War/Dnc the tank that couldn't

[Tonko]

Its like a parody of a Ruke post.

except Byte is 100% serious about war bloodtanking..

How sad for him. I wonder if he also believes that if he tries hard enough, he can do anything he puts his mind to? And that girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice?

Holy shit.

Wish someone would have told me a new section to the bible was being added.

I seriously started to read that, but then realized it was just nonsense mostly. I scrolled for at least a min with my wheel mouse till it ended.......

So let me get this straight, his argument that war is as good a tank as pld is that they have better elemental resistances from the God set, and that their AF has more enmity than pld AF? This guy knows absolutely nothing about tanking in this game...

Tanking is about survivability. pld is such a great tank because we can mitigate most hits with shadows, and cure ourselves for additional enmity. Nin's are great tanks because they can avoid most hits, and hold a very high hate threshold. War/nin would basically be a nin tank that can't evade or parry and that would be hard pressed to generate good CE.

I regret every moment I spent reading that

Is not as lol as it seems, though "Macachainsaw+1 has good DPS" ORLY? PLD with A+ in sword, whiffs a lot on mobs as it is.

Provoke and Defender
Whenever a PLD makes the tough decision to sub something other than WAR, they throw away these great abilities. Fortunately, as a WAR, you never lose these abilities. For example, to take advantage of the massive hate potential of Curaga (/WHM) or Bind (/DRK, /RDM, /BLM), PLD must lose their ability to Provoke and the not often mentioned Defender (Which increases defense dramatically). WAR can sub any of these jobs to receive these spells without losing the abilities. Considering that most defensive PLD gear can be equipped by WAR, this idea has a lot of potential.

Best part of the whole thing.

A brief history of Warrior as a tank

Why am I not part of this, tsk.

Considering SE effectively stated that WAR/DNC was meant to be an xp mob tank

Where?

In one of the earlier interviews, SE mentioned adding abilities to make an existing job more tank-viable for exp parties, but that it would not be a good choice for HNMs. It is evident that Retaliation + dancer sub makes Warrior a viable xp tank, complete with two provokes and self-curing abilities.

Of course, this wouldn't be the first time that the dev team designed something one way and it ends up being used another. Always possible that WAR/DNC might become mainstreamish sometime in the future for HNM tanking.

Only constructive reply in this entire thread. Fail, BG, Fail. And you call this Advanced Discussion? This is nothing but a drama, flame and troll fest.

However, I'm not going to argue this with people that aren't going to listen, so this is the last post I'm going to make here.

Fuck off the boards you faggot.

They also said they'd be changing one of the existing jobs along side them saying this. They mentioned war would get retaliation and that a current job might be getting turned into a tank or getting more tank like abilities. If you're going to conclude this being it, then it is pretty naiive considering you can conclude the collaborator boost is on the same line.

[sunb1ind]

What a fuckin R-tard. Anyone who spends that much time failing at an easy ass fucking game like this needs to grab a boxcutter and go at it. How much time did you spend brainstorming, writing, proofreading, and publishing that damn essay??

Kujata. I'm lovin' it.

Well, say what you will, but I don't have much faith in any other job getting a tanking boost. I can always hope for MNK though!

Maybe one day they will give ninja the things it needs to finally be a tank .
