    No, dont get me wrong.... by the other hand... im very aware WAR is likely the current Tank for everything. while PLDs are cryin out they should be the main indescutible Tanks for everything.... why there should be only 1 single tank for everything? yes i know every job has their own role, but think about this, if there is multiple kinds of Damage dealers, and you see people is already askin also for diferent kinds of mages..... why not also have diferent kind of Tanks? why have to be always only 1 that be the meat shield style, why not diferent styles of tankin for diferent battle scenarios? relly only on meat shield tanking gets monotone over time, doesnt matters if you just change the rol from one job to other and still be same style of tanking...

    And dont confuse what im asking, WAR or PLD , both are just meat shields.... what im asking is for diferent style of tankin other than beign meat shield.... by adding evasive tanking, or counter bstriker, or magical tanker for non melee monsters (such like kiting or ranged attack style fight).

    I didn't think PLD wanted to be the undisputed tank. they just wanted to not lose the popularity contest 19 times out of 20 to WAR.

    War can hold hate better because their native DPS > enmity gear + heals

    WAR has better survivability because they have huge resist potential and vastly superior defense /HP ratings. This still doesnt make sense to me.

    And don't get me started on how a GLA > PLD in most combat situations... They seriously have some work to do on the job.
