This is a pretty huge assumption considering just how many tools we have to mitigate things right now

Feint/Addle
Apocatastasis/Palisade
Sacred Soil
Astro Shield
Adlo
Divine Benison
Intervention
Passage of Arms
The Blackest Knight
Reprisal
Eye for an Eye
The Bole

And this is just stuff that other people can do to the MT or the boss. If they really need to stack up mitigation they can go WAR(mt)/PLD(ot) and abuse intervention, warrior CDs, and Cover+paladin CDs. If there's a super dangerous and hard to compensate for cleave you can just slot in VIT pieces as needed.

They basically have to role lock pre-Stormblood gear. There's no other solution if they don't want to change SB accessories to have strength or change how tank damage works.
