Next Tank Job?

[Justuas]

snip

Souveran body has enmity+ on it. That's the main reason it's better. You can also get more -dt with 2 or more souveran pieces.

Also since war can use both, I suppose WAR can tank too and is in league with PLD

War isn't used in tanking either anymore. What makes pld better is it's abilities and (job spesific) gear.

Defense Sets

Every job needs defense sets in case of tank losing hate or seeing high dmg aoe attack about to execute.

Also this guide is over a year old

Don't blame me. Some guides are out of date because OPs stop updating them.

enmity set

Tanking trash mobs? For content that don't need main tank? If you read the top you see "Samurais are considered one of the big three in the current end game in regards to DDs". You can't dd while tanking, excluding hybrid sets. You'd be wasting sam's dd potential.

Give me an example of SAM tanking.

*gives examples*

No, not something thats outdated, and no longer "current".

by this logic, all of FFXI is out of date and not an example at all.

Every update/patch/expansion to an MMO can drastically change what is or isnt normal/accepted, and so forth. (FFXI being the most extreme example, where they actually try to enforce certain jobs into tanking now, when the original developers said they didnt want any single job tanking, but that everyone should work on distributing the dmg among eachother. The new Devs have a different idea of where they wanted to take the game after the prior devs.)

His point still stands to your original question. SAM was a capable tank at various points in the history of XI.

Aka, "show an example of SAM tanking" not "show an example of a modern game, with the most up to date patch, where SAM tanks".
Dont shift the goal post, and fail to give a counter argument when you havent actually addressed that he succeeded. (Half of the counter arguments you tried to make, didnt even follow your own logic, as he demonstrated in his last post.)
