Post your tanking derps and herps here!

[Vactus]

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.

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.

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.

First dungeon ever...Sastasha...as GLD. My friend told me about the fireflies and giant clam, and we go through the first few no problem with me running in, flashing them all, and THM Blizz II's them all down...piece of cake. Then our CNJ D/C's and we wait for a new one which only takes a couple minutes.

First pull with the new CNJ...I make sure everyone's ready...go charging in right through the fireflies to the clam...start working on him, and see the healer dead behind me. "What the hell!!!" as he runs back.

Yeah...I forgot to flash that time...

brayflox, last boss, went in without defiance up. was wondering why I wasn't seeing wrath stacks when I was hitting it. after about 30-40% of it's health I look up and realize. defiance on, bloodbath comes off CD, and... I don't remember the skill name, health booster followed by berserk and wailing on that sorry lizard. we won.

tried to type the strategy to the party and auto run into the Stone Vigil boss when 2 of the members were still in cutscene

This one is insanely embarrassing (and probably takes the "derp" cake), especially since it too me so long to figure it out. I ran about a dozen dungeon instances (lower-level, thank goodness), not paying attention to my macros. When editing my macros, I made a copy of the Riot blade one and was simply going to make the Riot<->Savage word change. Well, I forgot to change the skill itself, and since (1) it had the Savage Blade icon (2) I'd never really paid attention to combo animations (3) I wasn't losing hate, I never noticed any issues.

~3 levels later, go to macro in Rage of Halone and notice it says "/ac Riot Blade <t>"... XD

I didn't even learn how to mark mobs until level 45 on GLD/PLD. ._.;; Thankfully someone was very polite with teaching me.

Oh, and using Provoke at the very start of boss battles until 47. ._.;;; It's a miracle most my parties went as well as they did.
