want to know which job/subjob combo will produce the best tank.
Here are some I thought of...
War/Mnk, giving the war more hp and vit
Pld/War, Pld are like the offical tanks of FFXI or something, actually I don't think there's a Pld/??? only Pld/War :p
But I think Pld actually has less hp than both War and Mnk tho...
Mnk/War, high hp and vit, but limited equipment choice.
Pld/Mnk, high stats, but no provoke.
So basicly I just play around with the three durable classes of FFXI, some of the concepts might be wrong or I might be missing other possible classes, so I want to hear some of your opinions.

OK, this was the start of a thread in the Warrior area.
http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/db/jobs.html?fjob=4&mid=1073036883769434550&num=18
From EVERYTHING that I've read, my thoughts go to the Pal/War as being the best tank but the result of this thread was disturbing. They were saying that Wars were better tanks than Pals... Who knows, maby I'm wrong, but I could've sworn that Paladins were best at defensive tanking(is there any other kind :P ).
I'm posting this here so I can ask this question to a broader audience. They put up some seemingly good arguments for the War, but there's something about it that I'm just not buying (btw why is this "shield break"(War GAxe skill) so great? I only ask because this one guy used it in one of his arguments).
As a person yet to play the game (Paladin wannabe) I have a stake in this argument. So what I'm asking is for anyone willing (not just Pals and Wars) to make a comment from their points of view in the group as to what is the "Best Tank" and what reasons you have for saying that.
Please let me thank you in advance.
Edit: Also someone said that Paladins "Wear armor 10 levels behind." I have no idea what he was talking about, anyone know?
