How to Help Tanks in Dungeons 101.

[Khalus]

Bring Enemies TO the Tank - if you get attacked run TOWARD the Tank so they can grab the foe from you.

Would be nice if that ever happened!

sure would.
even after telling people multiple times, I find dps attacking #3 while I'm still on #1 then when it aggros they run away from me.... /sigh

I've resorting to explaining how I run the dungeon before we get started: {gotta love it when a dps runs ahead and dies during the explanation too...}

#1 always assist me
#2 stay behind me, never run ahead and aggro/pull mobs
#3 if you pull aggro and run away I won't help, you will die!

Best part about #3, most healers concur and we let them die until they learn not to do it...rofl! And if they leave, big deal, there are a plethora of other DPS waiting to get in on the action!

General use of Topaz Carbuncle or Titan-Egi can mess things up and for the main part of the dungeon

the ACN should really use either Emerald Carbuncle, Ifrit-Egi or Garuda-Egi. I'm just saying that on a few of the dungeon bosses Topaz Carbuncle and Titan-Egi can be a great help. it does how ever require the tank, ACN and healer to work together.

Absolutely, do not use Topaz or Titan, ever, they are for solo and more dps is better!

And as long as everyone follows the #1 rule "assist the tank" I have no problems holding the boss and 4+ mobs. Also don't ever engage new adds to boss fights until I have them under control, it just causes havoc!
