for the tanks.

if your going to be a tank at least know your combos and know how to keep hate, keep your equipment up to date.
if your equipment is to low level your gonna die no way around that. your raid time will be a waste cures will not beable to keep up.

if the DD & healer are out tanking you, you're doing it very wrong.


just thought i throw this out, i think its needed. when you give out advice in game you get attitude from some.

For the Archanists... Please put away your Topaz Carbuncle in a dungeon environment.

Thank you.

I agree on some points. Nether the less we Tanks are a bit underpowered at the moment. Not talking about DMG as this is for DD's but our abilities don't catch enough Aggro at the moment. Atleast that's my Opinion

For the Archanists... Please put away your Topaz Carbuncle in a dungeon environment.

Thank you.

Correct they tank everything ...

I would likewise like to add if your going to be DD please actually let the tank hit the critters/flash before going all out retard dps on it. Also try and hit what the tank is hitting.

The problems I've run into tanking is DPS focusing on other mobs than the one tank has aggro on. Not a problem by any means, but enmity seems to be pretty tough to take once someone has enough, even when basically spamming moves that supposedly have a high enmity rating.

the combos help out alot with hate, spamming skills does nothing but make your job harder, combos give you a bonus and/or potency.


i never tell anyone how to do there job, but when it horribly obvious....

Yep, I know this. That's why I said "basically spamming" and not "spamming". And, as marauder, I'm only aware of two combos that increase enmity, one for the time being is above my level range. But, thanks for taking the time out of your day to do what you don't normally do.

Also if someone puts an un-targeted mob to sleep to keep the need for healing down QUIT USING AOE'S PLEASE! I am a tank and I get sick of it. I have yet to die from it but man does it make it so much easier to target one mob and then the other after first one is done and defeated. Had a thm when doing tok-tarak kept doing that and then just decided on the last boss to start aoeing the whole crowd and before I could get the hate back he'd been hit too many times. I flashed, provoked, cured, and flashed flashed flashed and didn't get it back in time. I did nothing wrong he got hit by 5 mobs at once because his aoe gained hate from every single mob.

Please I want everyone to have fun. Allow your tank to do his job and be the first into battle to gain the hate and then after that only attack the mob he's attacking. makes it a piece of cake and you'll RARELY have to watch anyone in the party die.

Marauder not using Overpower & Gladiator not using Flash, letting mobs run amuck on healers. Not to mention DDs not focusing on the tank's mob, thinking they can tank mobs like they are in open field. For this reason, it is better to avoid the first 2 dungeons. By the time they get to Copperbell Mines, most people should have figured out what they should and shouldn't be doing in party dynamics.

For the DD's:

If you think you can fire off one or two AoEs without pulling hate, then be my guest. I'll already be casting Flash periodically to keep the healer from pulling aggro on everything, so you might as well take advantage of that. But flash is my only AoE enmity generator, and if I have to stop what I'm doing to spam it for you, then not only will it eat up my MP in seconds, but it will pull me away from generating enough single target threat to keep hate on what everyone else has focused. Simply put, I can't let that happen, and I mark my targets for this reason. If you decide to ignore this and spam your AoEs all fight long anyway, then don't blame me for what happens next.
