Where the Meta/Paradigm Problem Applies

[Syzygian]

The reason it's being made into a big deal now is because you're seeing people clear content with non-PLD MTs, and the assumption is that it's entirely a dps vs. mitigation issue, rather than personal preference on the part of the tank.

Which is funny because the groups that are bringing a PLD + other tank are shooting themselves in the foot on these DPS checks by making the PLD MT. There's not a composition of tanks in the game right now in which it is DPS efficient for the PLD to MT. Its OT damage is not too far behind the other tanks while its MT damage is lightyears below both.
