    Well we're not really debating the merits of straight tanking versus kiting. This became an awful discussion about a single mob, that takes a minute to kill, and has an intended mechanic in place for avoiding a single ability it uses. It is, in my opinion, impossible to argue that staying in place and taking said ability to the face is more efficient than taking a few steps back to avoid it. This causes the mob to self-incapacitate. If someone cannot see that then that's pretty hopeless, again, in my opinion (not sure why I feel the need to emphasize this so much seeing as how this is a forum and those are designed for the sharing of ideas [opinions] to begin with).

    Anyhow, my deepest apologies if I've contributed to the shitting up of this thread. All I can say past that is ignore what Ace says. He is quite wrong the vast majority of times he posts and I hate nothing more than people getting incorrect information and wasting their time.

    Sorry I gota LOL at this, only thing I have ever advocated in these forums is that def/vit set up works and that strait tanking is more often a better option when tanking boss mobs. Soo you are on the record saying that, that is incorect. then you want to try to discredit me as far as having a working knowledge of how to tank, lmfao. Ok buddy, stack that enmity and hp all you want brother, just gives me somthing to LOL at when I see you running around in tank gear. Even before 2.2b keeping hate pld was childs play, sorry if you couldnt figure it out.

    How is it your spou out with ignorant statements and feel satisfied that you are correct. I fully understand the mechanics of the CC fight, taking CC down in 50seconds is comendable but that only gives credit to your DDs and shines light on the reason why you stack enmity. It dose NOT, however, credit you with anything other then managing to stay alive for 50 seconds while CC face rapes you and your 4200 hp LOL,

    This is in no way to discredit my fellow LS members, but we do not take CC down if 50 seconds, some of us just dont play often enough to build the gil or dol/doh job base to support epic gear builds. Dose that mean they are lesser players because it takes them twice the time in half the gear? I dont think soo. Your ego is unfounded. Weather or not you realize it , your party is carrying you. your simply the sacraficial lamb that apreantly takes pride in quick wins that had very little to do with your "tanking skills" Pending on the dificulty, gona love seeing your dead body pop outa Extreem Ifrit fight because your whole phylosiphy on tanking is built around speed kills. Truth be told , your whm could prolly do as well tanking CC with your tatics as you do.

    This gives credit to the tatic, admitedly, but dose not give any credit to your tank. I take pride in being able to actually support my WHMs by not taking damage like a pus, while strait tanking mobs that most run from, for no other reason other then to stay alive.

    Bah!, I have waisted enough time on you grey, even tho I belive your completely dilusional with your tanking phylosiphy, I can live with agreeing to disagree, besides, your gona prove my point for me on the new Ifrit fight anyways soo this whole discussion is needless. Enjoy your speed runs, till you change your veiw thats bout all you will be good for, wich btw, whm tanks work good for speed runs too lmfao.
