Tank DPS Ranking prediction.

[wonka11]

Thinking PLD is somehow better than Warrior, either because of their stances (they're statistically unimportant, Defiance and Shield Oath break near par), or that Paladin has Bulwark as an additional CD (since their block is now matched by warrior's parry ability), is ridiculous.

IB is on demand, 20% damage reduction, so instead of having to blow a CD to get a 30% dmg reduction (on a single large hit, maybe two if the duration lasts long enough), warriors have it everytime whenever a big hit is coming, which we all know FFXIV tanking rotations revolved around big, predictable, mitigatable hits. What does that mean? It means good warriors have mitigation when they need it, where they need it, and aren't hampered by the limitations of a long cool down on a blanket duration defensive CD.

This whole garbage about tanking orders and tiers, WAR being the OT, PLD being the MT, needs to go. Its antiquated BS from release that died when 2.1 was released.

Bunch of green, amateur tanks.
