Is Dnc A Better Tank Than Pld

That hurts ;_;

I know of a (pre fan dance) DNC that used to tank Fafnir regularly for his LS. Would be interesting to know what he has accomplished after all the job adjustments. So despite DNC not being the best possible tank in all situations it certainly is capable of some good tanking if it is geared properly.

The Government should License the right to procreate to people or individuals with a minimum IQ and common sense so that mistakes such as this person never happen.

But then civilization would die out.

True fact.

God that movie sucked so badly lol

You suck!!!

Ironically it just turned ont he TV lol.

I dont think there was a single funny part of that entire movie... lol

edit: except that intro which was like 2m of a 1 1/2 hour or 2h movie....ya it blew lol

Naw your sense of humor just sucks

In order to get all the -PDT for DNC that you are talking about, you're giving up all of your haste for building TP to cure yourself with and real weapons to build your TP with (Auric+OA23/Joyeuse, whichever you prefer). In other words, you still need a considerable amount of assistance with cures (greatly reducing the amount of enmity you can build) since you'll be building next to no TP. So you have the choice between not being able curing yourself and not getting hit for 250+ damage every swing of the mob. That being said, PLD itself is hardly an ideal tank in many if not a majority of situations, anyway. Literally any NM you can land Slow and Elegy (a significant portion of the NM base) on should be tanked by DD/nin if there's any "tanking" going on. As far as out-dding a PLD on DNC against anything with relatively high DEF, a PLD will probably win with with joyeuse (or maybe OA23 Khanda?) and Atonement, since the damage on atonement is static based on enmity while the damage on dancing edge or evisceration are largely dependent on the mob's DEF. Next time if you don't want to get your thread flamed and derailed, don't try to debunk another job's established position in FFXI in the title of your post. Trust me, if DNC were a better tank than PLD, people would be using it already. I say by all means try it, though. Getting in a good HNM shell (you know, the ones that bots claim) and getting them keen on the idea of you doing something potentially fatal is another story, though.

Yeah, Eikechi just can't appreciate subtlety.
Also, how the balls do I embed a video? ; ;

tl;dr

At the bottom of the page there is a link to a reference page which tells you how to do alot of coding.

For youtube it would be... [ youtube]stQnUkU0dw[/youtube]

Or without the space up front...

It wasn't subtlety...that movie was just plain not funny... oh well....different strokes lol

Thanks :)

I wasn't actually trying to insult you, I was trying to make a funny about the movie's complete lack of subtlety, but then I didn't know how to embed videos. derp

lol well done then Diss...and I totally missed that lol (really hard to track tone through text sometimes lol)

>.>

FAIL

lolibre doesnt count.

Two days late but LOL

lol, win!

dnc aint got ***on pld lol

lets brenner my pld against your dnc, and see what happens

Paladin sucks. Good dancers are godlike(support). They can out heal any mage over a period of time incredibly easily. Paladins are barely useful except I guess hnms? I bet a monk could tank fafnir and aspi better, lol. Apply slow2/elegy, mob becomes drooling retard baby. Anything with 1200 HP can tank that.

Also this thread is completely HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE.

PLD can keep hate without SATA? Hmm well if u Sata the DNC he shouldnt have prob with hate either, not like PLD can really hold hate against ANY decent dd Without the DD's /thf to plant hate, but i dont know how many hits he can survive no shield and all but makes a decent argument, id like to see what happens. And for more people to try out diffrent things instead of bashing his comment. Or betta yet show me a pld/ Whatever that can tank anything without sata.

Yeah, pretty much. They only really out-shine other jobs when they PLD/blu and turtle tank ***that hits too quickly and accurately (yet also not particularly hard) to shadow/evasion take. Which is basically, like...two or three VNMs and Charybdis. I understand that people enjoy playing PLD, just the same way I love playing BST, but that doesn't mean it's not an loljob.

What?
Your PLD friends must all suck ***.
