What to manage as a tank?

[BabyYoda]

We're going in circle there.
If it is encouraged to remove healer but PF is so difficult to fill with healers, why don't those PF open to tanks instead?
That situation alone is a contradiction to your statement that the game encourages removal of healers.

You're just taking a gimmick clear out of proportions.
And no, I did not said Tanks can't be replaced. I just said there was more responsibilities. You can remove a tank by stacking mitigation on DPS or letting the tank die then ressing them.
But that's so much hassle no one does this. Like with healers.




Yes??? Weren't you the one arguing about my experience about tanks in other games?
Are you aware of the most iconic abilities of Paladins in DND, Warcraft or Baldur's gate?

If I say "Lay on hands" the first thing that should spring to your mind is a Paladin.

So tanks do healer job and that's OK

DND and BG is different game with different mechanics
If we apply their logic info FFXIV the game will be a complete mess.

Tanks having healing spell every 180 s isn't a bad thing but at 25 sec ??????
And their heals is much more optimal than how healers do

You cannot acknowledge the fact that even other games tanks are responsible for aggro management and increase boss rage/ knocking boss down which is the fantasy of tanks in other games

If other games tanks are responsible for CC will you give it to tanks in ffxiv?
Current design do not allow that
