ALL of my tanks failed to hold threat on the mobs they've been focusing. I'm not using any abilities that generate threat, and I'm not THAT good, so why is it that I can't find a good tank?!
I'm starting to suspect some pugtanks have a mindset of "If I use defiance/grit/shield oath, I can spam my DPS combo" these days. It's terrifying...

if you're being out threated as a tank here's a few easy solutions
- Upgrade your weapon - Let it happen, provoke, immediately use your ranged if out of range, threat combo if not. - If that doesn't work insert flashes in-between - If that doesn't work re-evaluate class choice |

You're thinking of Shadewalker, which transfers 80% of Ninja's generated aggro to the target. Smoke Screen only reduces the amount of enmity a target regenerates. Proceed to insult the ninja if they throw SS on a tank unless mechanics dictate otherwise. |

The description on these are horrible.
I can make this assessment because I've seen worse. |

Got bullied out of a DF run in Sohm Al yesterday, during the part where you're encountering the cryo dragon, I was dancing around the AoE because I was trying to reduce the stress on the healer, anything to reduce workload is accepted for me. However I accidentally ran in front of a Monk during their positionals, and he got smacked by two Flash Floods and a Granite Rain, and was basically murdered. Supposedly the rest of the people were his friends, and they called me a joke because I wasn't able to keep the AoE from hitting them. GM'd them after I was booted from the dungeon, I hope I never meet them again.

I've been lucky enough not to come across such NINs in my Expert or Leveling Roulettes. Of course, it's as healer... but I haven't seen any I've gotten run off to pull or anything like that. Mostly just BRDs and DRGs doing that sort of thing.
Though, my personal pet peeve right now are tanks I Deployment Tactics Adlo and Eye for an Eye off of... and then they just stand around until either the buffs have dropped off or have, like, a second left. I've gotten to the point that I start hoping there's a ready check before bosses now so I can Deploy before I hit ready. |
