Currently 77 PLD, been tanking with /WAR sub from 75. I'd like ideas about an IDLE set for xp mobs on /war? I macro in JA's, Cures with typical pld/nin gear, but wondered about an idle set. Would it be an accuracy/haste/turtle blend? I don't really know any of the new gear 76+ either. I've seen Grim Cuirass which looks awesome. Thanks.

/WAR is just as dumb as it was pre-update.

sooooooo /nin onry?

If shadows are helpful, yes. If not, BLU seems to be the most formidable subjob for blood-tanking situations.

if you're going to keep making useless posts in order to raise your post count so people won't notice you're a sock puppet, at least make constructive posts.

Not an awful choice, but /BLU offers much more for CE gain. Cocoon doesn't hurt either.

I got to admit myself I am curious how potent a PLD/BLU is.

Quick browse shows Soporific and Sheep song as the only real CE spells /BLU gets. Would be a feasible sub job if they weren't AoE spells. However, it's really something to look into for those of you who still bring PLD for crowd control (surprised it's never been brought up for this earlier).

With all the new (largely useless) AoE weaponskills added, I've seen a lot of people talking about AoE as though it is a liability. Maybe at a merit camp that's true, but if you're in a situation where a Paladin is blood-tanking, how many of those big bads have a bunch of non-aggressive mobs hanging around them? Anyhow, Blank Gaze works like the old Dispel did. Couple that with standard Paladin Enmity gains, the damage reduction you can get from native Phalanx and subbed Cocoon, and a few AoE sleeps and it should be possible to tank more or less as well as one did /Red Mage. The big loss is probably in terms of Magic Defense Bonus.
