First time going into CT.

Don't forget that in LoTA, on Behemoth if you are OT, you will need to tank the Giants. They spawn on the cardinals North, East, and South. N pops a few seconds after Behemoth is pulled, so be ready for him. E pop right after the meteor phase, so soon as that plops run to E and grab away, same for S. While tanking them, Behemoth will toss out a tornado behind the giant. That sukks for MNK's and DRG, not so much for DRG anymore, so a good way to tank them is to position them with you nuzzled in the little corner where the tornado meets with the edge of the arena. With your back to the edge of the arena the giant is facing you and looking outside and not in the nado. This allows access to the back and flank of the giant, while also insuring he doesn't get a cleave on a tower. Also for last boss in LoTA, if your OT you could go DPS a bit, or just hang back by the platforms, out of the fire, wait for the claws to spawn and get their attention, let em feel u up a bit, you can take it. This allows DPS to do their thing, and ensures a healer isn't unnecessarily trapped.

ST OT duties, are mainly on trash, grab your group and huddle up with your other tank buddies. Grab adds on Boss battles when required (Scylla - after daybreak, Glybia (or whatever) - run into drones for fetters so DPS can do tha thing, tank the robots that spawn in second phase, their placement is important so ask for a fellow member to show you where to be, they pop after the pizza's dissapear. Amon - Stun slimes, grab Kum Kum's, stun snakes, hide behind ice. Xande...nothing, Sword Oath and STR acc's for a small contribution to DPS. Maybe cover a DPS or healer that took a AOE to the face.)

I prolly missed a bunch - but that was just a quick rundown of what I remember and to kinda give you an idea as to what you will be doing as OT.

Have fun and GL fellow shield brother.
