Will i get banned for not using tank stance all the time in boss fights in alliance raids and raids?

When for some reason some players gets really mad at me for not using tank stance on boss fights in alliance raids when i don't want steal aggro of the boss constantly from the other tank who aggro the boss first.

So now i will NEVER play as tank when i fully fear getting banned for not using tank stance all the time in boss fights in allaince raids and raids.

Is this a real question?

Or you could just use common sense and provoke/turn on tank stance when the other tanks aren't doing it an some poor DPS gets aggro.


And just don't worry about the rest?

Not unless it leads to something that can be considered MPK, tbh.

Just make sure you're second or third highest enmity in normal, alliance raids respectively and you'll be fine.

I usually just turn it off and then on again after a little... That way if any tanks die I'll just pick it up... Don't need to always have it on, or always have it off.

Sorry to ask but what MPK means when i'm really bad with abbreviations?

How i can make sure to have second or third highest emnity in normal raids and allaince raids if i ended up stealing the aggro of the boss from other tank just by doing my dps rotation while having tank stance turned on.

I don't know if turning tank stance on and off constantly won't cause some players getting really mad at me, when they already gets really mad at me for activationg tank stance when needed in situations like when main tank dies and when bosses add phase is starting.

MPK is "Mass player killing", which is SE's terminology for intentionally wiping the group or deliberately letting a wipe happen. Using Provoke while your stance isn't on will automatically put you second on threat, so you can just do that periodically if you have a free oGCD window. There are some fights, like Ozma and Cid, where you need to have your stance on because the boss targets the top 3 on threat, but in most cases it's not something you need to worry about.

You won't if it's not required.

If no other tank uses it or your specific party has an add it is meant to fight, and you don't tank it, it's possible someone may report it as griefing.

Personally, I keep stance on always. I do not use Provoke. May the best dps tank win - that's my mentality.

I just keep it on unless I am working with a co tank specifically and we worked it out beforehand. random content? you better believe it's on full time. never know when you have to peel something off someone who did something they shouldn't.

Shirk is useful for aggro control, though it doesn't work across parities so you can't use it in alliance. If you find yourself in a similar situation in a trial or normal raid, it's helpful to remember it. Tank Stance is an OGCD at least so you can flip it on/off as needed. If you're not the main tank leave it off for the pull until you get through burst and then turn it on. If you see yourself climbing in enmity, turn it back off for a while.

If you go this route, please make sure you're hanging out at The Tank Spot (true north or relative north, depending on the fight) next to any other tanks you're in a provoke war with.

Nothing more irritating than a tank trying to fight for aggro from behind and playing Spin The Cleaving Boss right on the alliance - that too is a form of MPK
