Guess that Tank love!

[Yukiko]

I still wonder what makes drk different from war?
We have a def tank, pld
We have an off tank, war
And what will drk become? Maybe a support tank (or anti mage tank?)
Please dont make him to a war with mag attacks... we dont need 2 off tanks!

Why is WAR an off tank? Both PLD and WAR are capable at taking the MT slot.

By reading lore, and i wonder how war can use hallowed ground... How would you explain that in most raids pld are maintanks?
I never said you can not play maintank with war, the design is just not made for him to DEFEND he is blessed with large life and some other attack skills to counter the loss of defending skills...
Then, pld is using a big Shield that should give you some clue. drk does not have a shield either but a 2 handed sword, nice compared to a 2 handed axe... *sigh*

Ask Cecil.

PLD > DRK all day and twice on Tuesday.

Probably because people will take any tank that have the smallest advantage because it will me them clear a turn successfully. Wasn't there a point where people wanted warriors as MT?

Honestly the fact that it has a shield makes me like it.

I like shields.

Me too. I started off as paladin and it was so boring to level and it only got better at level cap. I levelled warrior and it was so better and much more interesting to play. I suppose my main job is WHM now but still have some love for my paladin.

It depends on the new skills and how they play at endgame, but I think the first 3 months we will see a alot of Dark Knights, both players who are new and old to tanking will take the Dark Knight for a test run. Since we have not played Dark Knight yet, there might be a chance that Dark Knight is as boring as Paladin.

1. Dark Knight
2. Warrior
3. Paladin.
