Its from an Era of MMOs where the size of your shoulder pads didn't determine your DBZ power level.
A time long since past... for Tanks anyway.
Hahaha.....if you think the FFXIV team has an obsession with big NFL shoulderpad for tank I think you should check out wow and see how greener the grass is on the other side.
Unrelated note but the overall design of the tank set in first coil was awful. You get the chest piece in the first turn but once you get the full set it was kinda lackluster. All brown just brown like it was rusted. But that's my opinion obviously. Carry on!
The 80's are back! Shoulder pads are in again ;) Fingers crossed for Jareth the Goblin King-esque hair patch next!
I've always found this profoundly unfair myself. Tired of seeing people I run with getting their HA body pieces from earlier turns while I have to wait for mine until T9. I mean, I just want it for glamour at this point but still.
Also, buttwings. Lmao. xD
Lol? I've cleared T8 several times now and not seen a single tank drop. T7 always drops healer crap for my static too (we've seen like 4 coats of healing so far). That's all RNG and has nothing to do with tank stuff dropping more.
beat t13.
