Tank HP Requirements For Endgame DF Content

You're trolling, right? .... right?

My thought exactly. Seemed a joke post, and assuming it is it's actually pretty funny for being so silly and so many people taking him seriously. lol.

This actually made me laugh. Beyond this being incredibly stupid to actually be of worth to any tank looking to do these instance.

I prefer to have a more set based chart
CM/Prae: AF
WP: AF gear with level 45+ jewelry and ideally GC weapon
AK: AF gear with some WP gear where possible, rest same as WP
Ifrit: similar to WP maybe some lower
Garuda: AK/WP gear and at least GC weapon
Titan: AK/DL primal weapon

Your standards make more sense the OP I'll give you that. The only issue I see is that you require a GC weapon for WP when you can't get your GC weapon until you clear AK.

man soo many haters, if you have less HP you are bound to wipe, plain and simple. there is no such thing as easy garuda clears in the 4ks, AK and WP are debatable but if you have horrible pugs you need my figures to effectively carry. Garuda is barely PUGable, most DF groups wipe three times at least. and obviously I feel DF Titan is out of the question right now, a more honest figure is 7k with an FC, or High 6K.

You can pug titan, and a paladin with 5k+ hp or a warrior with 7k+ hp (in defiance) can easily eat the Mountain Buster in that fight with a competent healer.

A competent Paladin doesn't take damage from Mountain Buster.... (Or takes extremely little). Though you still need competent healers to deal with 8+ Tumults.

When I say ideally I mean I prefer to see it. Of course I have had some really good fresh 50s in WP with only white weapons.

Also I thought they changed the GC promotion quest to Arum Vale http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post1428768 or did I misread what that patch note is saying?

Nope you didn't miss it I did. Good call.

Therefore the HP Requirements for TANKS in Duty Finder groups is as follows:
Wanderers Palace: 4.6k HP

I recently hit 4519HP and guess what I have: Ifrit weapon, iLv 55 head, AF chest (iLv55), AF hand (iLv50), AK belt (iLv60), WP pants (iLv55), AF boots (iLv50), WP shield (iLv55), Militia neck (iLv55), 4 iLv49 crafted accessories (I tried twice and the only ones I could get are either these NQ ones of the iLv70 accessories in these slots). I also have 30VIT.

So to get 4600, I will probably need to have 2 more iLv55 pieces. That will leave me with 4 pieces of gear at iLv50/49.

You want tanks to have 9/13 of their gear at or over what WP drops, in order to do WP. That is what you're saying.

With full Darklight on the left and full HQ Rose Gold on the right, +1 Holy Shield and Curtana, my PLD is at like 5.4-5.6k HP if I remember? (cant get on cause of maint). Im in full ilvl 70 and the Rose Gold is better than darklight once melded. Full ilvl 90 still probably wouldn't get a PLD into 7k, let alone 8k. The HP numbers you are posting are just wild and arbitrary figures posted out of frustration. You should try and find and FC to play with instead of using the DF if you're having such issues. FWIW i've not had that many issues with DF at all myself....

HP values for PLD and WAR are very different, however, want you really want is an ilvl minimum to join via DF. This feature is coming in 2.1, so just hold out a little longer.

Bad players require huge gear advantage to compensate for their lack of brains. AK is perfectly doable with AF1 and you don't need anything from WP for it.

[Yashnaheen]

I'm not actually sure how much HP you can get. Though my FC has a AF2 Head, Chest, Relic WAR and he is only in the low 7s. We also have a AF2 Head, Chest, Relic PLD that is in the mid 5s and is actually slightly less squishy than the WAR. I've never seen a PLD touch 6k. I see how you would get there with mostly 90 gear though.

The OP is either-

1. Trolling.
2. Can't clear anything outside his FC as they have been carrying him for the entire game.

In any case, I still stand by the statement that you don't need anything better than 60 gear for Titan.
