I have seen my friend tank he plays in JP server

This was the most important part of the whole thing. Why in gods name would you expect latency to be good when he's playing on the JP servers, and yet you go forth to blame the game instead of the obvious latency issues that would exist when communicating with the JP servers. Foolish.

Not many games get tanks right the first time around. If they're not broken they're OP. Just gotta wait and see what the future has for us in store.

Only issue so far I've had as a tank is that healers have better threat gen then I do as a tank. Seriously freaking healers pump out the threat. So much that if they gain threat it's hard for me to get the mob back without having a taunt.

You are using the bolded part of your statement to support your argument that one tank (a paladin in this instance) is not able to interrupt every ram's voice (let alone both dragon's and ram's) because of the DR that happens with shield bash.

In my previous post that you are quoting, I am stating that this is an incorrect assessment on your part - as one Paladin tank has been able to interrupt every single voice six kills in a row (both dragon's and ram's), without any DR problems.

I am sorry that my post was confusing and you felt I was stating that shield bash has no DR. That was not my intent.

Actually the only suggestion I mafe was to use a brd because there is no DR. Im giving him a solution to his problem. A brd is an easy mode way of doing the fight. Im sorry for confusing you.

No problem, that's a good tip!

soooooooooooooooo true

Use a second Paladin for managing Chimera voices.

Spirits Within the first voice, Shield Bash the second, Spirits Within the third, Shield Bash the fourth and so on until you win. You'll never be caught without one of those two abilities up and he won't build stun resistance.

It really only takes one Paladin to manage everything.

If you are talking avout rams voice( which is the only real danger in that fight) a BRD os supposed to silence it. Shield bash gets diminshing returns amd eventually stops working.

The guy who quoted you is correct. This is not true.

Shield bash will work every time on Chimera if the PLD is the only one doing it. In general, Shield Bash will work 3 times in a row on a mob. On the fourth, it will resist. However, if you allow the mob to use another ability in-between your Shield Bashes, it resets the Stun resist.

So a PLD being the only stunner, you could have the following situation: Ram's voice, Dragon's voice, Ram's voice, <insert random other ability>, Dragon's voice.

You could stun all three voices in a row, then as long as you let the random ability go, you'll be able to stun the next dragon's voice. The problem that occurs is other players "helping" with stun. Every time I've ever wiped on a boss because my stuns were resisted was because someone else was stunning as well. As soon as I told everyone not to stun at all, there were no issues.
