To be fair to him , he got the Emmy , Grammy and Tony preHamilton which just shows that he ' s not a one hit wonder . <| sep |> A fool and his money . <| sep |> I hate Telenet and their shitty everything with the fiery passion of a thousand suns <| sep |> Why ? They get them back in an over <| sep |> I ' ll take some of that action . <| sep |> Tanking should have gotten easier when you got Defiance and after that you should be able to tank groups relativly easily . Switching to Paladin doesn ' t make much of a difference since Overpower is a better than Flash for aoe aggro . There are a few things that are important in FF 14 when it comes to tanking . Your aggrothreatenmity however you want to call it all depends on the damage you deal . Each tank ability and tank stances works with these . Take a look at the enmity tables for Warrior The important parts here is that the 123 combo Heavy Swing , Skull Sunder , Butcher ' s Block has the highest amount of enmity generation at the end with Butcher ' s Block , Heavy Swing has no enmity bonus itself , only the tank stance will increase it ' s enmity but reduce it ' s damage . Some other important things how enmity works in this game . the person who pulls has a small enmity lead provoke is highest enmity 1 , this spell does barely anything but itself you want to combo it with atleast skull sunder or overpower to gain a lead . Never provoke and use heavy swing you will loose enmity instantly again . Since enmity is damage based , keeping your weapon up to date is important . Weapon is by far the most important item . This also means that berserk , unchained or other forms of damage buffs will greatly increase your enmity . If you start a fight with unchained berserk it ' s a butload of addition enmity . I personally would advice to also get Flash from gladiator as a cross class skill , it does no damage but you can use it even when you have no tp and you can use it even if you are can ' t attack because of the berserk debuff . Flash and Overpower also have different types of aoes . Flash is a medium sized circle around you while overpower is a 45 attack in the direction of your target . When I tank a typical setup for me is run through the mobs and Flash because it ' s easier to aim than overpower and when I have pulled 23 packs I use overpower and Steel Cyclone this is more of a endgame thing but you still want to reach all mobs with your aoes . If you only tank 1 pack you can always pull by using Tomahawk and then Flash or overpower 1 or 2 times . If you are not doing aoe pulls , which is most likely the case in lower levels , mark targets and focuse enmity on those . If people attack different numbers it ' s their own fault . Another helpful thing are the 2 visual guides to tanking to help a bit with different aspects of tanking . Another thing quite different in this game than in other ' s is that cooldowns are there to be used . Don ' t save them you want to rotate them on trash . This will make healing you easier , a good cooldown rotation will help you more than gear that ' s a few ilv higher . Bloodbath Overpower Vengeance is commonly used combo for big packs . You reduce all damage received by 30 % and heal for quite a bit yourself . Some other general tips for tanking in this game . The tank should set the pace of the run , this also means you should be somewhat readable in what you are doing . If you pull more than one pack pull fast , don ' t stop . If you stop people will assume you are not pulling more and will start dpsing , don ' t stand there for 2 or 3 skills and then start pulling again . One thing you should always remember , you are the tank you have no queue times for 99 % of the content in this game . If I mark targets in low level content and people constantly ignore them and single target nuke number 3 instead of 1 , I will just not tank it . Worst thing they can do is kick me and I have lost at worst the time in the dungeon , I can just start another run .
