Can we please get aggro management back?

Threat was already nearly entirely vestigial come Stormblood. You pulled with tank stance and did maybe one or two threat comboes and then you went full dps mode.

Tanks stances were just something SE had an idea for, and it literally never worked out like they wanted it to.

The only time threat mattered is on openers where people forgot to use diversion(Which really isn't that interesting of a gameplay addition), or on aggro resets(In which Exdeath murders the white mage) where you throw a shield lob or equivalent and proceed as normal.

People never used diversion ever, a few agro combos was not enough to keep agro.

BLM had to use Diversion on cooldown.

Inb4 "no they didn't" thus revealing they didnt play it well.

I remember RDM opener had to use Diversion too, otherwise you'd get a few slaps in the face. Arguably SMN too. Bard opener was stupid to handle with Refresh and Tactician.
I "enjoyed" avec to keep these things in mind as a DPS or even a healer with Lucid Dreaming. Not because it was fun, but it was something to micro-manage. Now there's nothing more to rotation DPS, which would do with extra things like agro micro-management (or MP refresh, that kind of stuff).

Diversion on cooldown, and still watch the bars so you could lucid dump when you got too close to the tanks aggro level(and it was almost always when, not if - it was inevitable as long as you didnt die). Luckily lucid doesnt have any other uses for BLM.
