With the introduction of Abyssea and HP atmas, PLD are by far one of the worst jobs for tanking now. Give me a MNK with a few HP atmas, put them over 3k HP with cruor buffs and guess what, that PLD looks like a little kid pretending to be a superhero.
Can we please do something about this? I used to love leveling my PLD, but as soon as Abyssea came out, MNK became the best job for tanking something. Even the best geared PLD I have seen could not hold their own against even a lolpinkMNK with the right atmas.
How many ways can a PLD draw hate? A few buffs from other jobs, full enmity merits (not the best choice if you ever plan on leveling other jobs that need less enmity). Provoke, which sadly does just about nothing anymore, and it is not even an ability that PLD know naturally!
Come on guys. Work with the PLD's here. How about a job ability that gives the old classic Japanese *tugs on an eye and sticks out the tongue for a raspberry*. Might be too comical, but if it worked, I'd spam the snot out of it whenever possible.
