The taru tank. (rant-ish)

[Kagerou]

WRONG

nothing is sexier than a taru unleashing Asuran Fists or Tachi:Gekko

[neighbortaru]

I'll back up LotusWing on the taru Asuran fist bit.

Mithra make the worst tank... lol

Mithra has more hp than taru, more/same AGI as taru, more VIT than taru.... Why are they the worst when taru has all those tank disadvantages? O.o; If you talk about a PLD, then it may be is true.. but even as a Mithra PLD, I can tank better than any supposedly BEST tank race I met. From what I know, tank is about holding hate, as a Mithra myself, I will be modest, and say I can hold hate better than all those tanks I partied with. :p

Anyway, Taru's Dragon Kick is the best, or Minstrel axe(sp? the throw axe WS)

[Voila!]

Voila.. hes unstoppable already as a taru lol.. being a hume/galka or elvaan will only hinder his ability as a ninja due to tarus high agi..

He rarely gets hit, only when someone else in the party does something that requires him to regain agro and focus on that more than counting shadows. This is rare, and only happened in pickup parties.

I'm glad hes taru.. because nothing is sexier than a tarutaru ninja using blade:ten :X

Unstoppable... in Ballista? I think not. He'll be trampled on by just about any other job.

Taru aren't sexy at all... Once your blood-alchohol level comes down a few notches I'm sure you'll feel differently.

Okay voila i'll talk about something useless since you brought up bastilla :X.. That perhaps has nothing to do with what we are talking about.. what the heck is wrong with you?

And the above mithra.. I believe mithars make good tanks.. Tarus make good tanks as well as any other race.. Simple fact is a lot of people cannot play Ninja and so go with PLD so they can somewhat slack more.

Okay dont give me that bull about PLD make better tanks overall ect. ect... Its just a little known fact that it takes a lot more skill to play a ninja than a pld, i'm not saying nin are better than pld, just they require more skill to be on the same lvl as a pld.

Taru nins have it harder because they have a smaller gap of mistakes due to their HP.. but so do mithra ninjas. Ever see a mithra ninja tank something 60+ without any shadows? They go down about as fast as a taru, as do humes. Elvaans and galkas can take a couple more beatings, but in the end, their hp is going to be loss just as fast. It really depends on your WHM and how quick they are with heals.

I'll be modest here and say I make one of the better healers for ninja tanks having growing up with my b/f's taru ninja as main tank for 75 lvls. I learned when I can/cant slack off on cures or being prepared with them.

Bastilla is crap lol.. unless you try to go like taru nin vs hume nin or something like that.. even then my b/f defeated a galka nin @75 in bastilla .. How did he do it? skill.. was the galka a loser or messed up? Possibly.. i'm not saying he can defeat all galka ninjas, but the galka could not hit him for nothing.. both had same gear pretty much, since they are in the same LS.

1. its Ballista not Bastilla
2. Voila is probably posting just to piss u guys off
3. if u pt with someone that is either gimped, has no skill, or a pest, then kick and invite someone else

end of story, goodbye

[Voila!]

Thanks for wrapping that up for us Lotus, I can finally die in peace. You forgot to add number four: 'Facts are facts and if we wanted a soccer ball for a tank we'd invite Mia Ham.'

Statistically, and through popularity, Elvaans and Galkas and Humes and Mithras and the imaginary race of mice-men I made up just now for the sole purpose of proving my point, are better tanks then taru.

There's level 75 ninjas in each of the three most popular En HNMLSs on Seraph, and none of them are Taru.

(| Hmm... |) (| What? |)

:confused:

So because someone's personal preference on aesthetics makes the other class suck?

I guess that means that every person whore decides to play a mithra is a 2-dollar whore looking to get some cyber action going on.

[JungBunny]

ZQM... HAHAHA.. your wrong! i'm 1.5 dollars or for lotus thats one dollar and fifty cents..

Get a life lotus :X.. n/m forgot you majorezfd inenglizzh hepls em unerdstandz? :angel:

Voila all that proves is that everyone one of those ninjas wanted to be a hume elvaan galka, w/e.. on my server theres a lot of taru ninjas 75 in HNM ls.. not over 40 but i can actually name around 4-7 that are 75. Perhaps ninjas on my server are just more skilled?

Hopefully this is my last post in this thread.
First off, I would like to say, like I've said all along, that I respect Taru tanks.

This argument for Tarus being better tanks because they have to "work harder" is absolute BS. Every solid played in this game wants to be the best they can be. Tanks especially because their job is so obviously vital for a pt. There have been times where i haven't held hate well, so what did I do? You think I just ignored it and hurt xp for a different pt? NO, I went and fixed it, because I want to be a good tank. Whether it meant, getting better equipment, getting food etc... I got better. Its called a learning curve and every FFXI player goes through, but in different ways. Elvaan and Galka tanks are not spoiled, but their learning curves differ than what tarus have to go through.

Also this stuff about Tarus having a "chip on their shoulder" because they are the minority of tanks is also BS.
Analogy:
In Basketball, the majority of good players are black, yet there are some white players also. Now, these white players are very good, some just as the black players in fact. However, anybody who suggests that most white players would be better just because they are less of them, and they have less natural skill, therefore they have more to prove and try harder, is in reality flat out wrong. In works in theory, but only because you assume that other players dont have motivation.

ELVAAN are the pimped out, thugging black ballers who dominate the tanking world.

You cracka ass TARU need to know your role.

[JungBunny]

ehh.. okay i'll listen to you level 41 warrior/ninja ; ;

maybe you should go back to your role and be more of a listener than a speaker
