    Just going to speak from an objective view here, but I think personally that people just rely so heavily on Provoke that they aren't willing to try other things. Hence why others may say PLD/NIN is hard to tank with.

    I'm sure it's not hard - if people would just freakin try >.> Anyone with half a brain can hold hate, however, it takes a good tank to be able to change things around and adapt to a situation with what you're given under the circumstances. Same basic principle being RDM

    That was an intelligent post, I salute you.

    A PLD/NIN with max enmity, who flashes/uses all his abilities and spams cure iv should almost NEVER lose hate to anyone. It requires an extra bard than a ninja would need, but from everything we've seen, the hate benefit is noticeable between a pld/nin and a nin/war. I'm not saying no other tank is good, we've just found pld/nin to be the most viable.

    Theoretically couldn't you also spam the Elemental wheel (ichi version >.>) for a little extra? Since it doesn't cost MP and I'm guessing there are moments where you could cast this. Of course I've never seen PLD/NIN in action, so what do I know

    On the side note, particularly directed towards RDM I guess, have people been getting LESS nuke resists lately? I have a good hunk of INT, but not nearly as much as I'd prefer of course, but going through Dyna-Sandy earlier this week (still wish I had a parser) I think the majority of the time I was nuking and not getting major resists o.o Slight resists here and there, taking some 600dmg spells down to high 400s mid 500s (not that I'm complaining), granted I had some major resists [inevitable], but that was just freaky.

    I guess but I don't think the entire elemental wheel is as much hate as one cure iv.

    I remember on the Nidhogg that dropped Edwardtheblack's m.body....we all were pld/nin and most of us were just playing around with the ichi spells. It helps, but not as much as just using flash/ja/cure IV does. You may also get lucky and stick it like most of us did lol....
    Basically, it'd be more efficient to use actual PLD skills rather than spend 5-8 seconds? (idk the exact time) casting a ninjutsu spell.

    Yeah I doubt it does as well, was more or less a suggestion to the if/when scenario when you run out of MP >.> Macro in lightstaff for more HP healed? As long as shadows are up you should be able to avoid it long enough to get Earth/Terra staff back on :3

    I don't think macroing a piece of gear specifically for cures as a tank is the smartest thing to do. You'll blink and the whms will get boned. That and it sounds like too much work amidst the intense and laggy battle.

    the ONLY way to tank on pld/nin is to have 300m in gearz + rare/ex items like resentment cape, CoP ring, AF2, aegis
    and under the rare occasion you are terrored or don't have shadows, you swap on yur full koenig+defending ring so you don't lose as much hate when hit

    ONLY THEN IS IT POSSIBLE

    j/k man, we are lions.

    I don't think I'd ever use resentment cape over gigant mantle on pld, probably would on nin though.
