How good are dragoon's in taking dmg compared to Drk?

[simlo]

Well since Drk can wear plate, but dragoons hav better evasion and parry. Who is better at tanking with a warrior sub?

[struck]

They both take almost the exact same amount of damage, A lot. Dragoon and Dark Knight get hit hard regardless of sub. You can tank with these jobs for as long as you live. Which wont be very long.

[Awntawn]

Yeah I think after a low point there's a cut-off where it doesn't matter what armor you're wearing anymore; you're defense is insignificant :p

As for tanking, phalanx rings and defense kabob puts me up to almost 500, good enough to tank on most of the smaller HNMs. :p

It's not just DRK and DRG, RNG and MNK are also "insignificant," the difference for monk is that they have more HP so that it doesn't LOOK like they're dying as fast, but in reality they're wasting just as much (if not more) MP.
