Please Help (Tank Advice)

[Estellios]

Vydarr makes excellent points, but I also want to add that your friend should make sure his gear is up-to-date and not broken. If his weapon is weak or broken, your friend will do terrible damage and therefore not be getting good hate at all. If his armor is weak or broken, he will be taking more damage than he should be and the healer will need to cast a lot more to keep him alive, which will cause them to get hate. High Defense gear is very noticeable so he should be careful and make sure he isn't picking up gear with low defense that is intended for DPS.

It's best to let the tank take some hits at the start of a fight because not only do you get full hate for overhealing and will probably outpace the tank if you start doing so, you actually get rewarded with a larger limit break boost if you heal the tank when they are under 50% HP. If you are running with healers spamming Cure right as your friend pulls, you need to let them know because at that point it is there fault.

Aside from that he just has to make sure to use Flash and/or Overpower every so often to make sure the enemies stay on him, if his gear is fine the healer should have no problem keeping him alive even if he has 3-4 enemies on him.
