THM is a better tank than any meleer on every mob, and a better tank than gladiator on every NM because unlike GLA it actually does damage with that party slot.

I dunno. I think a lot of marauders and pugs who think their class can tank are under a placebo affect simply because their abilities tell them they can. No one actually guaranteed them that those abilities actually made them successes at it.

As a healer of any kind of tank, honestly there's gladiator...and pug mrd lnc...you're all about the same. Pug is a blood tanker who thinks they can evade. Mrd is a DD who thinks they can tank. Lnc at least has class-only 30 second enhancers. Rotating those to keep hate, you KNOW the mob's not moving, because no one can

life surge ferocity taunt raging strike hawk's eye speed surge provoke lifesurge....

like a lancer.

Really at any piddlydink content that any pug or mrd would be allowed to tank, lancer is probably a better tank. Again, because their damage mitigation suffices and they have two extra 30 second enmity-enhancers that no other job has.
