I love how the original post starts...you want to tank as a PLD ? Be a NIN !

Seriously, PLDs are dead, except for those Empyrean PLDs, how can you take these one as standards ?
Enmity ? Everyone can cap it
Damage taken ? Everyone can withstand this with a good WHM or by being a NIN
Damage Dealt ? Get an Almace and you can compete with poor DDs. You'll be useless with a DD as well-geared as you are.
