Tip 1: Eat tanking or ACC food.

Tip 2: Listen to this while tanking -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkjK82f7zIg (lol)

Gear:

If you have full HDL set
you don't need to use slots (ring, earrings, bracelets, shield) for more ENM.
use the slots for more MND, HP or STR.
If not use all ENM gear possible.

Shield:
If you have full HDL set don't use Thormoen's or any high block rate shield. Blocking does not
make u a better tank, Healers will spam overcure u anyways. Blocking and taking less damage
isn't really a big deal.
Use shields with STR/MND/ACC/ATK or somethin' like Canopus Shield (+2 STR),
Vintage Kite shield +1 (+5 MND) or even Ul'dahn Scutum (+4 VIT)...
If not use Thormoen's.

That's all..
It is all in your skills to be a good tank on PLD.
Stop bitchin' about PLD not being a good tank if u havent given it the time needed
to actually get good at it.
If you don't really know what u talking about stop talking, you missinform people that might
actually be interrested in being a PLD tank.

THAT IS ALL FOLKS!
I would generally agree with this but it depends.

First of all, I would use spirits alot earlier.

Secondly, Flat blade combo is practically useless on Ifrit and Chimera, so I wont even use it there.

I also save sentinel for my spirits and goring combo. That's about it
