    Literally depends on what the player does.

    I've had tanks of all 3 jobs who by my eye seemingly did nothing yet took near 0 damage so i could basically cleric and ignore them.
    and then I've had people on all 3 jobs doing lots of work, dodging and cycling CD's etc but taking a buttload of damage for no reason.

    Couple this with whether the tank utalises their own healing set up or not marks a wide variable on "Hardest" to heal.
    that and i guess your own mind on what constitutes hard healing.

    going by experiences, id personally say PLD, followed by DRK, with WAR being easiest for me

    This. It's the player that makes a job easier or harder, I personally cringe when I see DRK in haukke or level 30-ish content with low level gear because too many times they just throw themselves in without even learning what their moves do or even the basics of tanking. Otherwise? Eh, all jobs are pretty much the same: you can find the good and the bad tank. Or even the tank you see trying hard but keeps getting so much damage you feel genuinely bad for them.

    On the other hand, I met most of the unpleasant/uncaring players tanking either as DRK or WAR, so far I still have to meet a 'why me' paladin
