Tank shortage is going to get worse.

From what I've experienced, tanking in this game is pretty easy in terms of holding aggro and I'm not sure how people have a hard time with it. Granted, I am not level 50 playing with people that have 20+ item level lead over me; but I kept hearing how hard it was so I decided to give it a go. Heck, even tonight when in that level 32 dungeon the blm was just spamming his aoe spells and I wasn't losing aggro. All I have to do is run in, heavy swing, flash, maim, over power a few times, and then use my threat combo while tabbing through the enemies during it to spread the high threat moves throughout.

The only thing I can think of is people are using the wrong combos. I.E. a pally using the mp regeneration combo expecting it to build more threat because the last move does more damage. Or maybe a warrior doing the maim combo over and over instead of the headsplitter combos because it gives you a buff... But, from what I've seen if you use your high threat combos/moves, maintaining aggro is very simple in this game. I am curious to see how it changes when I get the self heal combo at 36, but considering I always have such a huge lead in threat with all the enemies over the others in the group, I doubt it will be much of a problem.
