every normal raid in final fantasy XIV for a tank main is like a surprise
you never know if the other tank will fight you for aggro through the whole fight, if they wont even bother activating tank stance… even when tank swaps are required…
and some (very specific, very comedic) times, arguments break out!

you could decide who the main tank in or you can both main tank at let it be the rest of the parties problem(main those with positionals)
Imagine arguing about it when the real giga tank move is to use your gap closer and initiate mid sentence. Gunbreaker go zoom! bang! kaboom!
WAR supremacy
I have the opposite of this problem, No tank will stance up till the DPS does anything.
Me and my friend arguing about who gets to be lead singer in our All Bard campaign.
And then the level encounter wipes them both because the healer was too busy deciding which heal to use
I think the only thing worse is two dancers picking the same partner, cuz that 30 second cooldown is a killer.
I just let Fate decide if I'm Main Tank or not tbh
angy tank and sad tank fighting for the most sad backstory lol
At least they're fighting over who is the MT instead of them both jumping right in with no stance and the boss doing a tank buster on the healer.
in this situation the proper action to do is to just do more damage than the other tank so you'll be MT.
Then if they 'voke you wait a GCD, then Voke back and do your ranged attack putting you at the top of the list until the next 'voke.
Repeat until boss is dead.
Often my stance is on first, they put theirs on, and I ask if they wanna MT and they say “nah you do it”. Interesting
See, this is why I dread going to Duty Finder whenever my tanks get to 50. As mostly DPS and Healer, I fear the goofening that'd happen with even a second tank in the room, let alone Alliance Raid.
I have heard of final fantasy but never gotten into it or really watched videos about it what is this small creature with a snout? it amuses me
Clearly the WAR should MT cause the DRK said "we're synced to 70." even though that location is clearly Alexander…
I haven't partaken in a raid yet so thanks for giving me what to expect. 😂
One time, a Burger King Crown got mad at me for turning on my tank stance at the beginning of the fight and went on a spiel in chat about how mentors should lead the fight, and that I was being inconsiderate etc. etc. etc. before we even pulled.
Kids. Let me tell you. That is the EASIEST way to get your second tank to decide to troll you the rest of the trial. Just be nice and actually ask someone if you can be the main tank instead of immediately telling them they're WRONG and INCONSIDERATE. I legitimately stole aggro from her every time I was able to and she somehow continued to whine and complain in text chat the entire trial, it was beautiful. To anyone that remembers a catgirl burger king crown gunbreaker screaming at a lalafell paladin, I want to apologize to you for being caught in the crossfire.
Except you, catgirl burger king crown tank. Go step on Legos.
i just offtank until other tanks go braindead or mess up. it's fun enough to watch the other 2 fight for aggro and rotate the boss.
Reminds me of the person who complained about me not having my stance on despite them having their's on before I got in (two DKs)
I feel bad for them
I just let them MT, idc not worth a pissing contest of aggro bouncing back and forth confusing healers.
But you get co-tanks that dont go tank stance at all, so I do it and pull. Then 5 seconds into the fight: *tank stance, provoke*
Bruh…..
see, this is the problem by not having a DPS Stance as Tank, because who ever turns on their DPS Stance first wins^^
Meanwhile me off-tanking while I was doing raids and trials for the tank mounts:
Shirking to the sprout at the first sign of getting any amount of aggro
"You got this bro"
In my experience, the coolest thing two tanks can do in any 8-man content is talk laconically about who's mt and then proceed to both do the fight perfectly. That there's a connection stronger than Dance Partner.
Bonus points if Tank LB3 is required and one of us asks "You got it? 😎" and the other just answers "Yeah 😎"
there was this time, we were doing unsynched, can't remember the reason
we had 1 tank 2 dps and me, the scholar when that mechanic the one were you have to go the other dimension to kill some small stuff
the tank that is usually a dps went into the portal guess who had to tank
man that big shield is quite usefull…
