I had a set with a cor friend, me being rdm, and we just made the party w/o tank fighting colibri from 37 on East Ronfaure and moving to Toau at 55.

Anyways, i'll love to see another tank job with another mechanic, like NIN, but not using shadows, i don't know how, but having low defense but another tools to keep on. Paladin should be the tank of the light, maybe dark knight can be a tank too, using his dark magic to drain HP and using powerful WS that drain mob HP.
I dont think PLD should be the only tank but it should be the main tank. He is limited to this role in usefulness - its not like you can be like oh we need a decent healer lets take the PLD, he was only ok enough to sort of take care of himself. Literally everyone was better at his sub roles then him, so his only main role - tanking..

In a matter of balance, he should be the star.

"I suck at everything but tanking"

and then someone says its logical to make some scenarios where another job is better them him? ..worst logic ever.

sub tanks, sure even a whm can sub tank load them up with stoneskin and phalanx lol.
