    On topic; WoD should just offer Weapon Tokens as an option for your weekly loot choice. Grab it, get an i120 weapon, unable to be upgraded.

    Off topic; You'd be better off worrying about your opener if you're having aggro issues, not your weapon. (I've taken aggro off tanks with i135 Dread/Zeta using my Nexus Bravura with just damage maximizing[Defiance down unless using Unchained for the free 10% Crit Boost & 300 potency Inner Beast])

    My WAR (i113) is +30 STR, 18 STR/ 20 or 21 VIT based i110 accessories and with my old Novus I tanked Dreadwyrm DPS fine, single or multitarget. My PLD (i110) is +30 VIT, same STR/VIT based i110 accessories and with i100 weapon tanks Augmented DPS fairly easily on single target.

    This. I've been volunteering to OT, but if I'm OT'ing, it's because I'm DPS'ing. If I'm pulling threat, withou Defiance, and I'm also not using butcher's Block . . it also means I'm doing top DPS to a single target. That means I've just shamed 5 people in the party. That being said, less shameful to the DPS, depending on the party makeup, I'll use SE/P > BB >SE/P > BB, maintaining Maim the whole time, and landing two BB's with full buff's on. If the other tank didn't open using the same or equivalent opening, I pull threat. The bonus threat from Defiance / Shield Oath is NOT soooo OP that you can just slack off all over the place and hold threat against people in decent gear that are pushing their DPS as hard as they can.

    Re: People being asses, and pulling threat on stuff. I just got my Zodiac yesterday, but I can tell you almost every single run in Amdapor, somebody always popped the Mimic, AFTER I ran down the stairs to the boss. No, I'm not running back up there. Why are you trying to solo a Mimic instead of coming to the boss fight? I mean, drag it into the boss fight, I'll voke it off you and tank both. Making the whole party wait it just a drag.

    And yes, if the party composition is one like MNK + BLM, I aim to keep the threat off the BLM. but if you start attacking stuff that I didn't even pull, and don't drag it to where the current MOBs are . . . I'll let that stuff kill you. better you die, then wipe he whole party imo.

    Also, in Snowcloak, if I pull everything except the second wolves, I'm OK with DPS who pull those wolves into the group. . . (and into my already spammed Overpower) but if we wipe it's on you!
