pld and nin, both great tanks, just in different ways. And as for gods, some need pld more, some needs nin more. no one is better then another one. Every job has it's use in this game. Just depends on what the party needs.

Many people say drg suck in pt, but as a thf (or jobs who sub thf) in a exp party, drg is our best friend. High jump lost drg's 50% hate, while super jump lost 100% hate. After level 66, drg can do Light SC with thf and drk. Pt setup with nin, drg, thf, drk, rdm, blm is not bad. When I first had that party, I thought oh crap, 4 melee and 2 mages, and have a nin tank, gonna be hard to hold hate for the nin. But I had a good drg in party, he knows what he is doing, drg/sam, he take turn SC with me and drk. blm MB light, and nin have no problem holding hate. Because after drg high jump or super jump, the hate goes back to the nin (yes, I know some nin does suck, but that has nothing to do with the job, it is the player that sucks) if drg is out of jump, drk can SATA off me(yes, thf can tank with nin sub as long as can hold hate), or I'll just TA the nin.
That party was one of the best pt I had.

what I want to say is, player's skill is more important, sometimes you are lucky, you'll get a good nin or pld. If you unlucky, you get a bad tank. It is all luck, you really can't use that one suck player to say... "nin better then pld" or "pld better then nin"

hon no offence this wasnt a which tank is better discussion, it was what is needed for CoP discussion.... as for tanks and parties though. they all vary. a good leader knows how to build a party. a bad one doesnt. the best parties have complementing abilities and mele's. complementing abilities make best parties. knowing which jobs complement each other. not just which ones SC together, make parties that you like to remember.

aannyy wwaayy......back on topic, I read about the interview, and the talk about the solo content sounded nice, and the expansion overall looks like it will be nice.

So... there's this naming rule that's sort of popped up that any party that runs through mobs quickly by going off the deep end on one tactic is a "burn" party... I wonder if we'll be seeing "Mosh-burn" parties forming up if Dancer becomes a job?
