Tanking Strategies

Unorthodox in this context means "To do something drastic" and completely change the game mechanics around. I realize I fumbled the wordplay there. So by all means call me on it and belittle me to your hearts content.

I think Abyssea was pretty unorthodox. To say they haven't done anything unorthodox is just incorrect. They took out a lot of unnecessary time sinks which was embedded in nearly every event (Tags, Campaign rank up, 24 repops, X-days cooldown, etc) and made something very accessible that didn't require a huge LS to be competitive. They've already done something drastic and I hope they continue doing so.

Yes, I am beaten. And I admit my defeat. Using the word "unorthodox" was stupid.

What I meant to say was, it's not common for other MMO's to drastically change the definition of certain classes/jobs. Completely re-working NIN to make it into a "jack of all trades" type DD (as it was originally intended to be), would be "unorthodox" in respect to how other MMO's would approach the issue.
