PLD 4.0

[Brian_]

But it's a funny reaction coming from you when you specifically said in another topic that PLD should be the only tank that could pass some mitigation checks...

Given that it's you, I'm not surprised that you failed to actually read anything I wrote. In the very next sentence I said that was terrible design and a garbage solution to the current tank imbalance. Funny indeed.

If you bring another DRG, NIN, MNK, etc. you don't gain just the added DPS. You gain their additional utility. You gain another trick attack, a traited mantra, dragon kick, another battle litany, another goad, etc. And, said party wide buffs would scale even higher because the buff is hitting an additional DPS and not a tank. You seem to think that a DRK / WAR is doing damage much more comparable to a DPS class than what is happening in reality. The only thing you lose is Path or Reprisal depending on which co-tank you are dropping.
