Post your tanking derps and herps here!

Sometimes, late at night, when doing a dungeon, I'll space out between the first boss and the end boss and "wake up" right before we enter to fight the mini-boss. No one dies, and I still manage to tank, but I have 0 memories of the trip between the first boss and mini boss. I go into like a road mode or something.

1st dungeon run (Sastasha). Right before, I was doing the Gobbo FATE outside and to make it easier I replaced my Savage Blade hotbar spot with Riot Blade. Wasn't tanking them, just messing around & flashing everything.

Of course, I forgot to switch back once I popped into dungeon and made it just past 1st boss before realizing.

Tanking ultima weapon for the first time (and people didn't communicate). When he gets around 30-40% he does a meteor like thing that a big circle gravitates for.

Well I seen the big circle, it centers, and makes it very much look like a spot to stand on. (Thinking it was something to like deactivate a shield, or something).

Anyways, clearly I over thought the fight. Ran to the circle and got hit for 90% of my HP.

My first try at Brayflox. I had the nicest party ever however (props to you guys, again, if you see this post.)
I ran EVERYTHING but the last boss perfectly, no fuss, no muss, I liked to assume my team was pretty happy with me.

Get to the last boss. Wipe 4 times. Why? Because I couldn't figure out how to move out of the god damn red rectangle of butt dunking fast enough. I WAS SO SURE I WAS OUT OF IT AND THEN I GOT DAMAGEANTED.
Luckily my party tolerated my inability to dodge the stupid green bar, and we finished it on the 5th try, when the dragon didn't shoot poison at the worse places ever, and I learned that if I ran towards him I was less likely to eat poison.


I'm not an inherently bad tank, I'm just sort of dumb.

In Brayflox's Longstop had poison pool on every side of the room so I brought Aiatar to the middle and dragon breath wiped my whole team leaving me standing waiting to die.

Doing Titan today on my WAR. Let everyone know it's my first time but that I'd at least read up on the fight in advance. It takes me a good 90sec to 2min to realize that my health is lower than it should be, and that when I hit Inner Beast nothing is happening. /facepalm. Defiance wasn't up. Thankfully I got it up and the fight went smoothly.

Holy cow! I see you all over the place on Faerie.

Brayflox seems like a common tank derp spot! For obvious reasons, I suppose lol

Mine wasn't really that bad. But my first run-through, I wasn't very focused and didn't notice that the dragon was healing. Everyone was like, "Kar'ti! Move your ass, dammit!" and I was like, "Wait, wha-?" I was probably just out of it that day, because I definitely got nailed by that poison breath like fifty times...like....for no reason. derp

I think it's amazing cause I didn't have any problems with him in Phase 3.

pretty much all I do here as of late.. I have been very good at tanking until ampador or w/e keep.. I just keep getting stomped in there for some reason..

When I was new to the game, I tanked satash for first time. My friend suggested I add flash to my bar as a warrior. I added the skill to alternates mid fight, didn't end well.

I was doing a dungeon and was really tired. Now if you have stayed up later than your suppose to and force yourself to stay awake... you know your body will fight for sleep in the form of microsleep. Yeah that happened to me. I microsleeped, lost aggro and the whole party got wiped on a trash mob, twice. I wasn't completly at fault because at one point the healer also fell asleep too, and we all decided we needed to quit the dungeon and try again tommorrow =D. So the tanking moral of the story is... GET SOME SLEEP.
