    Why would WAR be a worse MT than DRK? WAR has better damage, better mitigation, and offers better party support than DRK while main tanking.

    Why would PLD be a worse OT than DRK? PLD has similar damage output to DRK, exceeding it after about 2 minutes of fighting, and offers far better party support than DRK while off tanking.

    I'm having an incredibly hard time trying to figure out what your reasoning is for either of these claims, because DRK offers absolutely nothing of value that these tanks aren't capable of doing better. The argument might be made that DRK has slightly better magical mitigation than the other tanks, but not even close to an extent that might leave them wanting.

    In cases of WAR/WAR, you'll still far better damage than any combination involving DRK with just about the same utility; and in cases of PLD/PLD, the damage would be similar to any combination involving DRK, but with slightly better sustain and far more party utility.
