    Also you can only use Shield Swipe after an succesfull Block -> makes it unreliable.
    Shield swipe interrupts Ifrit's radiant plumes just fine (not sure about eruption, but potentially that, too), and it won't cause any stun resistance build-up.

    I'm guessing just slow dps/feed slimes until they split so the tank builds up a lot of enmity, then have him run around in a big circle. At 8 stacks, hoodwink does about 6000 damage to a tank, which is possible to overgear.

    Turn 1 doesn't require 2 tanks. Overgeared tank can let them remerge right away and kite for duration of fight. DPS has to watch threat and tank needs to be good at mobile threat-gen without getting in melee range, but its doable. Our off-tank was restarting router right before Cad, and we decided to try anyways. Ended up beating it right about same time he came back, laughing while he was outside the room.

    Turn 1 ADS may require 2 tanks, but I think an over-geared dps can tank the adds. Never tried, but I think its possible. Also, turn 2 only needs 1 tank if you use the enrage method.

    Honestly, the overgeared DPS would be better off tanking ADS lol

    But yeah, all of Coil CAN be done with 1 tank. Turn 2 being the only exception if you don't want to cheese it with the enrage... though I think it's still possible with SSing the stacks. Never tried it, though.

    Garuda EX can be done with 1 tank, but I don't think Titan EX or Ifrit EX can be done without 2 tanks. Same for Ultima HM I imagine (but I haven't touched Ultima yet).

    Cheese it with the enrage? I'm not familiar.

    Coil requires 2 tanks for the majority of the content. HM Primals can be solo tanked but Ex Primals require 2 tanks.

    If you're over geared you can solo heal a lot as well so it's not just limited to tanks.

    All the 2.0 HM primals can be solo tanked. PLD for Ifrit, either tank type can do Garuda. Titan never needed two tanks.

    Garuda Ex can be solo tanked (there is a video) but you have to out gear it so bad it isn't even funny. Titan and Ifrit Ex, Ultima and Mog need two tanks. Coil has plenty of two tank scenarios.

    You could solo tank Ifrit as a WAR.
    If you had a dragoon they could help with stuns given they have like 3 of them.

    T1 and T2 can be done with 1 tank.

    I believe the only things requiring 2 tanks atm are T4, Extreme modes and Ultima. Not sure about King Mog.
    So that leaves you with a grand total of: 5 things(Not including CT since you're forced to take 2 tanks in there)

    Technically Kitru is right, it doesn't "interrupt" it just "cancels".
    The cast is performed but it can't finish so you get no LB from it being successful stopped.
