Curtana :(

Your argument is incredibly flawed and lacks to even acknowledge what the Paladin Lodestone description is.

"The paladin job sacrifices maximum HP, but this is compensated by way of greatly enhanced defense as well as the ability to cast healing magic. Valiant by nature, a paladin can shield his comrades from blows, making him the unyielding rock upon which a party’s defense is built."
Being the FIERCEST FIGHTER on the field sounds quite a bit like damage dealing. Being an Unyielding rock upon which a party's defense is built sounds quite a bit like tanking.


My entire rant is about all of the tank Itemization on Warrior, when it belongs on the -tank- class.
I didn't miss the part where Three out of Five the abilities unlocked on warrior are Tank Abilities, and it makes total sense for an OFFTANK to gain access to these, considering SE's "Vision" laid out in this thread http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...764#post449764 It's intended for the warrior to be able to "Throw the attacks back at the boss"(To deal damage) or take a few hits. Paladin is clearly the one envisioned to be the tank. Do I need to link anything else to prove this?
.

Get off your high horse and look at the real world application of the two jobs. If something can tank each and every piece of end game content, it is a main tank. Plain and simple. I don't care if warrior had the description of "I take hits like a pussy but deal the best damage." IF it can tank effectively, its a main tank. So stop calling warrior an off tank.

Also, consider the fact that there is only one fight (Princess) where you need an off tank and I wouldn't be surprised if pug or lnc could tank the add.

To throw in my two cents about enmity on Curtana, who needs it? If you have a relic, you will probably have best-in-slot gear every where else and know how to play your job. Sure, it would be nice to have it all on a relic but it would just be overkill. If everyone in your group is playing correctly, no one should have to hold back for fear of enmity.
