THM vs Tank FIGHT!!

[Renshi]

Aegis Boon + War Drum is a big deal... Not only does it mitigate one full attack... but it generates tons of enmity....
Also... Have you been on Glad? 15-20 on a weaponskill?
Fast Blade>Savage Blade>Goring Blade and you'll see Goring blade do over 100 damage...
Fast Blade>Flat Blade while Goring blade is on cooldown and you'll do 70+ damage with Flat blade....
Also Fast Blade>Flat Blade has a much lower cool down than any of the MRD combos, so you can do it more often... and I mean pretty much constantly










Ask yourself this... If MRD weaponskills are doing 5x's the damage of Glad weaponskills... why, in your example, is the MRD only doing 15% more in your example?
That math doesn't add up...
I do like MRD... It makes for a faster fight with more DPS.. but GLAD holds hate better

Yes MRD is doing a more damage..
But here is MATH
War drum generates 363 enmity... (540 under sentinel)
And has a 1 minute cooldown
So you have to do "at least" 363 MORE DAMAGE than a glad PER MINUTE to even be in the ballpark, in terms of enmity
I don't know that you can refute math...

Im not being a douche... I play both classes... and when I wanna be a hard hitting tank I go MRD.. but numbers dont lie

I don't even have to mention rampart

Cool stats! Where did ya take from? Could be useful in some Moogle fights

which links to translation of a Japanese player that did all the tests.. and also confirmed by Kaeoko's test and confirmed by some testing I've done myself
They have compiled a decent enmity chart
