How to Help Tanks in Dungeons 101.

[Lachryphage]

Let's start with something that's essential: Do your best to attack the target the tank is currently attacking.

My tank friends would want me to mention not to follow this blindly. They've had to deal with way too many people who ignore their target marks because of similar advice. If a tank has numbered the targets you should kill them in that order.

Secondly - and this is for Arcanists/Summoners - but please don't use your Topaz Carbuncle. When I'm tanking three-four (and more) MoBs, I'm not looking at each individual MoB to make sure they're all looking at me. I check my enemy list. If it shows one (or more) of the MoBs isn't attacking me, then I have to check to make sure it isn't attacking any of you guys, make sure the Carbuncle doesn't die and/or the enmity goes to another player in the dungeon, etc - long story short: As a tank, I want all the MoBs on me. I'll be using moves to increase my defense and enmity, and the healer can worry about the rest. If you're doing damage, focus on doing damage.

Yes, please don't make us this game's version of huntards. You queued as DPS so use your DPS pet. The tank and healer don't need you interfering with agro and nobody wants you gimping your DPS. The yellow pikachu is for soloing only.

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

Don't expect that to work past low levels. Starting at the last boss in Brayflox a pet can't tank a dungeon. It'll stand in stuff and it'll die almost immediately.
