There is no confusion. The problem is that you seem to think "when you really need a tank" means tanking golems and mega bosses. And everyone else thinks of tough situations with decently damaging mobs that a lot of things will not be able to handle.

Bernice and the blacks do an equally good work for pretty much every damn mob out there apart from the golems/bosses AND they deal more damage (Well, Bernice only with SA). So in that sense, Gellius is only really the best choice if he removes the need for another healer or something else would have died. Most heavy armours as well as Nadia do not die vs most of the standard heavy-hitters that are not mega-endgame-bosses-of-fucking-doom-and-deathination. So in that sense Gellius is probably not the best choice.

So there is the problem - you keep saying "tanking" as if every map in the future will include high end bosses and thus saying Gellius is best. Meanwhile the rest of us look at pretty much every other map where we do not face those ultimate bosses and seeing that Gellius can be easily replaced on those.

Edit: I had to google deathination and only usernames on different sites popped up. I shall now declare this as a new fancy word for ultimate destruction.
