I made a mistake quoting her. I edited my post like 3 times but i missed something, but anyway, no matter what people say, there is a shortage in tanks because of multiple factors. I do believe its boring. I don't care about"knowing" how to play it. Its boring. And on top of that, like many others have said, the way the game is built makes playing as a tank not only boring, but also put too much on the person playing tank. Actually, let me say again, its really just the PLD for me. I was so disappointed in how they made it. Hell it was even hard to maintain hate in the early lvls of the game. Its a joke. If they just added 1 or two more skills. I mean PLD is supposed to be the holy warrior. Give it some more magic. Maybe a different healing spell that can heal, or an esuna like spell, and at least 1 high dmg dealing spell like a holy spell/sword skill. something. To me (my opinion) of all of the classes, i would play PLD last of all.
