I'll typically do Tom/Provoke/Tom myself because I tend to be super TP conservative for moments like these.
And yeah, I don't think tanking is for me in this game. I do like to play fast and loose but I like weird mechanics. Like, when I realized that I finally got blind on my Flash for GLA I was like "SWEET MERCIFUL DAMAGE MITIGATION THROUGH STATUS EFFECTS WHAAAAA THAT'S SO COOL!" when I know fully well that's not how it plays. So far, none of the tank classes have that, although PLD seems more structured. I might dip my hand in there eventually but I fear I'll have to have a boring Cross-Class loadout because half of the cool shit you'd want will be covered by the Healer anyway.
I hate Berserk like the plague and almost never use it. I like having access to my abilities at all times way too much for it to be reliable, and if I've learned something in this game is that relying on others is just the best way to be disappointed.
I guess I also exaggerate how much I lose threat on stuff too - I typically run OT on Syrcus because while I still lose threat sometimes, I'd still like to think I'm useful on 2nd/3rd pull on the adds.
but then again I am ass at this game so w/e.
