Now, here I will admit that the damage gap likely would be somewhat closed if I had had a less insanely good tank. I would debate that a MNK is the second best tank in the game, depending on mob type/con level, but that's a whole different discussion--just follow me on it.
MNKs have a lot of advantages in the hate keeping department. With WAR subs, their hate generating tactics are nearly identical to WAR/MNK tanks at this level with the additional fact that hitting twice for 40 will generate more hate than hitting once for 80. All in all, I only pulled hate off the MNK, even when being tricked on, a handful of times and I tend to be a arrow-spam fiend. If I had a WAR tank, I don't think I could have done quite as much damage--but not 1/3 less. If I had had a PLD tank, it probably would have been a toss up with the MNK granted they were both 37.
But, if the tank didn't need SATA to do their job to begin with, then the tank can put up with an insane amount of hate generation on my part.
