Lets Talk PLD Add Tanking

[Jayrune]

Go to your grand company and upgrade your level 35 weapon to the level 40 one. Everything will generate much more enmity, including Flash.

I think this is more important than many tanks currently realize. I have read stories of tanks succeeding and other stories of them failing while using both of the methods described in the OP, so i suspect that both are actually viable tactics and the third factor of the main hand weapon is the real determinant. All enmity generating actions are directly dependent on your main hand weapon so if it is not up-to-date it greatly reduces your ability to hold hate from a dps who has an up-to-date weapon, regardless of the specific tactics you are using.
