Honestly, all this, "X class sucks without Y Job" talk strikes me of loldrg of yester-year. They work, people have proven it as such. So what if it's harder, if it's what that person wants why should we belittle that effort? I, as Warrior, have lost hate to Dragoons several times. Speaks ill of my tanking ability, yes, but if a Warrior cycling their Butcher's Block combo and Overpower can lose hate to a Dragoon, a lancer tank doesn't sound all that far-fetched at all. If a lancer tank can't generate as much enmity as a healer, then the healer should temper how much healing they are putting out. They gave us this convenient enmity meter in the form of a 'red light, green light' system, easy to see if you're about to pull aggro or not.

I applaud those that want to try different ideas, test what works and what doesn't and go with their guts. If only we could all be so open-minded.
