    3) There are several: not just 1. Might know this if you were in coil more often.
    I have been in Turn 5.

    Tanking is way more stressful to play as cause they are easier to blame than a DPS.

    Are you serious? You have trouble with the other four stages? Ok, then I don't think you know what you are talking about.

    I find the only thing stressful is healing. Tanking is by far the easiest in this game, and DPS is only easy if you don't care about maximizing DPS and dodging.

    You have been in Turn 5 yet have not beaten it. You claim this game is easy. This seems to be a contradiction.

    Tanking is not stressful at all once the fight is learned. Learning a fight is stressful for everyone.

    I have all three roles leveled. Healing is by far more stressful than the other two combined. DPS is only stressful if you seek to maximize DPS. Tanking is nothing in comparison.

    I will say that each turn stresses different roles, though. Turn 1 stresses silence coordination (you have none as BLM), healer coordination and efficiency (you are a BLM: not a healer), and tank communication (you are a BLM: not a tank). Turn 2 stresses different things depending on which path you take. Left: silence communication (you have none as BLM), tank swaps (you are a BLM: not a tank), healer communication/efficiency (you are a BLM: not a healer), and rot rotation (you do 1/5th of the work and have aetherial manipulation to get to people making it a very easy fight for BLMs). Turn 4 stresses AoE damage and healer efficiency.

    It isn't surprising that you have no difficulty in turn 1-4 as BLM given the above. Think I'm biased? Think again: my main is BLM.

    I have no trouble with the other four turns. You seem to have trouble with Titan Ex, though. I do not find him to be difficult. Are you a person who also uses enrage for turn 2?

    You have no tank leveled. You cannot speak for tanks in endgame content. You are assumed to use SMN as well meaning you have no healer leveled. You cannot speak for healers in endgame content.

    In other words, what this poster said:

Garuda got me to move around a bit but for the most part there isn't anything difficult about it. DPS is a job I play when i just don't feel like being in the spotlight anymore. plus as a monk i kind of like punching things. really tired of tanks who think they have the hardest job in the game lol.

    I have a paladin, I have whm, and sch all at 50.

    I do whatever the party wants to do for the turns.

    Titan I have lag with. I have sent in a report to Verizon and SE. This problem where everyone stops for 3 seconds then everything goes off, never happens in any other fight.

    Like I said before 1 fight does not make up for the rest of the game. 1 other fight being only difficult because of Lag is not something anyone should use as an example.
