PLD viable for speed runs?

[Judge_Xero]

I'm almost 50 on my PLD and want to start gearing him for end game content. I don't want to jump on the warrior bandwagon because I generally like sword and board more. I hear that PLD has been buffed in recent patches, but I was wondering if they are any good for speed runs now. I know I'd be able to do primals and other content, but I'd like to get in those dungeons and get some darklight gear.

Thanks in advance.

I would think the real question is, "are you ready for Speedruns"?

But really, to answer your question, ideally you will want both PLD and WAR with great gear if you plan to main as a tank.
You can change jobs in the dungeon, so there will be parts where you will want to be PLD, and others where WAR is best.

PLD is definately a valueable resource in the Dungeons though.
