Actually i misread your original post and thought it mention something about just having a pld in the party to take a certain amount of dmg from each person that take dmg (I know my apology for that)

But now we on a whole different thing, is this would not only break pld, but would eliminate any control in battle. Although Enmity and survivability in aby may not be a problem as long as you keep hate off the mages. Outside aby this would have dire effects o not only pld but other jobs as well. For example, thf, they are suppose to be able to control over where hate is going, with this JT won't need it, just have a pld stand in front of the one with hate and no problem, tank won't even have to use anything else and they can tank.
