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.
