Other MMOs have tanks that play around CONSTANTLY fighting to keep agro, and constantly mitigating damage and not just the occasional tank buster. ofcource such a change in FF14 would require all the tanks being reworked, rework how enmity works AND change EVERY SINGLE FIGHT IN THE GAME to the new way that tanks work, which ofcource is not feasible.

Bottom lines is that if SE wants tanks to do their main role and nothing else skills like fell cleave, dps stances like sword oath and deliverance, and things like Fight or Flight or Berersk would need to be removed.
