Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

i thought they fixed this ages ago!?!

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

They only "reduced" lock from cures. Nothing else. So yeah, Haste-lock, RA-lock, Random low mob casting Stone-lock, none of that is gone.

Durahan I laughed so much at that post my roomates thought I was dying

I like Cure lock purely because getting some party members to stay still long enough to cure them can be a nightmare. It sometimes makes me wish I can Bind/Repose party members just so I can heal them

Except that by the time the cure lock takes place, you've already finished casting the spell, and the spell has already taken effect on the target. So it doesn't really impact your ability to get your spells off, just keeps the meat-heads from going all smashy-smashy as quickly as they would like.

But you missed the important thing: It still gets people to stand still.

Yes I know this has been said over and over but...........

Tanks that don't stand still long enough for protect and shell. I've trained my son (pld & nin) to stay rooted to the spot until I'm done & to come to me when I hit my {Gather together} macro, but now I'm in a new shell and the leader is a pld that WILL NOT STAND STILL!! I have a macro that posts WITH a gentle call and he STILL runs away. Most of the time it feels like its on purpose too! I'll see him stationary and near everyone, I'll run up and hit my macro, call goes off & posts to the pt/ally that I'm buffing, and right in the middle of the first spell casting BOOM he's gone. I've had VERY non-white mage thoughts....he's been hung, throat slit, disemboweled, boiled in oil,.....

I just refuse to buff anyone who ignores the "{Gather Together!} {Protectra} {Shellra}!" call and refuse to stay still for the original Protectra/Shellra until I have to recast it. Most people eventually get the picture and stay still.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Not quite the same thing as TGM mentioned, but still somewhat irritating, is the number of actual tanks, in the rare case where tanking still happens, who like to shift around the mob, or don't like people standing behind them, or something, and thus constantly move out from in front of me while I'm setting up TA. Hello, I'm a THF, a big part of my job at least used to be planting hate on you. Maybe I'm living in the past but would it kill you to humor me? ; ;

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

yeah people need to hold still

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I like being TA'ed, usually when my boyfriend and I are duoing with him on THF, I'll let him TA me so that I can hold hate long enough for him to SA + WS, for even more damage. Fun times tanking on WHM after being TA'ed.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

yeah and you're a whm D:
theres this one pld in my ls who always has to run in circles and when he does stand still; its if the mob is beating on another tank and so he will stand not behind the mob (for a sata) but kind of to the side of them
i think he just doesnt want to do any work tanking =/

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

So stupid, tanking can be fun sometimes.

One of the best tanks I've ever seen was a Tarudin. It was impossible to pull hate off that little guy no matter what me, the RDM and the DRK tried
