THM vs Tank FIGHT!!

[YuriSan]

Hahaaaa i wasnt really seeking help in here. was just a thread i posted for fun. as i said in the original post lol.

I know tanking well now. it's all about THMs feeling like they do something that is difficult to do and feeling awesome about it when in reallity they do something that the crappiest THM can do if he spams thunder combos.. thats all.
Imma go now. will find those THMS and tell them to tank while i am THM...
I'LL SHOW THEM AWESOME!!

jk. i aint hating really. It's only in pickup parties that i have issue like that. my own group knows better that to do stuff that will actually decrease the chances of success in a battle. (and there another smiley face, that should do it)

you know I've parties as thaum and con Renshi is a good Tank but i've pulled hate offa him as con then got thoroughly scolded.... anyway I've taken hate as thaum too from over nuking. I myself joke about it calling myself a mage tank. Then when I do that I try to slow down on my nuking. *sighs* i love nuking though.... btw I don't think I'm better than the tank if I take hate

"Good Tank" difficult term imo...

A tank is a good one if he reacts well in a bad situation, when things go shitty.
Enmity control? meh...
Most can keep hate on them, as long as they dont have THMs killing the whole battle that is.

Overzelous thm's yank hate. Decent to good thms know how to ride the hate line.

[fusional]

What they should not be doing is trying to out dps someone else...

lollllllllllllll

anyway, the person who suggested MRD tanking early in the thread is pretty spot on. GLD relies too much on static hate from ability use. damage is a large factor in enmity in this game, since 1 dmg = 1 enmity, and MRD just hits a lot harder on ifrit. considering flat blade in a combo does like 2x enmity of damage dealt, and flat blade is only hitting ifrit for like 20 dmg... yeah. not amazing.

gld is better for moogle, though, since it can mitigate more damage and actually do reasonable damage to the moogles at the same time.

anyway, if anyone hasn't seen this yet they should probably check it out. understanding enmity is definitely a group effort.

but you can't just blame it all on one class. everyone has to be better at managing it. tanks need to generate more so dps can go harder, dps need to go as hard as possible without crossing hate threshold, blah blah.

Then I have to give him my apologizes, I recognize that answer was kinda harsh... So cheers!

No... I wasn't being rude... I just figured you were typing quick when you put Wait for Parry with War drum since war drum comes after blocks.. and not parries... it was by mistake...
I just didn't want anyone to see that and think they could use War drum after a parry...
Figured it was a typo....
You're still my favorite Marauder

Not true... the higher the defense on a MOB... the better Glad is as a tank.....
Because Damage goes up or down depending on the MOB but the hate generated from abilities is consistent.
Honestly... the difference between damage from a Glad and damage from a MRD on Ifrit has been reduced considerably
MRD use to outdamage glad by light years... now.. not so much
