Thanks for the translations.

Interesting to note they want MRD to be a DD when they have one of the finest current tanking abilities, an amazing HP generating ability and a few enmity generating abilities.

They said that Ninja is DD in ffxi... but every one used it as tank

True, but that happened because of people subbing WAR for provoke, otherwise it doesnt have much that makes it tank like. MRD has lots of things that it is built with that makes it tank-like.

Having shadows doesn't make you a tank. It protects you from hits, but every time a monster hit a shadow you lose a bit of enmity.

But we can still keep enemy hate on us...
At least I did.

p.s: true to be told I stop playing ffxi before they remove 75 cap,
so I don't know how ninja play right now.

It didn't do that initially... they added the enmity loss a couple of years after ninja had been out, when they realized that ninja's could bypass hits with no enmity penalty.

Whereas paladins who took hits would slowly shed enmity based on the damage they were taking.

For quite some time good ninjas could get crazy enmity and after a certain point all they had to worry about was not getting hit.
