On topic of PLD tanking theres more then 1 way to play PLD sub nin anyone who saids otherwise doesn't know what thier talking about.
1.) Using resist setup and using very high amounts of Enmity(and typically very high build of haste on ground). Focuses on low flash time as major hate tool and getting hit for low numbers.
2.) Moderate Enmity moderate haste no resist and could use a little bit of -magic damage taken / cure potency up. Focuses on Cure as major hate tool.
3.) I am sure theres mixes of playing both of those I describe and more ways to play PLD/NIN.
To get tiamat hitting you about 200-210ish you need a total of about -40% magic damage taken including shell and etc. Nonbuffed, no magic damage take -, and no job traits(whm) it's about 284-290ish normal I think but back on point having Tiamat hit 190-210ish in Air imo would be perfect for keeping good hate btw I play PLD/NIN as 2nd setup type.
