Though, w/ the number of rune fencer abilities pld can get from /run now, it probably is better tank. hard to quantify probably, so I'm not really sure.

They're pretty even to the point it can really be down to those 2 JAs and personal taste after that, run has a better handle on elemental damage still but plds not that far behind, between rampart changes, majesty opening up a utility role, and blocking being a more reliable form of phys mitigation they can both fill each others shoes without much issue. And thats before taking into account sub job abilities

i only play RUN now if we're doing a mage setup. some out of the box, random places where RUN is preferable (like OFA on astral flow or something) but yeah. PLD gained a lot of its lost ground back with Majesty, gear upgrades, and master levels.

i think I also still prefer RUN for most of the odyssey bosses, especially ***like Arebati

How do folks feel about ML45+ PLD

I think we could have had more ML45 Plds if Crawlers Nest Aoe wasn't nerfed. Luckily a whole bunch of Pld's got on that train and got to 40+ but might be short the last couple levels.

So ML 45+ Pld is RARE.

I have 41 ML from those days but there's no way I will ever get 45 since no aoe except if I just camp Dho gates for an eternity.

How many of you here have 45 ML Pld that are commenting?

PS. Anything ML 45 and particularly /run is a beast.

Just go Run/blu. Best of both worlds.

Inferior tank that's only useful for Rayke.... Facts.

Your point is taken though. The penis envy for RUN in the PLD forum is palatable.

Wow.. that's a bit presumptive. I've yet to do any content tanking next to a run that can match me. Every PLD I've helped get from zero to hero, the dedicated players anyway, has gone on to be great tanks in their own right. I give the main RUN in my ls a hard time constantly for the simple fact that he cant pull hate off me, nor can he survive half the insane pulls that I do in Dyna.

The full AH in Windy, nearly half the top floor in Jeuno, the entire consulate area in Jeuno... He falls over, I dont.

Maybe spamming Atonement is considered cheating on the Disjoined? IDK. I want that mob looking at me even when all the DDs get hate capped.

Now if only SE would fix the Empy body...

Why? I said PLD > RUN for most tanking situations. Sounds like you agree.

A good RUN can handle a full fountain pull in Jeuno with a decent healer. I've seen it done on more than one occasion. Your RUN friend just sounds bad...

I don’t believe the PLD Empy body bug was ever addressed/fixed? It got a maxed out PLD insta-killed afew times in last month’s Yagudo Ambuscade. This is an NM I have no trouble face-tanking on SAM, but pulls 3k+ TP moves out of thin air with Garuda very much dead? Body’s still bugged lol.

After alerting him to that bug he switched to Sakpata and no more issues for the next two hours.

Im still thinking its a case of not being at or near capped enmity its a damage increase, not a damage minus percentage. it's the only thing that makes sense.

Shouldnt be hard to test that, just wear sakpata/etc until you cap hate then swap over to emp and then tp feed for a bit, at least from what i recall it was TP moves that were experiencing the odd spikes
