    Well, before Abyssea, THFs did tank stuff occasionally, but it was typically done by having just the THF and a healer (and maybe a BRD as well), because even with enmity gear, THF just didn't hold hate well enough to keep it off of heavy DDs or anything. But in Abyssea, Evisceration (or Rudra's Storm :P) can easily do enough damage to keep hate more steady on the THF, which helps a lot with tanking. Though, I suppose it also helps that stuff in Abyssea is usually low-manned anyway, so typically if a THF is tanking, you have any DDs holding back, maybe running in to WS occasionally. :P

    I "co-tank" with a thief quite frequently, in that we both melee and hate bounces between us. Having a second tank really lets THF use SA and TA, which is better for kill speed. It also removes the Enmity cap problem that Kyrial described.

    This to me makes more sence than just a single thief tanking alone.

    I just looked up evisceration :Q___

    Should I invest some time into getting a Light Belt? http://wiki.bluegartr.com/bg/Light_Belt

    Light belt works, but so does Aqua and Dark Belt. Get whichever is easiest, or use Warwolf belt or Cuchulain's.
