I know this will either go ignored or I'll be flamed, but here it goes.
I still think NIN would work great on tiamat (and jormy for that matter), need to let hate set in though, TAs to go off, etc. You can't deny that I *was* doing well, till I died. Keep in mind also that was my only time attempting to tank anything of that proportion. I wasn't taking much damage either till he flew into the air. As I said, double march + haste spell + all my haste gear = 24 second recast on utsusemi: Ni. Also keep in mind my -26% physical damage taken(tiny incomparison to what i *could* get with HQ arhat's), +21 vit (genbu's kabuto + tavnazian taco), 500+ defense. I take similar damage to other tanks when utsu is down^^ Only weak point is HP.
Enmity-wise, even, nin has a lot of options. Someone with an unlimited amount of gil can get up to +33 enmity. I only have +21, but it gets the job done^^ Even the elemental wheel pulls a good amount of hate with that amount of enmity.
I heard aqua mention he had trouble healing due to equip changes.. if so, I could just ditch the equip changes and try my best otherwise.
And yeah I made a bad pull.. it wasnt totally clear where I was supposed to pull it to. I wasnt with for the last tiamat fight.
To be completely honest, I went nuts last night setting up macros, buying equip, etc for tiamat. I was excited, I really wanted to try it.
To give up after one try, hurt to say the least. What you guys totally shot down after one try is something I put one hell of a lot of effort into.
Another problem I suppose is that I was the only nin with the correct equip setup for it. Not going to evade him, and not going to keep hate with katanas. Then again, we only have 2 nins in the first place. Nin mains anyway.
If my nin is useless at 90% of ls events, why do I even bother?
