Learning to tank FF style(or learning how to be a proper flasher)

[saber_alter]

In some fights, this is useful. You can actually "dodge" Titan's Mountain Busters by blinding him with Flash. But most of them are invulnerable to these status, which saddens me.

it seems we are slowly getting hit harder and harder in the debuff/CC dept...

Cool downs are situational, that comes with experience in tanking and knowing the mechanics of the encounter be it trash or boss. Your opener should be (blood for blood if you really want to but its extra damage on you too) Flight or Fight, Shield Lob, Circle of Scorn, Flash (depending on how confident you are you can flash twice) and then go into your rotations, remember to put in a shield swipe when it procs.

Enemies become immune after your 3rd flash or shield bash if the blind effect or stun actually works on them.

Thanks for the info, and on a quasi-related note player note: what's considered the appropriate wait time before kicking someone who dc'd? had it happen twice where I would dc and by the time I get back(2-3 minutes) I've already been kicked.
