    A1 I sheild oath until the split after that I'm out ..... which is why my dps scraps around 581ish im sure if I sword oath right after gaining agro itll be upwards of 700 but I choose not to

    A2 Jag Dolls hit hard , even in shield oath , I hate all these unrealistic tanks , if I can mitigate damage for healers Im going to do it and agro hold is important here so yes Shield oath is a must and if youre the true main tank here you're holding multiple enemies at time.

    A3 After gaining agro , I switch to sword oath , occasionally switching in out through out the add phase

    A4 Gain agro on the leg , and sword oath , P4 shield oath

    Healer being the easiest job to play in FFXIV, I really don't get why random tanks are still babysitting their healers.

    Stop it already.

    I strongly disagree with the notion of healer being the easiest job to play. Maybe try playing it and see. Not only does a healer have to deal with almost every mechanic in every fight, they have to do it while keeping everyone alive, And they're also the ones responsible for recovering from mistakes, like someone dying. If a dps misses a rotation it's rarely the end of the world other than maybe the absolute top end progression content. For a healer damage doesn't stop incoming on the party just because they need to dodge. This is especially laughable coming from a tank. I play both, bosses are set up so tanks rarely have to deal with more mechanics than aoe. Again this is somewhat different in the absolute top end but otherwise if you can manage to hit your hate rotation and pop cooldowns you're doing ok as a tank.
