I dunno about mobs that can hit harder like Ifrit yet, but I'll let you know more once I actually get a chance to tank something worthwhile.
Hey, thats good to know alone! I know I'll try a ifrit or something tommarow, or maybe when servers are back up I'll stay up for it or something, and do it. See what results I get.

I found out the block matera are up to +10, at max, so that's.. Interesting. I am curious if sent gloves may be viable now over AF(The holy succor buff I enjoy, sue me >_<)
