Ah I accidentally turned off my stance once mid boss as a PLD. When the dps got the tank buster was when I realized, I was able to cover them and take the aggro. That was a cool moment for me
As a main healer I have healer syndrome (which is basically not stopping to see the hp bar and the debuffs of my companions) so as soon as I see that when the pull begins the tank does not have the aggro stance activated, I avoid attacking to gain aggro and I let the tank know to activate its stance
This happened to me as a Sage lol. Had to remind the Tank to turn their enmity on but they wouldn't listen. I had to take back my Kardia and place it on myself bc me trying to heal the DPS would just get all the aggro on me throughout the first pull
Oh, this was me! Newbie tank, not long ago. My brother, sitting next to me, yells "Tank stance!" as he is getting eaten on his newbie WHM that's trying to keep my arse alive. We switched roles. Good times, Good times. 😂😂😂
The first few seconds after the barrier disappear and neither tank has turned on stance cause we are in a silent debate of who is going to MT So we just watch the party list like: 🛡👀 🪓👀 …. 🪓🅰️👀 🛡: 👍
Meanwhile everyone else standing there like: "Anyone fucking home!?!?!"
I won't lie, as a healer main my reaction is basically "challenge accepted". I won't say a word. I just start healing anyone who needs it and wait for them to notice. I've had tanks get halfway through the dungeon before realizing. It's great.
If I don't have my stance, it's probably because I turned it on before accepting queue, forgetting for the millionth time in my over decade-long career that syncing down stupidly turns it off.
To be fair….the game makes tank stance drop if it syncs your level down. If there was a way to stop that from happening, that would be nice…since you get your stance pretty early in the game. Should be able to set it once and be done. Having to sync down for Fates and turn your stance back on is really annoying. T-T
I had tanks that forget there stance and don’t pay attention to us tell its not on in the chat till all the enemies are in me or other dps and we both end up dead or the healer is dead on the ground when we have no other source of res
No need to be snarky or rude. Just type "stance" or "tank stance" and they usually put it on. If not, live through the damage and show them you are a green or red tank. Show them how it's done. Then boop them on the nose and say "hi"
I've been in only 1 dungeon where the tank didn't turn on Tank stance at all and ignored begging in the chat (have no idea why we didn't kick him). Wasn't able to keep mobs brought to his side either. Best bard/dancer tanking I'll ever see, and the healer was amazing.
sometimes i just forget 😅 when i get to play im on most of the day. i had a healer the other night say "please tank turn on your tank stance!!" they were nice about it but i wish they had said something earlier! 🥺
I was that sage last night when my tank forgot to stance in expert roulette 😂
I feel that. Thats my reaction. Healers just pull themselves now 😂 They give no fuccs.
That tank would be me while I'm relearning the 5h of experience in tanking I had half a year ago as gunbreaker 😅

I also had tanks that just didn't have their jobstones equipped at all :')
My silent "Tank stance!" is running through the enemy horde and across the tank so they can get aggroed 😂

"Oh dear. Okay. Which of us is on rez duty?" "Probably the one who survives."

I go through a whole pile of questions when I forget tank stance:
Why are the dps dying?
Why doesn’t this dungeon hurt?
Who is pulling the mobs off me?
OHHHHHHHHH
I know who that tank is, and I know them very well. Oh, it was ME!
This is a common issue easily fixed by just auto stance activation upon entering a duty with only 1 tank…

Tank: "what do you mean turning off stance isn't a mit? Am I taking damage? I think NOT" 🤣
My favorit is when this happend in a alliance raid.. 3 Tanks alive.. who tanks the Boss? some random dps that is unlucky that he does the most aDPS.
And at some point the boss: "YOU HAVE THE HIGHEST DPS!" says the boss calmly before vaporize the dps with a Tankbuster.
That's an "Oh hell" moment.

Fastest Vercures in the West in order to make it out with my head attached

I've tried to get into the habit of hitting tank stance IMMEDIATELY when entering a dungeon/trail/raid but we all forget sometimes ^^;

WELL MAYBE IF SYNCING DOWN DIDN'T KEEP TURNING IT OFF THIS WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM
I'm honestly guilty of this. all because of that level sync nonsense.
The amount of times I've done this on controller by accident and not realised then people in dungeon chat saying Tank stance 😅

Tank stance! 😅

Had a few assholes read when we told them to activate tank stance and say they wouldn't do it, enjoy being kicked
Me as Tank: thinks the tank stand is on, when in reality it turns off when joining random
Dear God I'm sorry 😂 I Forgot
