Congrats, DPS player for being #2 in enmity. Your reward is obliteration.

[@edtazrael]

The explosion almost let me spit out my coffe. Well done brother.

[@BirdCyclops]

Thank you bro!

[@Digsidian]

Makes me feel for our Red Mage when they win the "off-tank for the pull" award, because they were clearly having some real good RNG up until then.

[@thornangel16]

You can be at level 10 or level 90, but the moment someone stops paying enough attention to certain cooldowns it can all be over quick. You could say... like "BOOM" ya know? ...Can somebody call a healer please? I'm kinda dead as f-

[@Deesar_]

This happens to me a lot and lowkey I think it only happens because my group thinks it's funny when I scream at a tank buster marker marker jump scaring me.

[@Chichaetomate]

When that happens will everything around you will die... Run towards them and see how the laughs turn into fear

[@Ytteval]

Its nice that with the power of Cover, you too can (sometimes) save the poor sap who's eating a tank buster against their will feels good

[@MyVanir]

But the poor sap doesn't move out of the crowd, so everyone else dies.

[@Loispealz34]

Or. Hear me out here. You let them die. Because it's funny. Every single time.

[@StriderHoang]

Thank god, as a reaper, that my static also has a summoner. Pretty much guarantees any forgotten tank stance mistakes go to him and his Bahamut opener.

[@Chichaetomate]

I see tank buster i throw haima I don't even think what is being targeted... Once i realize it's a dps... Welp there goes a good haima down the toilet

[@flameonboi]

totally gonna survive this *adds manaward* hmm yes i think i'll be sa-

[@Sunari]

So used to it being our samurai but there was a fight I can get it at the beginning as dancer and the surprise was real followed by the sadness (and laughs)

[@Aitherea]

Tank stance strikes again

[@ZurichiVonVorst]

Funny thing about me is I have Tank Stance on ALL THE TIME! Changing my Glam TANK STACE IS ON, Eating a Egg TANK STANCE IS ON, People watching In all the Major Cities because I'm bored and need to stretch in real life. You bet your sweet Fell Cleave TANK STANCE IS ON!

[@tatlxtael2303]

F in the chat for our top dps, punished for another's sins u-u

[@KenanVonKaiser]

I Remember The Last Tank Paniced Shirk To A Black Mage! Black Mage Said: Shirking To A Black Mage Is The Most Desperate Move Ever XD! I Agree!

[@MrGamerCaptain]

at least it was early on

[@kemix1006]

Poor poor mage. Oh well, healer rez him, I've got gang signs and a 2 minute burst period to do!

[@okllo]

big badaboom!

[@StellariumSound]

My man working during Lunarcon.

[@BirdCyclops]

you know it ☝

[@HaddaClu]

Happens all to often to me as Reaper. I usually rush / teleport into the group when it does for fun.

[@DenemeDokio]

....I will be honest and admit this mistake has been made before by myself during a raid. Luckily I was paladin and had cover to throw on the poor samurai who was about to get recked in Abyssos eighth circle savage. The sheer panic in their voice in discord will never be forgotten.

[@pepekovallin]

Oh, so even as an off-tank I should have my Tank stance on huh?.... good to know

[@zeng58]

Hey Adan it was a huge pleasure to meet you in lunarcon I was the viera alpan sureli. And that was on point of the tank 😂

[@BirdCyclops]

Oh!! I remember your viera is so cute yeah!!! 💕

[@zaphyy]

Not Savage but I remember surviving an alliance raid TB as sage with the help of my fellow scholar :')

[@ashemage19]

i wear a tankbuster as a dps like im wearing a medal haha

[@unclebara7356]

I don't savage but I feel that on a personal level. BLM red tank real.

[@BirdCyclops]

BLM as a Job acts like a living, walking Tank mitigation!

[@zirilan3398]

DPS adjust!

[@Jasar25]

This is my favourite thing in history of ever.

[@fauxfirefur]

Nothing more than a small hunch.

[@VooshSpokesman]

Love from a Jocat and Vaush fan!

[@Nightmare18JAKX]

The whole tier I have done this to my SAM, to real lol.

[@Fluffyfurrets]

I am constantly paranoid about my tank stance being off.

[@Narlaw1199]

As a dragoon main, I can't relate to dieing from aggro in savage content ;(

[@HezrouDhiaga]

"You DARE get second agro DPS scum!? Begone, THOT!" *insert dead dps here*

[@Vanessa80808]

Too accurate

[@ouknow12]

RIP Moose...

[@BirdCyclops]

moose and marty hate my ass for sure

[@claw836]

Me: not playing FFXIV - i still laughed

[@GimmeTOKYO]

Sasuga Off Tank kun

[@kaimaverickhunter]

I've been the victim of this many times XD

[@eksporter]

so yeah, i'm sorry to the top dps during that opener. 🤣

[@Bayonette]

Ever since being pushed forward to be the MT, I have not killed our SAM with Tank busters at all. they still wont let me live it down though.

[@AshnSilvercorp]

As MT in these scenarios, if I notice the OT without enough emnity, I like to use shirk to force them to catch up.

[@biddaminesquire3007]

My favorite thing to do when I off-tank is to just race the main tank to see if I can peel the boss off of them.

[@flamingrubys11]

had this happen once when i was new i tend t< dianle my stance in overowlrd so one time i went into the ultima fight like f yeah lets go..... and then the mage got nuked

[@UnholyGB]

This is hilarious

[@trentghostbro7724]

Love being a tryhard DPS aka third tank

[@ElywinCarrinithshinyhunting]

*Just a hunch*

[@fluffykitten077]

Live by explosion, die by explosion. True BLM experience.

[@BlackgameChile]

Yeah. Oof

[@kohlicoide2258]

P9S Practice was.. "great" get shittalked from a Gunbreaker who dies in the duality of death tankbuster because he dont use any mitigation at all *facepalm* PS. Before someone trys to shittalk me.. i already cleared this Fight as PLD, DRK and GNB.. its not fucking hard to weave mitigation and taunt there

[@greatazuredragon]

XD

[@ringthatkill]

Lmao

[@Bigbabki]

Well ,it's an off tank so it's normal to have is tank stance on off

[@BirdCyclops]

for p9s there is a mechanic that has both tanks swap a dual buster (tank buster that targets both the main threat and second threat in the aggro list! thats why it is important for both tanks to have their stances up after around 6 or 6 GCDs!

[@Bigbabki]

@@BirdCyclops It was a joke lads ! (off tanks , tank off )

[@BirdCyclops]

@@Bigbabki NOOOOO IM SO DUMB DUDEE

[@epser5842]

bro what happened to DnD 😭

[@BirdCyclops]

D&D killed my grandma

[@galanothi]

I will be honest with you, I didn't get this one.

[@BirdCyclops]

tank busters are very strong, telegraphed hits that put a big ol marker on your head before they go off tanks, the bulwarks of the party are in charge of mitigating that damage by taking the busters any other non tank will die if hit by these, due to how strong they are

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

added context: FOR SOME UNFORSEEABLE REASON FF14 turns off passive buffs like this every time you go into dungeons lower level than you, making it VERY easy to forget tank stance is no longer on.

[@Soridan]

@@gratuitouslurking8610 I made a macro that greets people in party chat and puts on the stance. Now I just need to start being polite.
