They should put a tutorial for tanks, so they know how to generate and keep hate on single target mob, group of mobs.
2nd brayflox normal since last night and I got another horrible tank, I died cause I cured. I just went afk fuck it!
A proper tooltip explaining what Provoke does for the idiots who use it in their "rotation" and to pull. Please.
For the love of all that is holy(litertly)!
Make cleric stance go on cooldown when you turn it off, either on or off, or not go on cooldown at all. FUCK!
To make a laggy as hell UI, where we get in the habbit of spamming buttons, and make it so cleric stance goes back on WITH A COOLDOWN when you accidently hit it twice is ASDF!@#!@#!!!!!!!!! GAH

Can see the OF going into QQ mode with this since, well OF going to OF
I never trust the other BLM to know when the right time to LB is, especially if they aren't very good. Would you? Unless a person volunteers before the fight starts I state I will do it and request the other BLM keep DDing.
I've never done it your new way, I didn't even know you could get enough damage in without it because the LB does a lot more than a flare. Even with that the other BLM would have to be on the ball too and pumping out good damage at the right time so it's not really any less risk.
Sorry but for places like Andapor HM there is nothing idiotic to use Provoke as a pulling tool, especialy in order to avoid the belesphon(s) aggro. (the guys linked to the whitemage stones just before last boss.)
Whenever I do it on MNK/BLM/BRD, the tank aggro everything including said mobs & the 2 others panic and go totaly brainless, resutling in wipes 50% of the time.
Edit: I'm also quite upset with SE for not giving craftable iLv90 accessories, I mean wtf.. GSM became really useless recently and they are not doing anything to fix it in next patch..
Yup, nothing wrong with provoke pulling. I do it all the time, saves walking distance.
If you're Provoke pulling, it better be for good reason.
Most of the time, it's not for a good reason.
If I walk over 5 steps and tomalob a monster, I have the same enmity on it than if I provoke it, let it walk 5 steps over toward me, and then tomalob it.
I don't have to move 5 steps and it gets where I want it to be faster.
Anyone who has a problem with that is moron lol.
Well you can pull the 2 tomberrys before the boss 2 of WP with Provoke so your DPS can AoE them with the rest, you'd pull the 2 right after boss2 mid stairs to avoid the Stalker to show up.
You can do as I previously said in Andapor HM, you'd pull the succubus before boss3 in the NM version, if you're agile enough you can pull the pack2 on top of the roof before Livia in CM, these are a few good reasons and the list goes on.
TLDR: A good tank know when to voke-pull, but there is nothing idiotic in doing so as the long range can be quite an advantage.
Provoke pulling when you know what you are doing and why is much different then provoke pulling when you don't know what you are doing or why.
Riot Blade needs to be attained after Rage of Halone.
I've noticed like 90% of low level GLD just see the higher potency on it and assume it replaces Savage Blade and think that the way to keep hate is to spam Flash and recover MP with Riot.
That be kinda a pain for group pulls and getting mp back after flash spam.
But ya its funny to see lol. I try and explain and most don't give a shit.
I recently spammed low level dungeons for Foestriker's skirt. Every GLD who was spamming riot blade (and not using flash) and wouldn't listen was summarily vote kicked after the first boss.
Fuck that shit.
I have no idea what you're trying to say.
There's no need to spam Flash ad-nausea to the point where you need to use Riot Blade in regular dungeon leveling.
.......level 50 SRs are "regular dungeon leveling" to you?
