Going to main a tank job for SB need some advice

[Surake]

You want advice? Dont do it. With all the nerfs you gonna be dissapointed. The Battlefield will be flooded with Paladins now.

Care to elaborate?

Don't roll paladin or tank at all?

Of which we are not even sure about if any of the three tanks will fall behind yet.

I think he meant don't base your choice on the flavor of the month and xpac/patch rumors/hysteria. Playing a tank is fine, but really, go with the flavor of tank you simply think is coolest...because even with all the number crunching in Spreadsheet Fantasy XIV: Spreadsheets Reborn, where WAR will "suck" because of some percentile difference in one rotation or another, the tank jobs are not that far off from each other. They just aren't. So it's your main, your subscription and your playtime. Spend it with a job/race/look you prefer most, not what Rumor Central tells you is your best FotM play this minute.

If sword/board meat-shieldy play and look/feel is you, then sure, make a PLD. Just don't make one because you think the other two "won't get groups." They will, guaranteed. Their queue times will be instant, guaranteed. So you play what you like looking at and have fun with. Period.
