Another Tank Rework Thread

[Cessna]

Actaully this a big problem on endgame.

Many statics loath the idea of having 2 tanks in their proper gear since they view it as a dps loss. Square if they are going to put in 2 tanks fights needs to enforce that and not let the statics get around this. When I tank in dps gear I should need every inch of gear or wipe the raid. Better yet I should be one shot for this foolishness. Endgame is not like that and dps war or getting rid of the off tank entirely is retardly easy. Turn 8 is the most glaring example and to a lesser extent turn 9.

I think part of the problem is that square developers underestimate the player community and what they are capable of when it comes to tanking. For example it was revealed that square expected players to require full weathered soldiery to beat turn 8. Instead what players did was they got rid of one tank and made the main tank pop all of his cooldowns and the addition of the extra dps pushed them beyond what square thought was possible. We need to close this gap between the developer and player experience levels or tanks will countinue getting shunned.
