    I'm not too sure about defender and PDT becoming more popular in low man content.

    Firstly, war is actually better at PDT and defender tanking. Pretty much any jobs subbing war can do that. If the change is made so that pld tanking would be effective again. Will we have to wait and seek out the one and only high defense tanking job for events? Warrior is closest to pld in tanking defensively but they are even close to pld with a shield.

    Secondly, if damage taken is becoming a problem, people will more likely move to ninja sub before they will consider lowering monster attack or beef up their defence. Unless ninja sub is crippled, it seems more beneficial to simply use shadow and increase damage rather moderate it. Perhaps this will open up some Sam/war seogan tanking but I highly doubt it will be any better than it is now.

    This also leads to the third point, the modifications to def/atk will make abilities that increases attack like berserk, critical damage (high atk), cor and brd buffs more potent. So unless some sort of adjustment s are made to monsters also, we will see a shift to higher attack buffs rather defence.
