XIV WAR Tanking - Baseline Mitigation and PLD comparison

[Mang]

Personally, I find that incredibly offensive, mainly because it operates under the supposition that women are slaves to their emotions whereas men are purely logical and in control. Even if you want to discuss gender differences from a psychological standpoint, women are only slightly more prone to instinctive and emotion reaction than men are, but factors like race, age, and occupation/education/field of expertise play a *much* larger role than gender does.

I'm an emotionally driven heterosexual man and I approve this message.

Hard to have an intelligent argument with you. You bring no proof no logical explanations, no facts, no calculations - starting to think you are a female player playing based on emotions and not logic (Not trying to offend - just my observations).

If you have to preface what you said not trying to offend you are already trying to excuse crappy behavior. Attack the persons arguments not the person. This is no better then when they come in here loudly shouting bad math.

If you're trying to disclaim an offensive comment, usually it's better not to say it in the first place.

Guys I don't know how to say it any way other then just stop responding to Hiir and Lhun. They don't understand math, have not killed anything of note and are the PRIME example of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning...3Kruger_effect .

The fact that they keep arguing stating Str over Vit and that crit is important should give you all the info you need about them.

I'm more than happy to discuss, but in one sense you're right. I would have to reach an actual situation in game where I could not surmount it no matter what I tried. Maybe that's Turn 4... or Turn 5... I'm hungry for it.

I love a challenge. Maybe that's why all the crying and whining irritates me that much... maybe that's why I don't like PLD, heh.

My secondary is SMN, another underdog job... so maybe I just enjoy cheering for a "losing team"?

But in the end, yeah, I'm decided that WAR is my main job. I need to be challenged in this game. I love tanking Caduceus and stretching my wings so to speak. Garuda is boring. Titan is face roll.

Are they right? Are WARs suboptimal tanks in practice and not just on paper? I've yet to seee. Turn 3 here I come. ^_^

Since when was SMN an underdog job....SMN is ridiculously good and I haven't seen anyone who actually knows how to play well say otherwise.

Turn 3 here I come. ^_^

I await your response where you try to argue for WARs superiority because you did fine in Turn 3 coil, even though Turn 3 is literally nothing but trash mobs and doesn't even have a boss.

Just keep raising that bar and I'll keep going over it. ^_^

Bahamut and WAR
Maybe the biggest problem we have in Bahamut is that we still face to problems as if we have to face to super high monster DPS. .

Right what WAR tanks have to do is try to overcome this issue. There's two ways to do this, 1 way which has already met success is raising HP as high as possible. People say for Turn IV you need at least 7500. But mitigation still needs to be done. My next goal is to reach that high number and simultaneously raise my mitigation and damage output. I'm not sure how high I'll be able to do on damage of course, but it's obvious already that it's needed.

Unless you are somehow hotloading coding into the game I doubt you can do either of those things.

Technically there was no time limit mentioned, so "waiting for the 2.1 patch in order to get Crystal Tower gear" might count...

And there's always a little room for a little more practice.
