Job Tweak Suggestions Tank Roles

Delirium could be more utilized if we had the ability to make Dark Arts add a different effect to it, without making it some kind of crazy OP skill like most people want? Just something to discuss. IDK if I have any ideas as to what it may be instead, but I was thinking something similar to Storm's Path (10% global damage reduction from the target) for the same duration as the INT down currently is (20sec). Give it a risk/reward for more actively managing your MP through DA usage. About the only major change I would want to the class.

Change the Dart Arts Power Slash effect to increased magic dmg taken or something because that is the one thing I or any Drk should ever waste their Dark Arts on. Change Delirium to reduce magic dmg taken by 10% instead of having it tied to INT like MNK so it can stack might be a little OP but i'd rather have utility Drk lacks severe utility. Or have a Cover like ability called "Blood Link" where you link yourselves to 3-4 party members in a 25 yard range to transfer % dmg to the Drk instead (can be magical or physical) this means they'd have to change PLDs cover to physical and magical as well giving them both options.

For 4.0 I hope they give us more tank stats like Dodge, Parry, Block, Set bonuses, that are worth a damn and retool them, but now i'm just being too optimistic, the stats in this game while simple are just meh at the end of the day.

Didn't think I get so many responses so fast! This is awesome! I wanted Heavy's Swing TP cost to match Paladin's and Dark Knight's first skill TP cost. As for their AOEs having more enmity, I notice on levels 50 and below, there are times where players still have issues controlling enmity. When this happens, they often tend spam their AOEs way too often and losing MP or TP. So with the increase enmity, they wouldn't have to AOE as often as before and focus more on their single rotations. But that is just my experience and my personal opinion on what I wouldn't mind seeing patch notes before 4.0. Keep giving me your thoughts and ideas on what you would want to see or wouldn't want to see.

Wow I see a lot of interesting Tank ideas here. Hopefully the staff of FFXIV will see some of these and maybe decide to use them in future patches Keep giving me more of your opinions and what you would like to see in future patches!

Flaah - a dot that transfer all eminity to the caster Dot timer 9 secs this effect can only be used every 2 mins. Note that flash is still 2.5 secs only the effect will be on cd. Still has the blind effect but blind is not on cd

I been thinking of adding DA to shadow wall to increase mitigation to 40% (making it equal to traited Sentinel doesn't too broken.

[Super_Smiley]

This is just awesome! I didn't think I see so many different ideas for Tanks here. Keep showing more of your opinions and ideas of what you will like to see before patch 4.0

Give. Paladin. A. Gun.

[Brannigan]

That's more dark knight's thing, really. Gotta lose the left hand for it though.

[Shurrikhan]

Agreed. Hand-, erm... cannons, belong with big swords. On Paladins it'd just make for passive/pavise play.
