Which Tank is Better Off MT?

[aleph_null]

Eh I think even in physical dmg heavy raids so far not a single fight made bringing pld better than drk. The extra healer dps afforded by the extra physical mitigation doesn't outweigh the dps difference between similarly geared drk and pld. As of now drk/war is the optimal composition in every floor of savage despite a9s-a11s tank dmg being mostly physical. Pld MT in physical dmg heavy fights would definitely be easier to heal, but not optimal.

LUL PLD WHM MNK CASTER LUL FeelsBadMan

This game's endgame of endgame (speedrun)is total DPS and that means at instant, PLD isn't brought in. MNK does great DPS but it doesn't do anything else. WHM does fine but AST is just broken (spread balance) and SCH is still your no1 pick for overall healing for more healer DPS, even healers don't want to heal if possible. From FFlogs alone, it just seems that even though a9s has some aoe time, casters are no longer the best thing in speedrun. Hence it becomes a stacking of physical damage classes which BRD also buffing healers' DPS. Tanks and healers become damage engines which is expected. This is also driven by the standard comp enforced by FFlogs (bless kihra).

The current best comp atm is DRK WAR AST SCH DRG NIN BRD MCH in case if you are wondering. Caster is a waste of slot in Creator in the overall scheme.

Ultimately this only applies if you are speedrunning fights, SE from time to time has shown zero interest in balancing stuff for the 1% of the raiding population which is obviously too low of an interest to even do anything about it. This is why you people commenting on meta pick and all that balance shit is just something I can't seem grasp. If your aim is to just clear, the best comp doesn't matter at all. It only applies to people who are competing on speedrun and people who aim for world ranking on raiding. Balance this balance that, more like "MY MAIN IS UNDERPOWERED PLS BUFF, THIS CLASS SO OP PLS NERF" literally in every single thread in disguise.
