Pld was the first tank I levelled. With the exception of toto rak, war was easier till 40 but then it flipped. Then war was the red headed step child, pld is suddenly easier to keep up and with more, stronger cooldowns.

Either way, just do it. At 50 it won't matter who got the tank stance first, you'll still have it in any content after that.

So who would want to level it? People who wanna play pld.
