The only epidemic is the playerbase defending the MNK in Sohm HM with an Antiquated i170 and the WHM with crafting gear in Haukke NM healing through Cleric Stance.

You nip the no-Heavy-Thrusting-Cleric-Stance-Healing-no-Provoke-cross-skill-equipping-tanking behavior in the bud early on. Im talking before they get to Ifirit NM. You didn't, now we're complaining about it in post Praetorium dungeons. Blame the White Knights.

I got better at tanking because I got yelled at for not flashing enough, watching aggro and rotating mobs in Cutters Cry. "S**tty tank..." "Wtf Tank!" Etc. It was a wake up call. I did fine up to that point I thought. It was embarressing and i wanted to get better. Needed to. If I had been told I was "doing Ok" i would not have the desire to "git gud" because I didnt get yelled at.

"I thought I sucked. But the party said I did good"
