Most popular tank at endgame

[Sarcatica]

You can't really rely on FFlogs to showcase the most popular tank played though. There are quite a good amount of players who don't even upload anything at all.

There was a census done by SE iirc back in 3.0 or something, PLD was by far the most popular tank and I would expect the same should SE decides to give out the data.

PLD is the easiest tank to play, just like how majority of healers stick to WHM.

Oh nice thanks for the link, fun stats to look at!

The gender distribution depending of the location is kind of surprising for me, I did not expect such differences, EU and NA are like switched stats O.O.


Anyway back on topic, the data from the link directly answers the OP, if not just missing the 2016 update.

As for myself, I don't tank, as in I don't tank Duties, even I still level up tank classes.
But if I decided to, I would use the PLD because I like how the skills works. Not only I don't like the WAR gameplay much but I really dislike his animations for myself.
