You're arguing my use of "optimal" and I simply corrected it. As I've said before optimality in a group is different from individual optimality. If you don't have a nin then the optimal group strat would be the war using unchained, but that's not the optimal rotation for a war. The lack of nin costs the war their ability to perform their optimal rotation.

Let's stop this argument here, I've said my thoughts on the matter. If sam requires higher tank stance uptime then I'll do it if I get a sam in my group. That's the best course of action for the group. But that doesn't change that if sam is the only job to require that, then that's their weakness compared to other jobs, just like how one of mnk's current weaknesses is their lack of aggro management (though it's overshadowed by the fact that mnk doesn't do much more dps than other dps jobs anyway).

Not if the healer does what they can to prevent it, e.g. not casting regen mid pull. But there are cases where a tank's failure to keep aggro is due to someone else's fault. If a nin refuses to shade me at pull for no good reason then he's partially to blame if I lose aggro because I used my opener under the assumption that I'll get shade. If a whm uses medica2 and 2x cure3 for the first bomb aoe in a10s it's not my fault if the boss turns to them. If a blm refuses to use quelling during their opener it's not entirely my fault if I lose aggro 10s into the fight.
