This alone, is my response to this thread... if people really have no clue about MNK/WAR tanking, just find a decent MNK on your server and ask him for advice. these threads are too populated with newbies to get decent advice.

i know damn well what counter does , i also know that there is content out side of abyssea. content were your acc and counter rate are no longer capped , and even content were OMG your acc isnt capped learn to do some content out side of abyssea ive tanked all T1-3 void watch NM's on monk and i promise you there is no way in hell you can do it on /war. they have the abillity to hit to hard to fast and to accurate for your counterstance alone to be enough to save you.

void watch is the only 90+ content outside of abyssea atm that and WoE *another event /war will get you trucked on with monk* and with enough cures any job can tank a mob , THROW MORE CURES isnt always an option.

If we're assuming all Voidwatch? I'd very much like to see you tank Hahava and Voidwrought on MNK with only 1 WHM as your support.

Caste ni
wait for 3 shadows
pop pefrect counter
caste ichi
repeat as nessicary OR
pop perfect on the last shadow of ni and regardless of if the mob strips the shadow manually drop it when ichi is 1/2 way cast.
