Seeking Help From Experts: Tanking

Yes, marking enemies helps in small groups of mobs, and as for ifrit, remember to throw in flash here and there, to preserve your TP, so it doesnt drain too fast.

its not as potent as ur Savage blade, or spamming savage blade non stop, but it helps a ton. Provoke only makes u equal to the highest threat, and then adds 1, so if they hit it before u do, they should be higher in threat, even after a provoke. So if you're low on TP, dont provoke right away, unless u know u can spam a few enmity generating abilities right after.

Also mark enemies that are either weak, or going to use range attacks, as they will be out of range of AoEs, unless u start on them 1st.

You want as little dmg on you as possible, so killing weak ones 1st is best. (also kill healers)

Next, start with a ranged attack, and let mobs come to you, this way you're nto taking dmg as u wait on the 2.5 GCD for flash/overpower.

Usually healers love to heal u before u AoE, and so its best to let mobs come to u, and then AoE as they get into range. (There will be no delay in your AoE because the GCD should be over.
