Hey,
I was hoping people could weigh in their thoughts on the viability of Drk tanking.
If you want specifics, I'm a Galka thinking about Paggo Remnants tanking but am curious if Drk can be a good tank in this day and age and what its limitations are.

drk's an excellent tank in a number of situations, though generally not the most efficient one. access to the standard hate gainers (sleep, bind, stun) and two large hate gaining JA for panic buttons along with strong melee and wlegs allow you to tank in a variety of situations. good gear/itemization options too including haste, hp, +movement and enmity gear. if you have a high-end LS or a good merc shell you can get the valhalla helm//breastplate for excellent -PDT% idle options as well (the new gear from synergy might be a more easily obtained alternative but i have no idea how difficult it is to synth). don't neglect the old stand-by earth staff + jelly ring either.
tl;dr version:
great hate gainer spells/JA
good gear options
can tank w/o meleeing, either straight or kited, with spells/ja
can melee tank, /sam or /nin (though obviously /sam requires more support) depending on mob

It actually does work, but there is really no point considering there is almost never a lack of PLDs.

whatever. anything you can melee tank, you can drk tank. i could have tanked omega on drk as easy as nin/drk or pld, but that sh*t's retardedly easy anyway. any of the lesser sky gods you could co-tank the same way, and really probably anything you'd nin/drk for you could drk/nin for about as easy, the real disadvantage would be the lack of an easy -PDT set rivaling arhat's. anything i have kited on pld, i've also kited on drk.
one thing i need to qualify before this goes any further: kiting events aside, i'm more talking about co-tanking. stand-up solo-tanking anything real is a different beast and drk will require a higher level of support than the usual tank jobs.

This.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Airships on fire off the shoulder of Bahamut. I watched Scapula Beams glitter in the dark near the Three Mage Gate...

Works fine.
As a Galka with the jobs I have levelled I use it a lot for quicker kill, low man stuff.
MP merits help, cooldowns & Drain resistant mobs are limitations.
Great in Nyzul & Salvage.
(need a few extra /subs to be viable imo) /rdm /sch ie
If you're good with macro's helps a lot also (& having the gear to put in- Ethereal, Loquacious,Crimson,Homam,Askar,I.R. ...)

You realize they are talking about salvage, right?
Pretty much anything a dedicated Tank can tank, a melee can do it too. You just need to not plan at being the top of the parses for most of it. The only real exception to this rule is obviously AV/PW, but those are obviously exceptions to a lot of rules.
