That DPS is pulling it off you no problem. Even if you use your Infuriate, you're still going to get rammed again when those crit chains start exploding while you're blocking again.

TERA tanking is actually way more complicated than in this - if someone can tank in TERA, they can tank in FF14. OP/Flash = Challenging Shout. The only difference is you don't just have to press it once and then again every time it's off cooldown. Tanking is honestly the easiest of all 3 roles, if you have to change tanking to make it even easier then you'll have to just remove AOEs completely and make every job have a 123 rotation. Because that's fun, right?
Yes, I have a 60 lancer in TERA, but I stopped playing June 2013 due to my hands having pain issues. I finally got a static to start working end game, but I only got as far as silver (rank 2?) in Sirjuka’s Gallery. It took forever to get a static formed, and then I had to quit not long after it was formed. I felt so bad. As for threat, ya I am sure I was over stating shout. I know I had to build my threat combos or dps pulled off of me. I maintanked the nexus dungeon too, and when the damn dragon would flop around, I would lose aggro on it too because I couldn't get to it. Blocking was all about knowing the BAMs/Boss moves and only using block as necessary. I am sure I could have tanked Argon Corpus and MC (?) when the time came.
