so me and 2 friends recently returned to the wonderful world of Vana'diel, i have been back for about a month now however we have noticed some difficultly with most of the content. we currently do not have a tank job. so i decided to take up PLD,
my question for anybody who is familiar with the job. what is,
what are my high priorities for a new PLD?
obviously the set of shields. Ageis and Ochain. these are something i will earn over the next month or so (causal play) but other than that. is there gear i should go out of my way to try to get ASAP?
ideally with my friends who aren't exactly fully equipped.
normal difficult AA-EV is about the extent we can go. its not much. that's why i'm wanting something that can take more of a beating. we have been rolling around on misc jobs, none of which are a tank. so yea.
TLDR: other than ageis/ochain what are my top priorities?
content would be prefered to able to be trioed by returning players.

NQ is fine too.
You can literally PLD tank 99% of the game in this.

Goading belt is a nice easy option to pair with souveran as well, caps haste for recast and has a little bit of enmity to it. You don't NEED ochain for anything right now, and like Taint said that set will pretty much cover the entire game. PLD is by far the easiest job to gear to a standard that will perform.

looking into the NQs is a huge savings.
17.9 mil hopefully gil comes faster for endgame content if i want to take the job further.

If you're a new paladin, do this quest:

Then make this weapon:

you suggesting RUN is better than PLD?
how would you rate them? on a scale of 1 to 20 on survivability
with only 2 other PCs and 3x trusts

One of the best job in the game.
with only 2 other PCs and 3x trusts
If you have plans to invest that much into pld, to the point to work on both rema shield then trusts nor pc number doesnt matter at that point.

PLD is the better tank while RUN is the better job.
PLD is tanking in basic mode: you'll do the job easily but nothing more. RUN is tanking in advanced mode: you'll have to juggle with lots of things and it has less room for errors, but it brings more to the table because it can tank, DD and support defensively your party too.
That's your choice, what's better for you? A solid tank that does nothing more than that or another that can do the job and more but at a price?

Lmao pls. The only reason people say pld is the better tank is cos they've never seen a player play RUN properly and they are probably squishy as hell. Literally rune tanks anything better than a pld can do when the right player is in control.

I absolutely love Paladin, always will but right now in the current state of game, RUN is the better tank.

It's easier and safer to tank on pld while drinking though. This is an important fact to consider when faced with the prospect of spending 2 hours in dynamis divergence as a tank.

This is also very true.
By Taint 2018-12-31 08:45:49
RUN is absolutely the better tank, but RUN takes more gear/skill/focus/button pushes.

I know you're joking, but that's the reason I say PLD is the better tank: it's easier and safer. No one can go wrong playing PLD, even a lab monkey can Flash a mob and hide behind Aegis/Ochain/Priwen. But that's everything PLD does and being easier and safer is the only advantage it has over RUN.

Big thing for me is holding hate and since levelling RUN I have gained a big love for /BLU as I can spam blank gaze indefinitely for enmity generation and providing I'm not using my runes for any sort of elemental resistances, I can have 3x Tenebrae and pretty much never run out of MP which is super useful for the Aspir spamming Omen bosses.

And I actually agree with your original comment, for the reasons you just stated. I actually do tend to stick with PLD for most content, if there's no necessary reason to bring RUN. I also like to drink a lot when I play. :)
Apologies for contributing to the sidetracking of this thread. I've played PLD so long though that I don't know where to begin with offering new gear advice. Aegis (I wouldn't bother with Ochain...I hardly bother to use it anymore), Dring, and cap PDT (there's lots of options). Get decent phalanx and enmity sets. If AoE tanking, /blu and SIRD (not really applicable for trioing though). I think for trio content, RUN is a much better option as a tank, possibly even when drinking.

My favorite thing is watching a RUN kill themselves to an Orc in Dyna Sandy-D thinking they need to DD to hold aggro and they get countered to death by 3 triple attack procs w/ capped haste.
