You will pull your hairs less often playing a MRD than a PLD. At least if your other 3 teammates are total shit house you can still pull a win, PLD can't do that. However, against coordinated team aka BLM + PLD. Killing stuff is superbly easy, BLM Sleeps goes to casting PLD sits to wait for a Purify.
