Is MRD good enough ?

[Elherm]

Am just wondering if MRD is a good tanking role in hard dngs and hard primals, i've been through some dngs and i know it requires more heals from healers to sustain MRD HP, and GLD is good in tanking single targets mobs. My question "Is Mrd good enough to tank Hard primals or not"? Thanks in advance

MRD is just fine, its meant to be a offtank later on to grab adds quickly. Just mark which mobs you want sleep on and turn the others away from it so overpower doesnt wake em up

No it's not meant to be an off tank later on.

I don't know if people are basing this off old data but WAR/MRD has been buffed while PLD has been nerfed to make them on par.

I can tank anything a PLD can easily.

It boils down to player skill. If you're good at MRD/WAR you can do anything a PLD can do. They have a higher skill cap then PLD does and take practice. If you can't tank the same things a PLD can as a WAR....it's not the class....it's you.

Warrior can tank (a verb), but it's not a tank (a noun).

WAR will sponge MP, it is not built for long fights

When the healer is out of ether/MP the warrior will die (so will ill-equipped PLDs)

To some extent a PLD is invincible

I don't agree with any of this.

Warrior can tank, but it's not a tank? I tank instances/primals just as well if not better than paladins in equal gear.

A non bad warrior will know how to time his CDs, and will last in fights longer than paladins. We can heal for 2.5k+ hp in matter of seconds, incase we can't get heals.

When the healer is out of MP, THE PALADIN will die too. Warriors can still heal themselves just enough so that the healer can recoup.

To sum this all up, no Paladins are not invincible. Warriors are tanks and can do whatever a paladin can do, if not better.

Imagine a rock.

There is a snake trapped underneath this rock.

Is there anything else underneath the rock?

If the warrior moves the round rock, the warrior is bitten, but finds a gold ring, gives it to a doctor, and is cured.

If the paladin flips the flat rock over and frees the snake, it bites no one and he finds nothing.

Who is more lucky?

What are you doing against a dozen weak mobs anyway. If they're awake, it's FATE, who cares.

No alliance in their right mind will have a dozen dynamis-ready mobs being awoke by a fool with an axe.

This is stupid. There is very little room for player skill as far as tanking goes in this game. WAR doesnt' take any more/less skill than a PLD. Which is to say, not alot.

This simply isn't true. Positioning is very important when tanking with MRD/WAR. CD usage is more important to a MRD then a PLD. the skill cap is pretty low for tanks in this game but MRD does require more.
