So what is PLD good at?

Snip

Actually if the testing over in BG is correct, or the last time I check some months ago, Warrior actually has higher hate modifiers.

Or that. Either way, same result. Lol.

I'm sure this has all been stated, but PLD is great at a lot of things!

It's insanely efficient while being very easy to get the hang of! They make the best main tanks, have a great toolkit, and their synergy with Warrior is fantastic! PLDs are great! I love PLDs, I just hate playing one!

Yeah. I'd take a PLD over a warrior 9 out of 10 times , unless I know the warrior and healer personally and know they know what their doing. Because Warrior is a more "technical" job and healer's have to be use to them. But at their core, their about the same. Can't wait for heavensward though so we can see the new changes though and see where they stand @ LV 60.

There's a grand total of two tanks in the game. How can a healer reach endgame and not have already gotten used to how healing for them differs?

The same way some tanks don't know how to keep hate and don't know how to properly use CD's.

Simple answer: main tanking.

For all the bitching about PLD, it will always be the most-played tanking job in the game.

I will admit, every time I join a DF as my war, and see a pld who expects me to main tank, while he dps's with his cute little enmity combo, it always makes me shake my head a little. pld is often the chosen tank for main tanking. But likewise, I'm struggling to think of any scenario in the game in which pld is better than war as an off tank.

There really isn't one. Defiance being off the GCD combined with how much damage a WAR can do just makes it the ideal OT. PLD's extreme damage mitigation makes it the better MT.

An I in the twilight zone...? War does so much more damage while in tank stance than pld, and pld does more in sword stance. Pld's are better as ot or ideally splitting face time. There's just a plethora of misinformation and blind belligerence when it comes to the pld= mt war=ot situation.
