In this video I rank the tank jobs in FFXIV based on Looks, Playability, Noob Friendly, and of course using the FFLogs to show the damage outputs.

My fellow gunbreaker like how ur fair and smart with the assessments
Thats fair, you dont like axe. I dont like sword and board.
Likely will never level paladin. But I will probably keep the other 3 at cap just for what suits me at the time
booooooo dk ftw
Men decide already you said on your other video some of these tanks are boring af and now those ones are the most fun ones… WHAT XD
Is there any tank that's like Axe from Dota 2?(having counter helix/counter strike and the like).. the stereotypes of tanks in MMORPS are "holy" or sacrificing yourself for others — kind of tank. I want to be a tanky tank sacrificing others for my benefit to survive instead, none of that support or sacrificing yourself kind of tank.
I ask this cause most tanks in MMORPGS are the stereotypes of having skills that like "transfer damage from your party member to yourself instead"
Thanks. I'm new to ff14 played wow for awhile.
I like you video, I feel like you could go into a little more detail into about the jobs like what abilities they possess that set them above or below the other jobs. What can they do and what do they lack
FFXIV does not have or need tier lists
Please people..don't listen to this fool.
Lnc is the worst tank.
I disagree. The Dsrk Knight is the worst choice for new players. Mainly because it doesn't mitigate melee attacks sufficiently. It's cd's are magic mitigation. Someone using the Dark Knight and not putting BiS based on the jobs attributes will rely heavily on the healer and probably cause a wipe. DK is probably the best tank for raids and dungeons that use magic based attacks. That way the cd's mitigate damage and the healer is not being strained.
The best job for any new player is the PLD. If you can't survive without the healer then you're doing it wrong. If you can then you can move on to the WAR. That job will test your knowledge on how to sustain yourself in a raid or dungeon. It's a step up from PLD and will satisfy anyone who wants to tank and do big damage at will due to its job actions. GNB is the job to show off with. It has sustainability and cd's woven into its base rotation. It has cd's that you can add on to the base cd's and you can heal yourself like the PLD. GNB is a combination of WAR/PLD.
Most players think they are doing good with the DK but most play in dungeons with ilvl gear way above the required ilvl. Thats why ppl think DK is better than it is. They don't realize they aren't mitigating damage due to the ilvl gears high defense stats. I've watched ppl MT with a DK against a melee enemy and it doesn't take long for them to be ko'd. Then they get raised and still want to come back an MT only to be ko'd again. One thing I've learned from this game most ppl are not paying attention to what's happening because they think they know more than the ppl that developed the game.
If you're a tank know that there is no "I" in team and there is no "dps" in tank.🙄 Everybody that tanka wants to dps. Stop it. Your job as a tank is to maintain enmity and sustainability. The damage a tank does is the tree chopping method. At some point the tree gonna fall. So keep chopping. Stop trying to do big damage if you don't know what's BiS.
So what about blue mage 0.0 I main tank on it all the time.
I just wished they would remove the level requierments of jobs that came with dlcs.
