Tank Busters Mitigation

[Cabalabob]

The tank buster in Odin is a magic attack so foresight and bulwark are useless against it. All you have as a PLD is rampart, sentinel, hallowed ground and stoneskin.

Keep in mind that Odin is designed for two tanks, if you're doing it at the appropriate level or synced a tank swap may be in order. Rampart + stoneskin > sentinel > hallowed ground > rampart + stoneskin > tank swap > let them do their CD rotation > swap again.

the Odin trail is something a bit specific compared to other trails as Sangetall comes out A LOT, so as people have mentioned you will run out of CD's to rotate that actually work on it.

i doubt your doing anything wrong as a tank, however you may be better off using CD's when other mechanics are going off at the same and/or close to Sangetall, as in truth its more of a "Timed Healing" mechanic as much as a TB, so the times its happening on its own the healers -should- be focused on it, but others their attention may be split

the cast time is long enough for an Adlo to be placed before hand and a cure etc to be cast near immediately after.

Odin has been solo tankable since the begining in gear bellow the current sync level, you just require healers to be on point more to do so

Wrong, you can block or parry Sangetall.

Went in to see, you're right it's been a while since I've done it and I was thinking of the AoE he does before the tank buster.

It depends on the fight that you are doing like if you do Sephirot EX you can easily survive his phase 1 tank buster just using Rampart, Foresight, and Sentinel alone. Though I do pop Awareness with Rampart just to insure that I don't get screwed over if the game decides to give him a crit.

Tankbusters can't crit. Followup autoattacks can, though. You're better off pairing Awareness with Bulwark since you can't block crits. Also, abuse the ever-living hell out of Sheltron in Sephirot EX since almost everything in there is physical damage.

Er no, you can block/parry it. It's physical.

Yep, nothing wrong with a tank swap if you're running out of cd's. Just remember to abuse Rampart's short cooldown!
