Even "I take less damage on PLD" doesn't cut it. You have to show that you're measurably more efficient in a party than a WAR tank, and it just isn't true right now.
Meh. I don't care that much. Eventually, you'll understand what I mean. Self-heal... yeah it would be nice if I never needed WHM again, but just because I need a WHM to keep me alive doesn't mean that PLD is not a better tank than WAR. The whole point of Tanking to to keep the mob away from the other party members so they can DPS freely. Just because WAR is a better DPS than PLD does not make it the better tank. WAR is sloooooow to get hate and it's harder to keep hate on WAR.

On PLD I have a huge hate boost every 20 seconds. And even though I don't have a huge DPS number myself, Defense Down boosts the DPS of the entire party.

Btw can someone tell me what the party members receive for cures with Divine Veil on? I'm still looking for that information.
