How to Build a PLD, needing tips plz.

Your logic is somewhat flawed Ace. While you may have the capability to take the brunt of the hit from 100 Tonze, you also have to consider that once he gets to 50% CC starts to spam moves back-to-back which leave alot of room potential hazards to occur like Animal Instinct, Eye of the Beholder, etc. When he's on his ass that's 10-15 seconds he's not spamming those potential moves (even longer if you get a good stun on him), meaning WHM's don't have to waste MP to help heal and can help nuke to speed up the kill, close-ranged DD's can freely go all out w/o taking a risk, and you have a short breathing period to heal, buff, or DD yourself especially if your defensive abilities are on cooldown, it's also the perfect opportunity to throw out a Riot Blade combo to land Defense Down and help your DD's floor him faster.

I just overall don't see the benefit of trying to take it head on when you make it that much easier on yourself and your party to NOT get hit by it.
