Which Tank is Better Off MT?

[Sarcatica]

For MT, DRK gains the most while WAR gains the least.

In normal content, it is normally the best to let DRK MT as much as possible, PLD being the 2nd in priority.

In the best comp, you want WAR to pull first for the most part then at some point DRK takes the aggro. DRK will slowly lose aggro to anyone in a very high tier setup due to minimal aggro management and Grit-less tanking which makes WAR pulling a lot better. PLD doesn't suffer from aggro generation like DRK but that fact that you are bringing PLD instead of DRK is suboptimal due to how PLD is a shittier ver. of DRK. To play DRK at the highest level also demands a great team to work around DRK's weak aggro. When members steal aggro, DRK needs to work much harder to top up aggro which is a total DPS loss. Everyone needs to reduce aggro generation whenever possible.

In a raid situation, there is no MT/OT mostly because you want to squeeze the most value out of the both tanks' CDs while enabling tanking in DPS stance as much as possible. FF14 is different from most mmos due to the DPS meta too which has been present for much longer than you might think.
