Tank End Game

[Poosammich]

Was talking about this last night... PLD in XIV is not PLD from XI.... In XI paladins got Cure II, and maybe more I think, but they could actually heal themselves for a reasonable amount in a pinch, however in XIV your Cure will only hit for about 250.... Out of 6k+ hp 250 isn't even marginal... That said, the differences in a nutshell for me are PLD is a mitigation tank while WAR is a sponge. WAR has the HP to soak up dmg whereas a PLD wants to minimize the dmg instead of soak it. IMO though WAR's have the upper hand in tanking multiples(Overpower), and PLD has the upper hand when tanking single target in terms of enmity generation. But in reality as already mentioned tanks currently are in a pretty good place in XIV... Pretty close all in, other than the simple fact that overpower is overpowered <- XD

Enmity generation isn't even an issue anymore.
