Anything that's a stronger DD than Paladin is a better hate-generator on anything weaker than the solo-tank-efficiency boundary. Why? Because all of those abilities you mentioned earlier only generate VE. Paladin has to deal damage, cure, or Flash if they want to build CE, which can't be done nearly as quickly as jobs that can generate more damage. Again, falsehoods where?

Or are you claiming now that tanking in pairs is not exponentially more efficient than solo tanking on hard NMs?
Its like you're going in cycles. Your claims are all subjective.. Did you miss the point I made with Trick Attack? Moving on, to make things clear when I say solo tank, I mean tank without the need of a supporting tank on difficult monsters. I hope that clears things up. I'm claiming PLD role is not a supporting role. Your claims about MNK is true, in fact they can solo tank almost anything inside Abyssea, but outside is a different story I'm not sure. All supporting tanks jobs in FFXI now assumes the role as main tank. Now tell me your story about RDM solo tanking on a HNM with DD generating hate. I'm very curious about this..

With that said about stronger DD that generates more enmity, that brings us back to square one. In order for PLD to keep up, they need some changes..
