Not saying every time the fault is with the tank, sometimes the DD's do keep using abilities they should not.
    BLM spells are pretty powerful at low level though. Especially BLM could out damage a DD through Spellcasting speed especially now that elemental adjustments have now made casting faster.

    DD that does not have skills capped or does not have proper gear can still lose hate. Balance as a team is where strategy falls into play. Need to give tanker time to cause enough hate to keep mob under control and mages also need to help out by not casting too much to draw hate from mob onto them.

    In which cases sometimes mages need to back off and wait for the tanker to recover control.

    This cannot be learned or practiced effectively in gusgen mines when 17 other people are gang banging mobs.

    Well duh. There are certain dynamics of parties that can only really be learned in them. However, can still learn most of how most jobs work without them.
