    It takes more than Flash and Sentinel to tank. WHM is no tank.

    Yeah, it also takes a certain level of skill and understanding of game mechanics. WHM can most certainly tank a few things. Flash, Featherfoot, all those cures, Shield abilities... besides HP and some defense, what makes you think a WHM cannot tank just like a Paladin? I could easily pick out the 5 best abilities to cross-class for such a situation. If CNJ could do it, I believe WHM could do it too.

    All I am saying is I hope that these denotations of job roles are something we can set or customize because it could be the case that a certain job, when played a certain way, can have different applications than SE's intended use.

    Due to HP and Defense. Also lack of hate increasing skills, hate-inducing skill enhancing traits, etc. it will never compare to a PLD or WAR, jobs that are meant to and designed to tank.

    If you want to try to set your WHM up to tank, then go ahead. Point is, it's not meant to and if you're gonna do it anyway than a letter H won't stop you.

    The numbers have more application than the letters. I wouldn't be surprised if they scrapped the letters altogether.
    However, none of us have to sit here and pretend WHM is a tank to argue some point and/or play devil's advocate.
