Out of what i have seen, ninja makes the best tank against behemoths (regular Behemoth and King Behemoth). Since ninja uses utsusemi to evade physical attacks AND magic, they can stay alive longer than a paladin or warrior when tanking those guys. King Behemoth does around 400-500 damage per hit (atleast what he did to me 65 WAR) and his lovely lovely meteo... Utsusemi can evade all those with ease so i'd take a ninja tank over a paladin or warrior i this case. Ninja's are really considered situational tanks, they do better than other tanks at different given situations. Sometimes paladins do better as they can keep hate much easier than ninja. Regarding BCNM, ninja's are useful as tanks as well. Using the "Ni" nuking series will decrease a monster's resistance to the opposing element which can help mages a bit
