    Trying to decide on next Tank class

    I am already working on Warrior and am looking to the future.

    Should I go with Dark Knight or Paladin next and why?

    Make all three whatever you have the most fun playing. Sometimes I think Yoshi and the dev teams want us to have all three and use them on the type of encounter we are busy with. Say there is a super heavy physical DPS with Physical Tank Buster. That would favour a PLD and WAR setup,but then you have the opposite let's say its magic heavy and got tight dps check, then you would bring a war and a dark etc. Just throwing it out there tbh!

    But like IskarJarak said, what ever you enjoy the most is the key point.

    You're gonna need PLD for provoke at least. I recently started playing around with DRK, I don't have much experience with it, but it is fun.

    DRK.

    It took me forever to get PLD to 50 pre HW. The class is extremely boring if your not constantly learning new content with it.

    Yeah when I was looking at the abilities of the 2 classes, PLD seemed more boring but DRK seemed more confusing.

    While that would get me even more familiar with tanking as a WAR, I would like to experience everything FFXIV has to offer.

    Unless you were there since 1.0. Or have a time machine. This wish is a bit too late.
