    Yet another player who thinks WoW created the mmo genre or had the most well known ideas first. FFXI has had mechanics for years where dmg was shared out and split amongst all those caught in it (10,000 needles or vitriolic barrage anyone?) Even before the skills i mentioned there were scenarios where having 1 tank would be very very risky or pretty much result in a wipe if the 1 tank died, like back when ppl at 75 cap actualy geared for -PDT for byakko's triple attacks or direction swipes and that included nin tanks.

    dont give credit where credit isnt due. SE dont need to "figure out" what to do with 2 tank mechanics like they are some newbies to the idea. They brought ffxiv back from the brink, give them some credit and well deserved benefit of the doubt for future coming fights aswell.
