    That's still a lot more than in any other MMORPG, and simply too much. And when it happens, it simply makes the fight not fun to tank. "not hard at all to get back?" I don't think so.

    There's a reason why every other developer uses it much less, and when it's used it's also much easier to counter. And that's because, as it is implemented in FFXIV, and with this kind of frequency, it's more a chore than any fun.

    I'm aware that there are a few vocal elitists that think tanking should be an absolutely unfun chore reserved only to demigods with all double/triple melds and the very top gear that can be found by grinding the game for two years. But I'm quite sure this kind of attitude isn't gonna carry A Realm Reborn very far.
