Why no one tanks...

If by effort, you mean *slightly* more than is required for DPS jobs, sure. It does not require more effort than healing, and it certainly amounts to no effort when compared to tanking anywhere else. You can literally tank in your sleep and still get most things done.

I would like to see you tank Garuda EX, Titan EX, and Ifrit EX in your sleep. And Turn 5 while you're at it.

There's another reason why no one tanks: If I go as my tank into CT, I can't Need on anything other than tank gear. So I go on my BLM, because what I need in CT in BLM gear. The only time I bother going to CT as my tank is when people in my FC need a tank for CT and I can be certain they will let me Greed on things I want.

There's barely any randomness involved. I can tank Garuda EX and Titan EX barely paying attention, as I've done them a ton of times and I know their whole pattern. As for Twintania, I unfortunately do not have as much experience in it yet, but it's all a matter of time.

As much as those fights might appear hard, it's all a matter of getting down their patterns and your answer to each of their move. Once you got that, they become extremely easy, due to the whole fixed pattern thing.
