Making Jobs Rotationally Easier in 4.0

[aleph_null]

General's might does a tank buster every few seconds, even if you go into tank stance for the whole period the extra mitigation probably won't buy your healers much time to dps. Even in full defiance you can only IB 1 out of 2-3 tank busters, so I don't think your healers' dps would be able to outweigh the personal dps you gain from stance dancing.

As for your example with 4 blms, that's not a fair comparison. You're comparing a party carrying 1 bad pld vs a party carrying 4 bad blms.

Ok, 4 BLM is a bit too much. But I'm pretty sure most people would say that carrying even BLM is unacceptable.

And, on fights in Gordias or Midas, maybe even one such BLM would be enough DPS loss to hit enrage, while I'm not really sure a PLD only spamming RoH would change much as long as the 4 DPS are good.

Another option, totally unrelated to this topic, would be to make SSS a real requirement to enter the corresponding content. This way, you'd still have some bad tanks, but not so far as too ignore even the most basic rotation.

So in the end, is it worth? Yes, for sure.

Well, of course it is, since that's the actual meta. Does it mean that it's the only concept that should be viable ? Couldn't you have a tank that reduces far than 17% damage by turtling ? And does having such a tank means that suddenly, every tank should follow this new meta ?
