Pretty good example of aoe tanking.

From what I noticed people think multi target means just 2 mobs. I typically pull 3 groups so when they say "I tab halone combo and its more efficient." For you to get a combo off on lets say 5 mobs that would take 37.5 seconds to complete. Whereas with flash spam it would only take maybe 10-15 seconds.

You are also less spikey.

Your active mitigation procs for less, therefore you take bigger hits less often, lolwut? Also, macros have no place in this game.

Hoplite is enuf for Titan HM & few first boss of Coil.. The only matter is the right timing for a PLD to pop his/her utility skills
My team didn't call me "vegetables armor" anymore after I go through Garuda HM and so on due to my GC sword & shield and full set of Hoplite armor (all green equipments)

If u have no luck for getting HM weapon, don't push your luck.. Just do it again and again with "Skill", not "Gear"..
U will see how it boosts your morale when tanking turn 5

Thanks for the frequent updates. This guide just keeps improving every time I don't look at it for awhile. Now if the Vanity system can just come out... I agree with your best in slot choices. I just don't like that eventually every other paladin will look the same as me.

OP,
Thanks alot for putting all of this information together. I to have been tanking end game in MMOs for many years. I got my start with EQ1 back in 99.
Think ive tried almost every MMO since then, but have had my biggest end game progression in EQ1/EQ2/WoW/Rift. Usually always a main tank.

Im just getting started in FF14 so this thread is helpful to get me off in the right direction. I look forward to seeing it grow and possibly adding a few gems along the way.
