How to Help Tanks in Dungeons 101.

[Sheer]

There are situations where Topaz Carbuncle or Titan-Egi can be a great help to tanks and I would have them summoned for the purpose of assisting the tankt

If the tank is okay with it, then it's fine (if a tank doesn't want a Topaz carbuncle out, it's usually best to keep it away), but there are alternatives - for example, in Satasha, it may be easier to have a ranged DD keep an eye on the grates and interact with them whenever the water starts to bubble. I was in a group where both DDs were ranged, so those two and the healer spread out to three of the four grates while I held the boss in the middle. One DD had to keep an eye on two grates, but otherwise, the run was phenomenal.

However, that situation depends on the preference of the party members as well as the classes involved. Obviously if the DDs that were in my party were melee DDs, it would have been much harder to have them keep an eye on the grates. At the end of it all, I suppose it comes down to the situation - there's more than one "right" way to do it.

like I said "a clued up tank" which i mean a tank that is willing (maybe with arrangement between tank and ACN).

I got an video of the Sastasha attempt of the boss in question that I managed to tank the boss.

the pt setup when i did the boss was ACN(me) CNJ, GLD (tank in question) and ARC

Not to sound like a dick but i dont get all the tanking issues. Ive played my fair share of mmos and this is one of the easier to tank IMO. Be in a dungeon tanking groups of mobs while checkin something on my phone and puffin some trees...and still not lose aggro on even one mob. Seeing like 4+ pages on this nearly made my brain explode
