Tanking for a returning team

[Mirage]

Don't really need to have a specific tank when the targets are below even match. Anything with a decent evasion rating will do. dnc, mnk, thf, nin, sam all work.

When you do get to the point where you need a real tank, monk, nin, thf and dnc all work well in abyssea. Pld is good for non-abyssea things and abyssea things that are very heavy on nukes, particularly AoE nukes. Nin also does well outside of abyssea on some stuff.
