Bahamut Fight #1... Quick Question

[Toralyn]

OK, it's time to vent on yet another subject that bothers the fuck out of me.

To all you who think that NIN > PLD, or PLD > NIN, DIE IN A FIRE.

A really big one, please. Tank types are situational for the most part, and that's why both exist in the game. Some things, you take a NIN. Some things, you take a PLD/WAR, or a PLD/NIN. And then even some things, you can take a mix and be ok.

The main issue is, basically, a lot of people just suck at Paladin and don't understand it, or you have an excellent Paladin that is getting no support from his mages. This is why it's looked down upon as a bad tank, and why NIN is seen to be better--it's slightly more self-sufficent than a PLD, still needing support, but not as much. You can run out of MP, but you can't run out of tools (well, hypothetically you wouldn't, but it's possible).

It depends on what your LS started using and prefers in the first place, and what they built their strategies around. Also dependent on your server's first LSes and what they used, too.

I just hate this..... "Paladin is better than Ninja!"; "Ninja is better than Paladin!" bullshit. They're both tanks, they both have their strengths and weaknesses, now shut up and figure out how to teach your people to use them both successfully instead of just going always with NIN only or PLD only.

I wasn't trying to say NIN is better than PLD, geez. Both work great, I personally love co-tanking with a PLD, especially on Jorm and Tiamat. I was just pointing out what a lot of people use now, NIN.

The problem is obviously all these people subbing NIN, because the Ninja job doesn't offer anything good really, since all the higher level ninjutsu can't be gained from a subjob.

NIN does provide some extra AGI though.
