My most recent accomplishments?
-Acquiring a Parade Gorget not only for myself, but the 75PLD in my LS who just came back to the game.
-Tanking in XP, having the WHM pop Benediction when everyone was in the red, and the mob not even so much as glancing at the WHM.
-Tanking 3 IT++ mobs at once without a WHM in XP, and no one dropping below white HP.
Also a short story: back not long ago a DRG friend of mine and I joined a Crawler's Nest party fighting beetles. The party INSISTED on a NIN tank *coughlazywhitemagecough*, with myself as backup. The puller pulls back a beetle and gets a link, both IT++. The DRG and I duo the link while the rest of the party (NIN, WHM, BLM, SAM)took the other one. The DRG came healing Wyvern, so no worries. We finish off our beetle, no outside support, come out barely in white HP. We turn, and the rest of the party is struggling so bad the NIN is almost dead. We jump in, I curebomb the NIN, and tank the rest of the beetle no problem. After that the NIN let me tank. =)
