I'm just curious. Did you actually try a dex based tank prior to 3.0? After getting responses, I did some more research (trying to see if dex did anything new now) and found a few interesting things from past players who did dex based tank. Most said it was a small niche that was extremely useful (according to them, they were blocking near 65% of attacks, which is huge). So I can't help thinking this was simply an underrated version that most never bothered to try (as it kinda goes opposite direction of most tank builds... but then again FFXIV is pushing STR based tanks that contribute dps... which is already off the norm). And sorry if I'm coming off as rude, I'm honestly not trying to.
