Shirk is amazing. (Ethics)

[FPZ]

So forfeit one of the best raid dps-increasing abilities tanks have been given for a 2 minute long cd that lasts for 25 seconds? Something that only MIGHT be beneficial? Or a minute long cd which, again, MIGHT be beneficial? I really don't think you've done any high-end tanking if you think this is a good idea. Take the guaranteed benefit over a potential one, every single time. And in case you're wondering, yes: dps is king. Kill the encounter faster, healers have to heal less. Crazy how that works.

He's trolling or genuinely believes the nonsense he is spewing, the guy isn't even level 70 so he's just got nothing to do but troll, best to put it on ignore, you won't get any sense out of replying to it. He's jealous and bitter, can't adapt to the meta of tank damage and has never tanked anything high level in his life without echo or nerfs, hence the spite against those who want to push themselves. Guy literally doesn't exist in any raid logs and is still level 60, so this only confirms it.

The FFXIV forums get a bad rep a lot of the time, this guy is a prime example of terrible advice & a terrible attitude, a great example of what NOT to be when trying to progress your skill in a game, posting more on the forums then actually getting good in game. o/

The ff forums gets a bad rep because its filled with people who are wasting a skill slot on something that we were doing with one skill for three years and we have scrubs claiming to be good saying its mandatory because its impossible to swap or do good dps with out after the years of doing tank swaps and doing good dps with out said skill. I'm out of this thread you guys are idiots.

Understood. I'm not necessarily replying to him to try to change his mind, I'm more talking to anyone who's lurking who's wondering if shirk is worth taking in 8 man content or not.

If you're lurking: take shirk in 8 man content.
