How to make tanks more fun to play (devs please read)

[therpgfanatic]

Have you tried just playing MRD/WAR?

Seriously, please, go level a MRD I want to hear how it goes.

So you suggest that before a player decides if they want to be a tank, they should level up not just 1 but 2 tanking jobs?

How does this encourages more players to be a tank?

I think the biggest dissonance here are players who pride themselves on being tanks, having put in all the effort to get top tier gear and don't want things to be easier for others who come after them. I'm coming to this realization after seeing players complain about upcoming nerfs to Coil and other kinds of limits being removed, and remembering similar sentiments from veteran players in other games.

No one can take away what you achieved BotenAnna. It's okay.

It's not the end of the world if somebody else pulls the mob off you for one GCD anyway and that's the maximum amount of time a mob could be pulled off of you doing the Halone Combo that could have been retained spamming Halone (since provoke does not interrupt your combo).

Certain fights the boss can do a hell of a lot of damage if he gets loose.

The rest of your theorycrafting I've already responded to in prior posts. You're not really saying anything different, just saying the same thing with different words. I'm not interested in going around in circles.
