I have to agree with rog, that is why at this time there is nothing special about aegis. I specifically said Empyrean sword or sword/shield since the added effect on relic sword does not give you hate. The WS is not critical or give you double damage on melee swings like Empyrean sword is. To be a tank you need to keep hate and take damage well, not just take damage like you pointed out. Plus I can say I take 0 damage from thunder V because WHMs have a nice bar spell after effect. ( why are you getting hit by thunder V? I never seen anyone get hit with single target spells, sincee afterall you have mnk/nin, thf/nin or nin/war for tank)

I hope SE makes aegis and PLD better and effective to play Lutschfactor but that is not the case right now. I can say I can kill XXX in abyssea with 12 DNC but how effective is that?
