    As most of you say, it's responsibility, i'm the kind of guy who will take the lead on a dungeon, or make an strategy, most ppl don't like this, i really enjoy it, i like this pressure, but when it comes to primals or bosses it's very different, ifrit was the first obstacle, PLDs had to stun him (this doesn't work anymore) well it was easy. after that came garuda, a battle where the tank have all the responsibility, a wrong step and the whole pty is dead, i considered this battle a pain, now i can do it with np.
    with 2.1 came ultima HM, EX primals, pharos, there you have ultima, the tanks have to switch tank, an overused mechanic in new content, we had to make the balls explode and use LB, it was a pain, but easy. then there is siren, we tanks have to take some adds because the DPSs cant kill them asap, we have to stun siren, even when there are dragoons or bards in the party, we're the ones stunning, this battle was also a pain, but well we are tanks we are supposed to have take more pressure than the rest of the party. then i tried Garuda ex, to garuda, titan and ifrit EX i just can say **** IT!

    I mean seriously? all the pressure we tanks have to take in these battles is so overwhelming, every mechanic SE adds to new content is designed to stress the tanks, these battles are drastically reducing the number of tanks in the game, even if we get another tank class, most will give up in garuda HM, the ones who can pass her will the hit garuda EX who is 100 times worse, in the end of the (made up numbers) 1000 players trying the new tank only 5 will keep playing it to the very end. and SE is still wondering why is there a tank shortage.

    In my case i only use my PLD with friends, because they will forgive my mistakes, and even if the pressure is the same, i have their support, i'm a tank but i will rarely use DF.
    In terms of wait times, i'm another lost tank.

    I want another tank class, just for the fun of playing it, but this won't fix anything.
