    Trying to "tank" with one sucks as well. The mighty guard doesn't give any more HP (it should), so a BLU tank will have considerably fewer HP than a "normal" tank.

    You can mitigate this a bit by having devour constantly up, but tanks generally have more than 20% of a caster's HP. Needs to be 50-100%

    Not to mention their "spells" are casted, which is bad for tanks. They need to react quickly and having a 1.5s spell doesn't help that. Chelodian Gate requiring you to not move is also a pain.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    You mitigate further with bad breath (infinite reprisal). BLU Tanking is a lot more dependent on others to do their jobs, but it isn't all that bad, if you know what you're doing.
