The real problem with PLD

[Greatguardian]

I wonder if you actually read my post. I said those are some job abilities, and actions a paladin excels at. Of course you know pld/war gets provoke.



Not going to change the subject. The fact of the matter is PLD have the JA and equipment to excel in tanking. They don't make great damage dealers or healers. Although damage dealing can be subjective, but they don't excel in it.

So... what? That has absolutely nothing to do with it being a horrible idea to lock a monster onto a single target.

There is such a thing as having more than one Tank tanking a monster. And on anything that's actually seriously difficult, it's pretty much the standard.

You always want the ability to lose hate when you need to. Enmity management is an extremely important skill. It's blatantly obvious that we're working with completely different mindsets here. You're not even tanking a second tank into account at all, and that says a lot.

I'm taking you never solo tanked before. I agree there is nothing wrong with teamwork at all, anyone can tank if they can keep hate and survive. In my opinion pld is best at doing just that. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
