Lack of tanks in the game

[Citizen_Thom]

To give the community some credit...I had two of three wait for me to figure out Diabolos through two test runs. We added a new party member, and finished it like we'd all done fifty runs of Ampador. The one dps that left just said 'I'm out' before leaving, no insults or otherwise. I honestly felt bad, but as soon as I figured it out, we had an easy run with the new dps that joined us in progress. Not every duty finder party comes with impatient people.

Offtopic: try doing it without doors. On first big move cover healer, on second use tank lb. No benefit as lb is wasted, but still fun.

That's an interesting idea. It's too bad that PLD and MRD don't have a minor version of the limit break to use...then you could make it through all four big booms.


The doors weren't too hard in the end... of course the party was BLM BLM WHM PLD. So one BLM marked, the other opened the first door and I opened the second.

Well I main as both tanks, don't seem to have a problem with doing it. Admittedly, Paladin does get boring at times (1-2-3 combo gets old), and it would be nice to see some complexity to the job like Warrior. As Warrior, it's nice to know that I have about 3 main combos to use and usually 2 rotations to variate with. Sometimes 3 depending on how I feel like attacking.

As far as holding hate, the only time I've ever had that problem was in Titan HM, pre-relic. I guess the Moogle axe wasn't enough to hold hate over an i90 Bard. Yeah, people bitched at me for MT, but the Paladin running with us wasn't MTing, so I don't see how that ended up being my problem. If people want a certain class to MT, then they should announce as such before fights like that. Saves me a lot of time and the party a lot of trouble.

And yes, I dusted their dicks in the dirt after all the fuss. No sense in hanging around a bunch of bitching people if they're not going to do something to correct the "problem."
