Not to mention the bigheaded healer who thought he should run around in front, open chests in the middle of fights, and constantly cast aero on every enemy no matter what. It's like running a preschool class.(09-17-2013, 01:03 AM)Oroban Wrote: Yep, that's what I'd been doing is dragging him to the second boulder to let the DPS AoE. But tonight I moved onto Halatali, and the joy of teammates who refuse to kill the fire wisps and thus get us all incinerated. Joy!hehe, I did that tonight on my alt(MRD) why do the DPS insist on charging ahead to their doom? I try to set things up with markers for a nice clear order of when things die, and some DPS jumps the gun and gets all the mobs locked on them... This isn't XI where the archer pulls and then the tank steals the hate easily. nope in XIV who ever hits it first is GOING to take damage, and a decent amount too. I end up spamming my AoE just to get things attention, and that's not cheep on the TP cost.
I've had a couple good parties that let me do my job and tank, but those are too far and few between. It is quite draining to have to tell the party what to do the entire way because no one knows how to not attack the mob that is happily wailing on me, but is marked number 3 and we are still killing number 1... I feel so sorry for tanks after playing my first few trips of halatali and toto-rak as a tank.(is it really worth the instant que times?)
