So I have been leveling my healer to lvl 30 and I had to do dungeons of course and in one dungeon at lvl 28 I ran into a group where I noticed the tank had began taking large amounts of damage and I am not taking oh he drops to about 50% after I cast stone II for a while, no as soon as a fight with at lest a group of three his HP would drop at the start down to 45%. After a couple of pulls I checked his gear and he was a lvl 28 in lvl 20 gear (no not kidding all left gear was 20).
When I brought it up to are group both the DD defended the tank saying "Oh you just need a good weapon he is keeping agro!" and yet ow he did this was to spam Overpower while the ninja gave him extra TP nearly every fight. After a while I just dealt with it and around the second boss in the basement I said that I don't think the next one will go well with all the adds that spawn, and again the DD said it was fine because of his weapon (ignoring how fast his HP dropped in every fight) and then called me a keyboard warrior and told me to go off to reddit. No surprises I was right we whipped twice and with me healing a black mage and using Stone until my MP was drained we finished the encounter by the skin of are teeth.
So is it common for Tank to just have really shitty gear besides there weapon? When I leveled tank I made sure all my gear was topped out for my level so the healer would not have to worry too much on healing me, this guy didn't even have flash and I was chastised for that as well. I have leveled both Tanks and never seen this before I don't do lvl 50 content for my tanks but this just out right confused me on both the Tank and the defense the DD were doing on this guy.
