I dont mind light melee trying to tank if I could grab thier weapons and skills and throws some DPS on the mobs

instead of standing there looking like a dumas.

Casters telling me how to tank is just funny, nothing gets me laughing like a caster getting beat on...especially at my feet.

any healer that wants to nuke instead of healing has my heart..thats when i can get up while on /auto attack and get some snacks.

Down with them all! :evil:

A caster who tries to tell you how to maintain agro.

Gah! Just "gah!". I tend to respond with "<caster name> nuke now! nuke nuke nuke! go go go!", depends if they have a sense of humour or not.

EDIT: Just thought of something worse - casters who get agro and won't stand still. I have actually had to resort to shouting "STAND STILL!" at some in the past - how hard is it to grasp that if you're running around it is harder (and with lag impossible) for me to get into taunt range of the mob and save your life? Yeesh

As a Necromancer I never tried to tell the tank how to keep agro. That's just freaking rude in my opinion, in fact I would compliment the ones that could keep me from getting agro. Those tanks were awesome! An SK one night at the wall of slaugter (whom I complemented) and I were seeing if I could get agro away from him . . . Well it took me a long time to find the right combo or he let me win :lol: anyway the mob was like *poof!* on me instantly, and before I could blink or cast Feign Death I was down.

I never liked the people who thought it was a competition to steal aggro from the tank (effin rangers in EQI) seemed to all have this problem...

But I definitely caught myself testing my tank from time to time on a wizzie...heh, I guess its just in our nature to push!

hell, my eq wizzy stole agro today from tanks on 2 raid named so far. Its just fun for me to take a round of dmg from a boss every now and then. I just pop my mind crash and drop my agro. having 12k+ hp buffed helps tho.

As long as you stand still if you take agro, knock yourself out
