How to get people to tank!

They actually have more rotations and combos if you know the job properly and understand what can cancels what out from other jobs.

I could go on a very detail process but will keep it simple.

Lets take DRK as an example I love it for speed runs and simple fast and don't really need to stick to 1,2,3 combo, here is what I use besides the obvious buffs active, Grit / Darkside , which by the way if you can't keep up dark side up 100% of the time you may be missing some rotations, I do the following;

Sprint>gather unmend>>>Unleash>>>foresight>>>abissial Drain>>>Blood price>>>Abyssal drain, dark arts>>>dark messenger>>>shadow skin>>> (rotate syphon / soul eater) shadow wall, by then blood prince usually add depending on your skill speed, rotate soul survivor, abyssal drain spam, you can keep dark side constantly up. and can keep rotating to what you prefer carve and split on CD ect. This is a basic and simple. as an example. There are various combinations for war and pld. DRk is a tricky one but once you master it others are all about timing and CD. But hey I only DRK/PLD/ and WAR on occasion. I'm sure there are more creative ones people just need to stop wining, be well geared, and check what other jobs can do. IF your able to understand what cancels what, and what boost what tanking is fun and is all about timing and strategy. This again is a simple example I use various ones depending on types of mobs and what I'm doing. I can go through each tank Job but don't have enough time and at work.

Speed runs.

Yeah Drk is the best for speed runs what I love to do (especially if I have a brd with foes) is gather everything > Unleash > Blood Price > Shadowskin > Drop Grit> spam DA+Abyssal Drain. If you have a Brd in your group Salted Earth and Abyssal Drains dmg goes up and i've had Asts put Balances on me and i've crit healed myself for 2.3k which is absurd. I had an Ast do that in Sohm Al and he was just laughing so hard that I can heal myself for 2k a mob, he was very happy that he could just spam Gravity and throw Balances on me 24/7, even though we had a Brd/Nin combo that'd benefit from it more, but ah well. Drks trickyness pays off once you get the hang of it and it's super fun that's for sure.
