tanking

I had never even seen this thing before, but I had him figured out just by the info wiki gave. So easy I had time to wave to everyone mid tank ^^ But of course... JoL pulled a fast one But was awesome fun, only got 1 shotted twice, otherwise I had him licked.

Got my solea first try Friday and finally got resentment cape today 1/4. Now if only I can get a dalmatica and a lamia +1 bow

So we got into a discussion on my Sky LS's forum. Someone mentioned that K Osode was good for NIN's to tank in. Now in my experience tanking things on NIN, /WAR and /DRK (not had that much practice in this department). I really can't think of a time I would use K Osode. According to the person...

I don't know why this though came to me, but with the new DRK abilities, it seems to me like DRK/PLD using an Axe/Sword and shield combo could be a potentially viable tank. With Drain 2's HP boost, dread spikes, and /PLDs, albeit lesser, Sentinel damage mitigation, it seems like a DRK could...

Hello everyone ^_^. Now before we go jumpin' on ol' Reya's back about how much the job sucks or what in the world PUP is suppost to do, or my favorite, You lvl'd DRG and now PUP?! What's wrong with you girl?! The story: I'm trying to finish off my blm to add a little bit more choices in my end...

I had a thought about straight tanking mobs, specifically KB and Kirin. The strategy for a straight tanked kirin, from my understanding, was to have so many people share the stonega that it didn't do that much damage per person. Kirin and KB are both highly resistant to stun, so it's not...

now i've tanked some exp mobs... tanked EP up to T crabs np, solo'd golden hataku eyes, toke on tanking for impuse drive NM, tanked zm12 NM, and even tanked the most of the avatars. but thier has to be a new height for me as a sam tank: of course i couldn't of done it w/o evil. he's my...

Okay, like the topic says, I need some good advice for tanking on NIN, I know there was a topic about tanking in general earlier in this GD thread, but! I'm focused strictly towards NIN, I have all the Ni and Ichi spells cept Jubaku, simply because I don't feel like spending 500k on the scroll...

I have a level 20 Ninja, and I'd like it at 37 for a sub. The thing is, I suck at tanking; I've never cared for it, and can't seem to do the job as well as I'd like. I realize that at lower levels they aren't effective tanks, so I'm wondering if there's a way to level ninja without having to...

I realized I probably should post this question here. For someone who has never fought an empty, I would like to know what are some of the new ins and outs of tanking or damage-dealing against an Empty as opposed to other mobs. It is my understanding that they behave differently, so I would...

Well as i've been working on war/mnk tank for a while i was wondering.Is vit better to have or is defense? i mean two phalanx rings with 20 defense better or the ones with 4 each so 8 total Vit.I know vit decreases the max dmg a mob can hit you for but ahh is that better than being hit hard at a...

Well i have the two SJs i needed be one of the best DDs in game.Now i wanna do some tanking.I know ninja is a good SJ and with evasion it works out pretty well but i'm looking for SJ for war that increases defense of War by a good number,when subbed.I hear Mnks have nice HP boost and vit but not...

hello all i was just needing to ask can war/mnk tank all the way to 75 as an elvann female because it seem's that the following macro grab's hate and hold's hate /ja Provoke <t> /wait 15 /ja Boost <me> /wait 15 /ja Boost <me> now reapeating that could keep hate on me as a war/mnk if i am...

The other night after finishing rank 5 I was bored and was thinking about farming when an LS mate of mine /telled me and told me that the party he was in was going to need a replacement for him. I was hesitant at first since he was a lvl 44 pld and I was a lvl 41 pld with 3k tnl but I was bored...
