- Upgrade your weapon
- Let it happen, provoke, immediately use your ranged if out of range, threat combo if not.
- If that doesn't work insert flashes in-between
- If that doesn't work re-evaluate class choice

I'd add another point between 3 and 4.
- If that doesn't work, look at the party: if you have a Ninja, tell him to stop using Smoke Screen on you while you're pulling.
... It awfully happens a lot.

Is smoke screen the one that is the Ninja aggro-dump? Shouldn't it actually put the threat on you?

I ask, because I actually had a Ninja tell me that they will happily pull more mobs than I wanted and just place aggro on me so I can't -actually just let them die.- I don't mind big pulls but pull something without asking me to is just rude. Let me know, ask, etc. Don't just do it.

Lmfao I had a ninja try that with me.

I just kept turning the mobs to him when they did the marked attacks. I survived and he died anyway and I proceeded to type "lol my bad"

You must adapt to deal with the trolls Kage san.

I didn't really actually have it happen because the healer said "yeah it'd be cool to pull more."

So I did and the NIN never actually did anything.

Although, I have picked up aggro when someone auto-ran or a Monk shoulder tackles. Cause the healer ran in and I don't like healers dying

Smokescreen is the NIN skill that reduces threat. Shadewalker is the one that dumps 80% of the NIN's threat to whoever they use it on (ideally, the tank). As a NIN, if my tank's having a hard time, I tend to just throw Shadewalker on them, spam what little AoE I have, and hope for the best.

Now. I've definitely used Smokescreen on a tank before (COMPLETE accident, was trying to get used to new skill positions), but Shadewalker should easily fix that... if they're smart. You just end up turning yourself into their threat generator until Smokescreen wears off (though I wouldn't recommend this kind of screw-up in EX or Alex (Savage).)

Uhhh, back on topic...

OTs that don't save their heals from laser beams of death in A4... Q___Q
