So this started happening.

[Zordrage]

It´s not harder. Ppl just don´t sit on max gear already.

And i don´t know which content should be more difficult to tank? Maybe you´ve some examples?
You do the same 2 big pulls as always, the most dungeons are even so hard scripted, that you can´t have more than 3 adds at once. Bosses are the same stuff over and over again. A bit of aoe dance and maybe 1 cheap mechanic with endlass castbars. You don´t even need to heal there as tank since 123 passive reg is more than enough.
Trials can be completely solo-tanked, even EX content. (Maybe not the first in some easy way, but that´s a debuff reason.)

DRK had already the strongest def in the game. PLD and GNB lacked definately behind and WAR has become powerful mid-patch with the nascent flash changes. WAR didn´t need any buffs, but the other 2 got actually up´d on the level of BLN.


Anyway... If you struggle with big pulls, pull less or ask those for advice who don´t struggle? If you struggle on bosses, well... don´t know how it´s actually possible as tank unless you eat 5 aoe´s at once on purpose. (I survived 3 with 2k HP and no def.)

Tanks are broken and bad plays are still no excuse. The toolkits and stats overshine everything in this game and on top healer sit on a bunch of oGCD´s, shields, barriers and instaheals to make sure they can continue with glare / broil spam. Maybe someone might posts some videos how he / she is tanking and show us the gear?!

You mean all the super-glamhunter and payforultimate-players chilling in limsa? Then i know where it comes from....

Sounds already like "i use all defs at once" just to drop hard 20s later.... how about a def rotation?
Pull, sprint, 2nd pull, BLN and reprisal, Abyssal after you dropped below 50% HP, BLN again and if you´ve a bunch of little adds or reprisal is on cd, go for arm´s length. If you´ve a low DPS party, use 1 big def in the first and 1 big def in the 2nd pull before the boss. Or just use them standardly. (Rampart, Shadow Wall)

((On top you could still start to kite, which is a bunch of less damage income on any tank. Done correctly nobody is even losing damage.))

I Wanted to avoid this but your Delusional at this point.
Get off your High horse going in every topic giving "Advices"and telling everyone how the DRK player or the Healers that are bad.

Also you need to stop Talking about BLN like thats the end all be all that ability was outright a meme since the very begining it was the only ability that made DRKs not Trash Tier remove that 1 ability and DRK outright does not exist as a Tank.

All the other tanks Allways had way more going for them they just never were properly tuned, and now ? now all the tanks waaaay surpased BLN and the entire DRK tanking Kit as a whole.
