Can people stop assuming the worst when it comes to their description of main tank and off tank? So many people are assuming the worst but we know next to little about the toolkit of an off tank, so why jump to conclusions? Other games might define main and off tank in one way, however, FFXIV is likely to be defining it differently, it wouldn't be the first time terms have been switched around to mean something different.

What we do know is that in any content under Savage, it won't matter what tanks you bring, which heavily implies that the differences are small that in most content, it won't even matter and I guarantee it only matters more for Savage as they will plan mechanics around having both a main tank and an off tank.

And no, we don't know if Paladin's counter can only be used if they are the main tank, there might be creative ways around it, like Intervention, which follows the same buff pattern Holy Sheltron does. We also know that, if you cover someone, you can block the incoming damage, so that could be another way to get it to proc.

There are too many unknown for people to get so up in arms about, with the big one being knowing next to nothing about the off tank kit. Let's not base things on initial reactions, stop, think and make logical conclusions.
