PLD tanking every primal

[Alerith]

This isn't 1.0 anymore... MRDs really don't do that much damage anymore.

PLD simply fits the tank image better, so they use it for trailers. That isn't to say MRD/WAR isn't a fine tank.

This is exactly it.

Speaking as a PLD main, WAR does just fine as a tank as well. That being said, PLD will always be superior.

No I love war but frankly when playing it I feel the need to end the battle through the brute strength they have no focus my attention on gaining hate and provoking which can cost the battle mass amounts of damage over the course of the battle. More damage = less time spent in battle which in turn means less damage the PLD has to take which in turn means less stress on WHM. Simple formula that works every time.

WAR doesn't deal much more damage than PLD and they deal vastly inferior damage to actual DD classes like DRG and MNK.

If you're focusing on DD'ing as WAR, you are costing your group time and resources.
