PUP can tank that's true but they can also DD with pet ranger but the damage is not good enough. SMN doing 99,999 dmg and they can summon as many pet as they want as long as they have MP.

I suppose you didn't know Blue Mage can tank too and they do tons of damage. They can fight Avatar on VD with the help of trust. I am a master pup and I can't fight avatar on VD even with trust. If somehow PUP use overdrive and manage to kill avatar by luck but I'm sure it won't be less than 3 minute. However, I can do that with Blue mage 3 minute or less.

I would prefer Pld and Run tank so PUP have other rolls in pt and if their no pld or run in sight than sure why not PUP can tank. I don't want to see any pet job nerf but I like to see improvement. If they keep thing as is and not improve other job along the way than SMN will be King of FFXI master of damage 99,999. In fact, it be so popular and i too might be a smn. Now that's not all smn can 4x or 5x 99,999 Astral Conduit can be done in less than 20 second. At this moment SMN is officially KING of FFXI. Beast master goodbye rest in piece... I'm sure it's their dream too to do 99,999 dmg during unleash. :/ SE need to make Warrior and Samurai awesome again.
