.

Right here. This is the step where the DPS will double dash ahead and pull the next group. When just trying to hit bosses so healer regens and stuff don't pull aggro. The rest doesn't matter if the DPS can't wait the 2.5s for a GCD, especially on split groups that are wider apart than your AoE range. Once you get to this stage, the rest doesn't matter if the DPS can't wait for enough time to take a sip of water (Stay hydrated)
