Questions about PLD vs. WAR tanking

[Ringabell]

@OP

I would suggest sticking with the BLM for a bit now that you have unlocked it. You are in desperate need of a new perspective and greater understanding of how the mechanics of the game work. What the BLM initially did was fine and good play (though obviously his attitude could use work). You need to understand what it is like to play other classes as your recommendations and concerns are completely out of whack with how the community will expect you to play later on.

I don't say this with the intention of insulting. I mean it as very real advice. You aren't ready to tank this game yet, at least not until you understand the methods and tactics that the community have developed to beat the various fights. Sleep is never used (besides WP gimmick runs), personally I call out BLM's that use it in dungeons and tell them to stop slacking and aoe more. You criticize him for not using convert, which convert is a level 30 skill with Halatali being a level 23 max dungeon. He couldn't even use it. Everything you said in your first post just showed how little you actually know about the game.

As for how to deal with aoe? Both PLD and WAR have all the tools they need at all levels to perform their job. Granted it sucks that PLD is stuck with flash/riot spam on packs but it does work even against overnuking BLM's when used properly and sufficiently, at all levels. Flash yourself dry at the start then do 2-3 riots per flash depending on how hate is looking.

OP likely meant "Transpose" as he said:

"I mean, now all I have left to unlock is BLM, and I know how to do that rotations between Astral Fire and Umbral Ice with converting to regain lost MP."
