And both of these reasons are bad.

1) considering the fact that server lag is still an issue , even if I see my chr standing next to the party (behind coin counter) long before 100 tonze , ocasionally it will still hit me, wich means coin counter will NOT fall on his ass , instead will begin to turn twards me and the rest of the party in wich case he can proc any of his aoes and wipe the rest of the party. Until latiency is fixed this will happen , soo IF you can get away with posting up with little dificulty , Personaly, I sugest doing so.
Yeah, you personally suggest people do a lot of things. You're one of those posters who confuses people new to this game. You set the bar on standards pretty low for a job like PLD when you say things like this. I mean really, who would run towards the party when running from CC anyway. Probably a bad tank.

2) there is no stratigic advantage in running from 100 tonze other then it helps tanks who are not built well, to survive. Sense I do not have this issue, I simply stand there and tank ol school style and it seems to work just fine. IN FACT, when compaired to lesser equiped tanks who DO run from 100 tonze (usualy WAR tanks) I tank far less damage in the entire fight by posting up and focusing on timing buffs well vs spam moves, and be ready to run / hope you dont get in animation lock durring 100 tonze .
It's great that in your previous paragraph you were able to recognize that CC falls on his ass when you avoid 100 tonze. That must not happen often when you're intentionally taking it to the face 3 or more times in a row though. Surely incapacitating a mob to the point where it cannot do any kind of damage to you (and healers not incurring hate from healing you) has NO STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE in a battle. What a moronic opinion to have. I hope others see your posts and ignore them from now on as your perspective on tanking is shoved inside this little box with only a small window to look out of.

As far as why do I keep posting here, simple answer, because ignorant people like yourself continue to post ignorant "facts" wich are self imposed and not backed by any real comparison or indepth testing. Please make note, I called you ignorant , not stupid. If you were incapable of learning you would be stupid, your just unwilling wich makes you ignorant. No amount of BS propaganda will deminish the fact that DEF and VIT is and always has been far more usefull in terms of tanking, then its HP counter part.
The bold stuff: Wow, the irony! You must get up very early in the morning in order to shove the most amount of ignorance into every single post.
The underline stuff: Too bad I didn't even bring that part up whatsoever and you're just tunnel-visioning your arguments as usual. It's also really telling that you think VIT and DEF are more important than HP, and yet you also neglect to mention that beyond all of those things, straight enmity bonus is more important than all three. Of course, you probably don't know need a lot of enmity judging how you appear to play this game and you reduce the party to low efficiency as a result.

I don't even know why I am bothering to reply to you. Reading and responding to your posts is a gigantic waste of time.
