    Been tanking since level one (technically not but you get my point) and feel like I can do a really good job. However I tanked Sunken Temple of Qarn for the first time yesterday, my god it was a painful experience even though I had my pocket healer friend. We have two DPS (Monk and Dragoon) who never said a word throughout the run, they seemed to be able to follow the marks I put down however when it came to those bee mobs with the instant kill ability...I tried to explain to them that final sting NEEDED to be stopped somehow, either by stunning or interrupting but they did nothing of the kind. This was even more fun on the doom boss as I was forced to tank the bees that spawned, despite them being relatively easy to kill they both decided to only focus on the boss. Luckily my healer friend was dotting them up but I had to keep an eye on them for final sting and stun them myself, which costs a lot of TP and is not off the GCD...

    TLDR: I like tanking but I hate having to deal with people who refuse to listen to tips or take advice. I will never queue as DPS on my own because too much in this game requires a tank with a brain, which many seem to leave checked at the 1017 door.
