2.2: Can you feel the (Tank) Love?

The tank love is enormous this patch! From epic gear design to new mounts. I haven't been this excited in awhile. This is guaranteed to get more people to join our ranks of tanks.


High Allagan Heavy Armor
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 110 Armor + 115 Weapons (?)
Second Coil of Bahamut

Gerolt's Masterworks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 100 Armor + 100 Weapons (?)
Purchased with: Allagan Tomestones of Soldiery

Note: Both pictures are showing off the same armor set. Therefore it is highly likely that the Soldiery Sets can all be dyed.


Crafted Gear
~~~~~~~~~
Level 90 Armor + 90 Weapons
Requires: Master Crafting Books

Very similar to level 70 Crafted armor. However, there's a bit more detail in this armor, the helmet looks far cooler, and the helmet is NOT attached to the body. Note: The helmet moves up and down when he is waving during this video.


Level 50 Mounts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Warrior: Bear Mount

Paladin: White Lion (Scales to the size of the player like a Chocobo)

Paladin crafted gear is way better than Warrior, but Warrior mount is way betterthan paladin.

It all balances out! Im more excited fro the fact that the bonuses are being increased for tanks.

If they want to fix the tank problem they need to go back and redesign all of the instanced content to support 5 character parties (1 tank 3 dps 1 healer). Every other MMO does this and that is why they don't have a tank problem. Tank problem exists in FFXIV because of the unbalanced ratio.

When they showed the Paladins sword and shield for allagan set - I was so envious. Dem tanks. /shakes fist.

It's the same crafted gears, just dyed black on warrior. I'd be fine with that axe if Levi and Allagan2 axes weren't so epic. Doesn't matter, I have both tanks. xD

I assumed that the armor pictured with the Lion motif weapons was the Soldiery token armor sets.

OK OK I succumbed to the temptation, they showed that Lion mount and I HAVE TO HAVE ONE. Gladiator is lvl 16 as we speak new Paladin heading to Adamantoise :D

Oh wow, I had no idea that first image set glows in the dark. Now that is fancy.

#EXCITED!

The goldish one? I think people said that's frontlines/pvp gear?

I am ok with tanks getting all the things!
