I'd had some flights of fancy of being an OT during 4-man content as a Dragoon, and I only lived through the Cerberus fight in WoD by equipping tank jewelry and attacking the Unknowns before they smeared the mages ("lol why a tank inside tahts dumb"), but I never really thought qualitatively about a spear tank until I saw the statue of Halone in Ishgard. I want it. I want there to be a shield-and-spear tank, it would be awesome.
Also Judge.
