At that level there is really so little to base it off. Parties will be slow and dreadful unless you work as a party. So I'll say the person with the most HP at the time is the better tank. Both are horribly tanks if you have zero HP. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 04-17-2007, 10:24 AM | #5 (permalink) | | Alone Oracle of Knowledge Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Boston Posts: 3,145 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 251

if you have a better grip on hate control and have higher defense throughout your armor, then you're a better tank. it sounds like the monk was just being stupid. that tends to happen in the dunes.

At that level range, they both have the same exact hate generating tools, and the DEF difference in gear sets between the two jobs isn't huge -- it's not so big that it can overcome the advantages of a 2-level gap.

Thanked 7x in 7 Posts Gil: 8,442 Bank: 1,526 Total Gil: 9,968 Donate | Re: WAR or MNK The other thing in my mind that moves me toward preferring WAR (or PLD) tanks in the Dunes is the Defense Boost they get at level 10. An extra 10 points of Def is like wearing a second Brass Harness.
But that would almost have been a better test anyway. Who has the up-to-date armor? WHM75, BLU43, DNC47
