    You have to be woefully under ilvl compared to DPS or just plain bad to struggle with enmity. Tanks have generous enmity generation skills.
    because pulling hate back off mobs that get flared over and over and over again when you are trying to hold 10-15 of them. Sure, WAR maybe, but PLD? Flash can only do so much.

    going fast is one thing. Speed running is another. Speed running equates to booting anything that isn't optimal set up, ignoring EVERYTHING and just GOGOGO SPAMSPAMSPAM! If anything, speed running burnt me out on the game more than just running at a normal pace. 3~4 extra minutes is NOT going to make or break you.

    They buffed flash. Holding aoe threat on either job is as easy as mashing a single button.

    I tanked dungeons as PLD way alot more than WAR for SR. If you only think Flash is the only AOE enmity generate, then you are dead wrong and playing it wrong.

    And if tank dead so fast, either they forgot or haven't mastered using their buffs yet. PLD does have 4 defense skill buff you know.

    Well with ideal group setup (PLD,WHM,BRD,BLM)you only need HG as no matter how big the pack is it should melt in less than 10sec :P Also if for some reason your BLM gets aggro just toss Cover on him so he can tank rest of it.

    HG will not block damage incurred via cover.
