    Pug - 50% tank (Higher evasiveness, still lots of HP)
    Lnc - 30% tank (only because they can wear defensive armor and can parry)
    Arc - 10% tank (lighter armors, weapon cant parry, but also the highest damage of the DoW classes)

    Lnc can only tank if it steals skills from the top 2 and has their R36 affinity skill, without doing that, it is DPS.

    Gld + Mrd skills or Mrd + Gld skills = perfect tanks.
    Likewise, GLA has to mooch skills from other jobs to be more than average. Doesn't matter which way you wear a shoe. It's still a shoe. And those percentages are way off the mark.

    And not even all the skills. The most both definitely need are the provokes (Provoke, Taunt, Disorient and Accomplice) and Intimidate as a trait. Other than that they're mostly free to use their own class skills for the most part. Both Gladiator and Marauder have a decent number of native enmity generating abilities.

    Honestly I'd say:

    Marauder = Multi-target tank
    Gladiator = Single target tank

    It doesn't have too mooch as much as the other classes have to mooch. You can live on without skills from pug for tanking, but Mrd and Gla both get a lot of tanking skills, Gla however is more up there because it can use War drum and warmonger. Mrd can only use warmonger. The fact that Gla can make use of shield defense skill and threat skills (Outmanuver, Aegis Boon, Deflection, War Drum) is what makes it both capable of grabbing multiple targets and reducing damage from mutiple targets. Sure Mrd can full swing stuff and gain additional threat while steadfast is active, but they have to have good positioning as welll to hit everything too.

    I correct myself, Accomplice is always good to have.
