Okay, I get that this is the internet. But sarcasm isn't that hard to detect, is it?

It actually can be, but good on you.

This isn't a temporary ability like the defensive abilities that dps get. Seigan is a recast of 1 minute with a duration of 5. It's a full-time defensive stance, which cannot be used at the same time as their offensive stance. And no, your defensive abilities are not down for 40 seconds, wrong again. It's a 30 second recast.

I never said Seigan was temporary, I said the other jobs have temporary survival abilities, and that Seigan by itself isn't much of a "tank" argument. Once again, failure to read. EDIT: Actually no, I'm wrong on Third Eye on that, yeah. Deleted the previous sentence. Seigan bonus. So let me ask this then... why was SAM never used as an actual tank? Real question, since apparently it has so many great qualities. I mean, even with TE at 30sec, there's still the very real threat that you lose it right off the bat... what do you do then? Pop subjob cooldowns? Then you lose TE again and those defensive cooldowns are gone.
