Hi. I'm a tank :)
I put this on a different thread and no one replied. I had a bunch of views but no replies, so I figured since you're getting so many replies on this kinda hate thread, I figured I'd post it here and troll if I can?
I've been playing MMO' s from a while, and have been tanking for a while (2001 on FFXI) and there's something that kills me. Do I literally have to mark the dude you need to kill first or can everyone just understand that you should only hit the one that I'm hitting and not the other adds??? I had a lancer the other day get pissed at me for not being able to hold an imp away from him but had 4 other things on me, all were on me, I was attacking the big armored dude that was the main threat an due literally wanted to "pick off the imps one by one as I was supposed to hold aggro through that". Dude, really? The only person that has an excuse if the mob turns to it is a healer.... cause seriously, sometimes things happen, they can't help saving our lives and they gotta D a massive cure. One tomahawk and that solves that. But I'm not gonna literally spam Overpower and tomahawk on a side imp because you think you can single handedly start picking off mobs on my aggro that I'm not actually fighting.
I've got a better one. So I get into Hala, realize this one dps has no clue, blames me, whatever... So I actually get Fisher Price on him and mark the targets... HUGE number 1 on top of the enemy s they can organize the kills defeat packs quicker...... you know the dude STILL started fighting the off adds, died again and still blamed me???. Wait.... he didn't leave, no. He demanded I leave so they could get another tank.
Sorry to troll your thread, just needed to share since no one reads my "please understand the aggro table and tanking" threads.
Hundred bucks says 50% of the dps'ers don't know where the aggro bar under there name is. :(
Thanks.... Again, sorry for the troll.

If you want the run to go smooth, mark the mobs. Im a tank and I will always mark mobs unless we have a THM pulling with sleep. THen I have him mark mobs. How is that lancer supposed to know which one you want killed first? Tanks have to be constantly switching targets in order to keep adds off the healer. Well good tanks anyways. It sounds like you simply do a couple flashes and then attack one mob. Thats a surefire way to have the adds chasing your healer.
