I see what you mean, but that's why PLD MT / WAR OT exists. WAR MT / WAR OT is for farm content for optimal DPS, if we're talking about FCoB then you should be bringing both tanks, for sure. T9 you may want both for progression, but I think the echo kind of mitigates needing Path/Halone. I also agree that PLD MT is best at our current gear level for T13, it might also be best if it's left that way unless the PLD is somehow able to tank adds in Sword Oath. Kinda curious what the numbers are like for PLD/WAR OT with Dread weapon and Ruby accessories, but I don't know if the people who have access to those weapons have done any testing.
