Tanking with Mrd

Since I started playing in May, I haven't had any reason to join or start a pt unless it was for one of the raids. Now that we have Ifrit i'm trying to learn how to properly tank with my Mrd so i can avoid costing my LS the fight. So can any experienced Mrd tell what the best setup for tanking and how to properly tank a mob? Any help would be great!

After taking a look at what classes you have leveled I'm going to have to say that you wont make an effective tank as a marauder just yet. While it is an amazing tank you need to have the appropriate skills and traits to supplement marauder's high dps. While you'll be able to hold aggro nearly as well as a gladiator with just a well geared R50 Mrd, you'll eat much much more damage then they would.

Here are some abilities and traits you should set your sights on:
Sentinel- (Gladiator)
Rampart II- (Gladiator)
Provoke II- (Gladiator)
Obsess II- (Gladiator)
Cadence- (Gladiator)
Tempered Will- (Gladiator)
Second Wind II- (Pugilist)
Featherfoot II- (Pugilist)
Taunt II- (Pugilist)
Accomplice- (Pugilist)
Diversion- (Lancer)
Invigorate II- (Lancer)
Ferocity II- (Lancer)
Keen Flurry- (Lancer)
Raging Strike II- (Archer)
Cure III- (Conjurer)
Sacrifice III- (Thaumaturge)
Punishing Barbs- (Thaumaturge)
Contagion- (Thaumaturge)
Bloodbath II- (Marauder)
Foresight II- (Marauder)
Fracture II- (Marauder)
Defender II- (Marauder)
Skull Sunder II- (Marauder)
Storms Path- (Marauder)
Maim- (Marauder)
Murderous Intent- (Marauder)
Disorient

Traits:
Swordmanship- (Gladiator)
Prime Conditioning- (Pugilist)
Fleet of Foot- (Lancer)
Intimidation- (Marauder)
Fast Cast- (Conjurer)

While you don't necessarily need every one of the actions and traits that I listed, every one of them has some use while tanking so the more you have the better off you will be.

Why no emulate?

Because emulate is sadly no longer as efficient as it used to be....if not efficient at all now.
