Beginner's Overview to Tanking in FFXIV

Failed to expand on the AoE enmity skills. Definitely among the most common mistakes is only using them once and/or failing to use them in range.

That's a very good point! I'll compose a section about that and add it to the "How to Control Your Enemies" post. Thanks!

Over the duration of the CDs it is mostly superior to chain CDs instead of stacking.

This whole post is a really good explanation and one that I should include in the part about stacking cooldowns.

The ones that are flat percentages (Shadow Wall, Rampart, etc.) aren't as good to stack with one another, but for ones that affect the combat table, they can actually complement one another very nicely (Awareness + Bulwark, for example).

Also from the explanation on determination, you make it sound like it only affects self-healing/healing BY the tank and not healing ON the tank. Am I getting this right? So determination doesn't affect healing on tank like convalescence do?

Thanks for the guide btw, it's helpful all-around

That is correct, at least with how the tooltip is phrased (the italic part after each stat is actually the tooltip from the game). Determination basically makes your own abilities stronger, while Tenacity makes heals on you restore more HP.
