Beginner's Overview to Tanking in FFXIV

[Jpec07]

keep this thread as is for reference to 4.0 tanking.

make a new one (while linking from here as well) for 5.0.
(put at the top its for SB/4.0 only, and rename the new one "for 5.0" or something)

Not sure if this is the first FFXIV expansion you've been through, but the changes they're making go from top to bottom. Square Enix doesn't keep separate versions of the game intact for different expansions' content, but they do put a lot of time into making sure that balance is maintained in old content with each new change they make.

In other words, keeping this as a reference for 4.0 will only serve folks who are interested in looking at how the game has changed over time and how it used to be (not to mention, you can't change the thread title on the forum view without the help of a moderator).
