    List of Bosses Tanks Can Stun/Silence?

    I've almost always played SCH and decided to get into tanking. I know with some bosses it's beneficial/required to Stun/Silence certain abilities. Do any well seasoned tanks happen to know where I can find a comprehensive list of all dungeons that have bosses which skills can be interrupted with Stun/Silence, or would be willing to list out what they know?

    I've been looking everywhere and can't find much. And I feel like I'm not doing my job properly if I don't know this information.

    I wouldn't bother with this, if I were you. Ever since they removed Brutal Swing from Warrior and forced them to use up a role action slot for a stun, I stopped bothering with it. If something needs interrupting, I won't be the one to do it. Let the DPS do it, for all I care. The other role actions are just that more valuable, and even in solo-tank content, it's not worth the hassle that is changing up your role actions/hotbars.

    That said, there really isn't anything that you absolutely HAVE to stun, except maybe the final boss of Void Ark, A4S, A7S, and maybe some other rare cases.

    99% of bosses can't be interrupted in any way, let alone any meaningful way. Honestly it makes you wonder why Stun/Silence is even a thing.
    The only boss off the top of my head that can be is the Scorpion boss in Satasha Hard, where you or the DPS stun him to stop him insta-gibbing whoever he targets with an ability.

    I wondered about this because every time I try it fails. So why put it in the toolkit,?

    Let's see... Ifrit Hard can be stunned... Titan Hard can be blinded... I think most bosses in 30 or below dungeons can be stunned as well, but I believe that's about it. The vast majority of them just laugh at you. Heck, a lot of the normal mobs in dungeons lately have been unstunnable. They're really phasing out the usefulness of the ability.

    Stun/silence are very very rarely useful in this game, but used to be required in very few raid fights. On the top of my head I can remember stunning the adds from A3S, the steaming leg in A4S and the add from T5, silencing the golems from T9 and the balls from T1 and T2. Other than some very niche cases like those, it has always been completely useless.

    The first boss in A6S needs to be silenced. But when I did run it, the BRD/MCH would do that.

    I think the chimera can be silenced when its eyes turn violet for that Dragon Cry attack ( I forget the name.)
