Question about Stuns

[Orophin]

It's called path of least resistance. People would rather use one class that can stun every GCD than trying to set up some kind of stun rotation between 2-3 classes, especially in a DF situation. Paladin is good for Ifrit and Chimera because they can singlehandedly stun every Eruption and stun Voice of the Dragon/rotate silences on Voice of the Ram with a Bard.

It's really only a couple of fights where this really stands out. Every other fight you're expected to perform normal tank duties. These just happen to be a situation where you don't *need* two tanks, but DF requires you to have two anyway (well, Chimera isn't DF fight, but people still prefer a Paladin for interrupts) so someone is more or less going to be relegated to stun duty.

I cringe the few times I've been paired up with two WARs in Ifrit, but at least half of the attempts they work out a stun rotation and it goes well. You HAVE to get off a certain amount of stuns to fill up your LB bar to easily take out the nails in Ifrit, otherwise you hope and pray you take down enough nails to fill up the LB bar near the end and the tank LB will save you.
