Having dealt with Arcanists and their Carby's, I can tell you this with almost 100% certainty. The Carbuncle simply have a higher threat generation than a GLD tank. That alone, does not make them a better tank. They won't move out of one shot effects, nor pick up adds on the fly.
They also annoy me to no end when I'm trying to do my freaking job as the TANK, and your little rat is ripping aggro off me at the same time the archer is doing the same to a different mob, while the THM is doing it to the third mob!
End rant. Simply put, please, for the love of god and me not tearing out my hair, put your Topaz's away during a dungeon. For those of us that have been tanks for years(myself, nearly a decade across a half dozen or so games), it's nothing but a pest. To those trying to LEARN to tank, it's a crutch that I highly doubt will be viable for higher level and end game tanking, which will result in more and more low skilled tanks when we get to that point.
Please, use your emerald Carby's for dungeons when you have a tank!
