    - They made tank enmity a total joke so it takes a DPS being a jerk and going unreasonably hard on a single target while a tank ignores it to pull hate.

    - While you can upgrade the PLD Sword before the Shield or vice versa in the ATMA>Animus stage, the answer is generally, no. You cannot complete a relic quest for just your Sword, before moving to the next step both must have undergone the transformation to the previous.

    He said he played pld, which everyone knows how awful aggro is for a pld in low-levels. War, starring aggro is strong, pld, not so much. We don't even get a proper tank stance until 40, by which time dps have already gotten hard hitting skills. So, no extra aggro multipliers, doing stupid low damage, and dps hitting harder than ever, low level for pld is not a joke. Post-50, unless it's a large pull I don't need a tank stance as either pld or war.

    And onto the real topic, marking overall is useless, if you want to do, I don't say anything and go after the lowest number. I never marked, just because I know, most of the time, dps don't care. I've marked before, and a bard decided to attack the only unmarked mob, I even started attacking it once I saw the health dropping. The beard promptly switched targets. Oh, and nins, don't even get me started. It seems like every non wants to tank at least one mob per pull. They don't even care. It's ridiculous.

    I really hope SE changes Sword and Shield Oath places when expansion comes to help new lowbie PLD's while also adding enmity removal to SwO to make OT:ing more enjoyable(unless they give us proper OT combo), its still boggles me why PLD gets DPS stance before tanking stance.

    This would remove MTing in SwO completely and it wouldn't actually change anything, you should basically be spamming RoH after a courtesy Fracture + RB anyway.
