What makes a great tank?

[Kossuranta]

- Micro managing hate, Not losing hate and just switch targets to make sure the DPS can go full out without holding back.

This is also a job for DPS atleast when they have better gear than tank. I mean every tank knows situation where is BLM doing awesome AoE and MNK/NIN doing awesome single target damage where you are usually just barely keeping aggro.

- Know the surroundings - It happens that people on accident pull a chain of mobs, Its your responsibilty to get them out of that mess.

Accidentally (like patrols) and on purpose which happens with impatient people (usually that means that you are doing too small pulls)

And then ofcourse NUMBERING!
If you are DPS focus the ones that are numbered! Lower geared tanks might not keep up with 2 players going full down on different mobs like well geared tanks can. Or we also usually mark targets that should die asap for whatever reason.
