What to manage as a tank?

[Laerune]

Tanks role is to keep agro, rotate their mitigation spells and do as much dps as they can.

Not a tank main, but when I heal tanks this is what I expect from my tanks.

Most tanks are not doing mitigations other than getting hit or tank buster.. and they can get away with it with no problem

Tank stance is auto aggro generation there is not such a thing called aggro management

DPS not managing their rotation can get away with it.
Healers poorly managing their healing tools can get away with it.

Basic game can be cleared by pressing 1.

Your point is...?

Nope.. there is something called enrage in savage

If healer die all party die they have a clear thing to manage

But tanks I don't see any thing to manage

I don't think we've played the same savage.

Aside from enrage, there are also these things called:

Tankbusters
Tankswaps
Very damaging raidwide AoEs

Trust me, all party die too, if you don't have a tank or have a tank that don't mitigate these correctly

What is the point you're trying to make?

If you don't see anything to manage with tanks despite doing savage, maybe it's time to accept that tank as a role in ffxiv doesn't fit your need and go play other roles.

Go ahead, play savage without managing your mitigation or DPS and we'll see the result.
DPS from everyone is very important in savage/ultimate, if you experimented it, you would be aware of it.
Tank DPS is roughly 70~80% of a melee DPS, it's extremely valuable. If you can clear with a tank that doesn't DPS it means your group is already overgeared.

You should also be aware that in savage, damage taken from busters and raid wide are above player HP, there's many of them you absolutely can't survive without tank mitigation.

Be sure that if tank had "nothing to manage" you would see 1 tank and 5 DPS or 6 DPS in savage content.

changing the subject will not change the fact

tank job is the easiest because there is actually nothing to manage

People already answered your question about what tanks have to manage. If you only play tanks in normal mode, don't be surprised there's nothing to manage.
But go ahead, tell us how it's easy and how strong you are when casting 0 reprisal and 3 TBNs.

I too, can say driving is easy if I only drive at 10 Km/h.

Put your money where your mouth is and show us how "easy" it is.
