tanks not using cooldowns?

[Jpec07]

This thread isn't helpful or providing any insight on how to actually improve at tanking.

It's okay to vent, complain, and seek validation, you know. There are no rules saying "EVERY THREAD IN THE TANKING FORUMS MUST BE HELPFUL AND A GUIDE TO HELP PEOPLE IMPROVE TANKING IN THE FIRST POST OR IT WILL BE DELETED." People are allowed to complain, and in this case, the complaint is a very valid one.

If someone is allowed to make new threads complaining about and trying to fix problems that don't exist for a job they've never even played, a post like this is certainly acceptable. If you don't like it, just move on.

And as OP has stated, there is a metric shittonne of excellent discussion on cooldowns and their usage in the 12 pages that currently comprise this thread. No, it's not all in the first post, but it doesn't have to be, either. Might be more condensed if it was, but every post here is catalogued by Google bots, so if someone searches for FFXIV tank cooldowns, this thread is very likely to come up.

tl;dr: get off your high horse.
