New to PVP and have a Meta Question

If there had to be a tank hierarchy it would probably look something like MRD > PLD > WAR > GLD. MRD's cross class mixed with it's base skills really outshines everything else due to the ridiculous amount of burst it can do. PLD is a good tank, has good utility due to cover and Testudo and a pretty great burst as well with 2 extra skills off GCD compared to MRD but in such a small fast competition as wolves den it's really a DPS race which means MRD will usually outshine PLD due to the ridiculous amount of attack buffs they can all stack at once without anyone being able to reliably debuff them in this game as of now.

I disagree with this. It's not a DPS race on who can deal more damage faster. It's a DPS race on who can kill the healer first. And I don't think that there's any DPS skill that can kill a healer faster than Shield Bash.
