PLD Gear?

[Aceofspades]

Why would you set yourself up for failer?

Soo you say if I complete these pre reqs in your mind to make any adivice I have , lagit, then you will be forced to accept them as such? There is nothing wrong with having standards, but if your going to rage soo hard against somones ideals, you should probably set the standard in wich you can accept said ideals, a bit higher.
Realy? Speed runs and Darnus?

Ok , if YOU say it must be so, then it MUST be so , right? I will get the achivements im my own good time, and I will do it with my current gear set. Great examples for the new tanks in the game btw " you gota have this gear or your a shit tank" get over yourselves.

And I will go even further by saying this, to all new tanks to the game,

Enmity should not be on the top of your priority list, imo. There is one sure thing that defines a tank from anyone else in the party, and its not pulling hate. Tanks were dubed , "tanks", for a reason, they are designed and intended to mitigate damage in such ways no one else in the party can. Holding hate is equally important of an aspect , but between holding hate and mitigating damage, only one of those two aspects can your party support you in. Healers ensure your HP dosent bottom out and can buff you to complement your damage mitigation but ultimatly its the damage you mitigate that defines you as a TANK. If enmity was the only real concern here then MNK tanks would be huge right now.

Stay alive and Keep hate, both rely on eachother to be valid. The party can only help you with one of those.
