    That's more an attempt to sidestep the problem instead of solve it. Not to mention that having a "best" tank should not be the goal. Multiple tank classes are a good thing. Just like multiple healers.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)

    Exactly why we have two healing classes.

    I'm just saying Pld has their own niche, but SE doesn't provide content for that niche.

    There's that, but content like the Primals should be that niche shouldn't it, single mob single tank, where PLD supposedly should shine, but nope it's WAR content, no DRGs MNKs or PLDs allowed lol

    I don't really get why Pld should shine in single mob content. And the situation I described can be multi mob content too.

    My point was just that, WARs niche seems to be any tanking situation where dmg output serves a purpose, unless they plan to make some content where you need to NOT kill things there is no tanking niche where PLD can shine, so WAR shouldn't have a niche that's pushing PLD out of the game.

    It's really not too relevant just yet, and the arguments will wait(at least on my part) until after the upcoming changes are in place and we can see if it makes PLD "as good" in the present content as a WAR.
