    Speaking of tanking without an aegis/ochain/epeolatry, I'm curious about other jobs tanking as well. Namely, while gearing up MNK I can't help but notice that literally all of MNK's JP gifts (outside of a whopping -10 to delay and the obligatory att/acc boosts) involve guard and counter. Between those, Perfect Counter/Counterstance, and relatively easy access to -pdt% gear, it would seem to make a rather decent tank (and it did back in the abyssea days).

    Main problem though is magic damage taken. Wonder if that could be worked around, or does everything just toss out too much AoE spells nowadays?

    He once sold his soul to Promathia for a rare drop. He later won it back in a drinking contest, before beating up the twilight god for good measure.
    He's won dance-off trophies from the Republic of Bastok, the Duchy of Jeuno, and the Yagudo Theomilitary.
    He's won entire arguments with a single leer.
    He is the most interesting galka in the world.

    I think the majority of NMs nowadays all of some spamable form of magic AoE or enfeeble AoEs. I think that's one of the drawback to melees participating in endgame things. Probably why people prefer lolAegis
