Or something like that. I don't have either pld or nin above 50.

Btw i don't know how much evasion you can stack on thf, 100 sounded like a lot but i'm not sure!
A mob like that would be better tanked by a DRK, MNK, or RDM long, long, long before a Paladin. Defense is worthless. Bloodtanking on PLD is worthless. Any "PLD tanking" that involves PLD/WAR is going to be worthless. It's harsh, and I apologize for that, but it's the truth and there's no need to reiterate in detail why bloodtanking is bad every time someone posts about bloodtanking/defense.
