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

[juniglee]

It was obvious you were talking about holding aggro, and i simply stated how easy that part was, and yet the next part you telling me is even more easy for people with half a brain.

Simple as DPS or healer shouldn't be in between a PLD and Monster. I don't even know why we even talking about that as it is so simple mechanic.

Because holding aggro is the be all end all of playing tank, amirite? Nothing else I should be concerned about, like stunning AoEs, TP management, and the like. They're all such simple mechanics! I press 123, and everything magically happens!

Maybe you should watch the videos you link to?

Every character in that video has i90+ gear and +1 relics.

You claimed a scenario where only 2 folks even had a relic, and everyone else was not.

This video is a bunch of totally overgeared people, and even they wiped a few times. That's why the video starts with almost 2 limit bars filled.

Claiming tank DPS is fine so long as you are overgeared for the encounter is absolutely moronic and missing the entire point of this thread.

How about Titan Extreme then? Would Titan Extreme have any imaginary "gear cap" you've decided to set?

1 PLD, 1 WAR, 3 MRD, 1 BLM, 1 WHM, 1 SCH

Regarding his Titan HM thing. Yes you can do it with all that. If I had to bring a Warrior into Titan HM pre-2.1, they'd wear DPS gear and just act as a second DPS. Just like in the video I linked, they had a BLM just for LB during Gaolers, Giantsbane's group had a melee DPS to LB the heart.
