The Ifrit Fight is Dangerous to the Community.

[RemVye]

And we've never lost because of tanking. Also, if you re-read what I originally posted, I do have Cure II and Sac II. Most damage mitigation abilities come from Gladiator anyways.

I never said it isn't going to put a strain on the mages. However, strain on the mages does not make an ability REQUIRED. What is required is not getting yourself blown up.

I believe you were telling the OP that he could do whatever he wanted and not get the skills people were telling him are "required". You said:

It's all about knowing what your class is capable of without added abilities from other classes.

And you mentioned having CON to level 20, so I guess I was supposed to assume you were using CureII... anyway.

The point is you do have cross-class abilities at your disposal, and the OP doesn't want to get any. Zero. Zilch. None.

Also, Defender, Foresight, Featherfoot, at the very least are "essential".


If "you" the tank are getting blow up. You're doing something wrong. If your mages are getting blow up, it might be because you are needing extra healing and they have to choose between keeping you alive or moving. If your DD are getting blown up, they are not paying attention.
