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

1. Cover needs to be a toggle like Sword and Shield Oath. It needs to apply to the entire party and work more like it did in previous Final Fantasy games, or at least like its FF6 incarnation. It should trigger its damage absorption effect when any party member is at 25% of their max HP, and let the tank absorb that damage while also generating threat for the tank on the attacking mob. This change will reduce 50% of the stress caused by the limitations of Provoke (it often makes me the top aggro but then I quickly lose it ‘cause I have to wait on global cooldown triggered by Shield Lob / Rage of Halone) and the crappy targeting system on the PS3.

the heck did I just read ?

Is so obvious, provoke give small amount of time for PLD to recover hate, by time you have no retard dps, it work good, but since DPS only care about they number, most of the time they careless about aggro snap giving no chance to PLD, even with provoke.

The first argument would be: You shouldn't have lose hate in first place. and that point easy how useless provoke is in that situation. At best, it give a warning to DPS to slow down, and PLD can recover.

Provoke in this game only gr8 to transfer hate with OT tank, or to pull the bugged Spiny plume.
