User blog comment:Leolab/Hawke's Party (Dragon Age 2) v Adventurers (Final Fantasy XIV)/@comment-3189283-20170516101954

(I apologize in advance for any mistakes I make, can't say I'm familiar with either of these games and there is a lot of information to digest) Let's see shall we

Main Tank 

I'm giving this edge straight to Batman  Argasar. Aveline certainly fulfils the defensive duties of a Tank and the vast majority of her move set buffs her durability or helps buff the durability of those around her. making her an almost tank/healer. However while she can take a lot of damage from what I can gather she doesn't really have all that much in the way of offensive abilities and of the ones she does have only Assult really seems to be all that powerful. Argasar is much more balanced in this regard, with much fewer defensive abilities but backed up with half a page worth of offensive minded abilities with the most impressive being Mercy Stroke which is one heck of a powerful finishing move.

Furthermore Argasar also has abilities which can steal health and mana from an opponent for his own use which he can use to weaken Aveline and make use of his own impressive offensive arsenal and hell Sole Survivor means that if he defeats her he regains 20% of his mana and health, making her defeat even more bad news for the party. Aveline also seems to be a bit too fond on using abilities such as Serve & Protect and Bodyguard which means she'll also be taking damage meant for other party members and Hero's Synergy is an even more potent version of the other two. And let's not forget Living Dead which allows Argasar to keep on fighting for a short while even after getting "killed".

Edge: Adventurers
