Also, I'm noticing this more and more now that I'm doing more CT tanking on Chachan but... is there something about being MT? I usually tend to be the one getting aggro and holding it due to my STR accessories and my overall high iLevel, but the other Alliance tanks will still try to yank it off me... even as they also decry that "there's no prize for being MT."
I was doing Labyrinth... two days ago? with an entire party of the Alliance being myself and my FC mates. And there was this tank that WOULD NOT stop trying to pry the boss off me. This led to positioning problems as he yanked enmity off me while I was trying to get the boss into place (Bone Dragon and last boss)... and the OBNOXIOUS chain beeping noise as the boss de-aggroed and then RE-aggroed onto me.
Let the little midget in plate take the boss. I'll hold onto it, it's okay. Go grab the adds that are PUNCHING YOUR HEALER TO DEATH (Magic Jars fight, no joke. I went to try and save the healer since my group wasn't "phased" to do it and basically got there just in time to watch the healer crumple).
Is there something I'm missing? Or is this just an ePeen thing for some tanks?
I was in WoD last night and had one of those situations where myself and the other two tanks were just sort of silently waiting for the others to take the lead. Finally I Shield Oath'd and just said fuck it and went ahead and started MTing. Immediately the higher geared tank came and ripped all the aggro off me, and maintained it. This happened for every single trash mob and boss. I even politely waited at Angra Mainyu since I thought maybe she's just waiting for everyone to get situated? But we still waited far past that point and she didn't move. Every. Time.
Do you want to MT or not? FUCKING DECIDE.
