Stunbot is NOT fun

[Illya]

As a WAR with one stun, with a long animation, and a 30 second recast I say...

Yes it's annoying, but you'd rather have it than not, trust me.

It's why WAR is always "relegated" to MT role on HM Ifrit, because our stun doesn't CD before the pattern comes around to another Eruption. It's also why people join HM Ifrit, look at each other, and if there isn't a PLD in the party everyone just leaves. I'm all for utility here and WAR is much less utility than PLD because our stun is such garbage compared to theirs.

It is not stressful at all. Thats the problem. Its utterly boring and uninteresting and its basically SE way to say: "We know these fights are fine with 1 tank but df needs 2 tanks so here we go".
I mean its fine on ifrit since there is a predictable pattern so at least but since the stun is on gcd if there is no real pattern you basically just autoattack for a fight. Woohooo.

I don't mind stuff like this now and then but 2 tank content so far is utterly shit for one tank always.
There is a reason why most wow 2 tank fights have mechanics that require tank switch or just come with 2 tankable stuff at once.

The Hydra has a 2-tank mechanic where both tanks stack on each other to split Triumvirate's damage. That's a mechanic borrowed straight out of WoW. So it's not as if they don't know about 2-tank mechanics. What they do with the 2-tanks paradigm is I guess up to them to figure out. Squenix seems pretty set on the endgame 8-man encounters all being 2-tank, 2-healer dungeons at any rate.
