hes got a point there you know. if like cosmic of the tank then play that one. really just situational awareness . all tanks have there own style do things others cant. each 4 man dungeon is different. some monsters hit really harder then others. some have alot abilities popping off at once make you dance around not getting hit, most cases pulling big might be good idea. but in some dungeons must take in situation you find yourself in.I would say maybe try out the tanks in different dungeons to get your answer. Personally, I think all tanks are equally viable in damage alone, especially in 4 man dungeons. But that's just from my own personal experience. Plus, you might end up understanding one tank better than another, so you might be stronger with that tank instead.
- good explaination is this, pulling large groups of bees and 3-4 of them decide fatal sting or bombs. self destruct. there even trash monsters 60+ that use tank busters yes on trash. so good idea kill them first before pulling them in next group cause game give you bad rng both trash monsters do the tank buster lower your health 20% making healer panic heal or worse if your dark knight or gunbreaker use your invur
In truth,
I strongly encourage you to try out all tanks,
The reality it’s that all tanks do a decent amount of damage, though keep in mind we’re designated to have spatial awareness when tanking, timing for skills/defenses, reading your foe’s moves & our damage is to also pressure agroo on you so it won’t direct to the rest of the dps & heals alike.
Consensus may claim which tank may do most dps, yet at the end of the way it’s all about how effective you’ve maintained agroo while keeping yourself alive & the party.
The responsibility for tanking is a noble yet overwhelming trait after all.
PS: In respects to my brothers & sisters tanks from all tank fields



Are you familiar with the term "hits like a wet noodle"? Well, it applies here and the only choice you have is flavor and one of the 4 flavors is shit.
I think everyone knows which one I'm talking about.
Wrong, it has the most damage reduction Cooldowns out of any tank.
Pld is the best solo job for staying alive as tank, but who uses Clemency honestly? Clemency is a busted GCD cast that breaks GCD combos and ruins Requiescat. It's actually the most useless at Main tank for currently having no self heal sustain, Spirits Within being HP based and only having 2 reduction cooldowns.(personally i say go paladin over gunbreaker. cause your not squishy your godlike. healer wipes psst no problem time to carry. no other tank can do this maybe warrior) while doing second highiest damage in the tanks. this job busted broken all ters of play i seen paladins solo boss fights
War is 4th, currently the most useless tank to adapt with any solid comps and lowest damage. It's the most broken MT, that's all it has.
No it's 3rd, certain fights it defeats Pld because of it's extreme Burst Windows that overpowers Plds DPS by a mile during the Rotated burst windows.
GNB is currently the strongest Mitigation tank out of the rest, complete nonsense and has more self heal sustain than a Drk. Paladin can solo heal it's self back up, but again who uses Clemency? It's really terrible lol... War/Drk are the kings at 4 man dungeons. Drk AOE is straight up OP and becomes broken in EW. War is another king for simply being unkillable in mass pulls for a good amount of time.ignore these people its true gunbreaker does most damage but it is by fair squishies of all tanks healers hate you. if you play this job. if really want to play something overpowered then play paladin. gunbreaker only does little less damage then paladin. paladin can pretty much solo every boss in the game without a healer. cause you are the healer. and it gets even more powerful in endwalker. paladin is godteir tanking 4 man dungeons
Still better than Living Dead, and actually you Bolide before you're about to die.

Well, thanks. I do appreciate the responses.
I will try every tank then.
Im actually still not sure which is the best DPS now lol.
I will try warrior next. I don't think I've unlocked DRK


Me.
I'm the tank that does the most damage.
Watch out!
