I'm afraid to queue for dungeons now.

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.

Bees have to die first. Can't interrupt the final sting. Either the bees die or you do

So when I stunned them interrupting the ability and didn't die, I just imagined it?

Hate ppl who refuse to listen to tips or take advice huh? Apparently what you meant to so is: I hate having to deal with anyone who isn't me who refuses to listen to tips or take advice.

And the beat goes on.

Wow rage much? I was simply saying that I was able to stun the bees ergo...it interrupts the sting? Crawl back under your bridge and stop fishing little man.

P.S. I already stated that the bees should die first so it's not really advice telling me what I already know.

Dude, you are right, you can interrupt "final sting". Perhaps because they start it over again, people think that it wasn't interrupted.

But, back to you original point, your DPS should have been able to kill the bees, before they even had a chance to cast it. Sometimes you are going to have to stop it, but should have not had to do it a lot.

Tanking seems to be pretty hard in this game, so keep up the good work.
