I'd take Provoke and Defender, then ditch /WAR for something a little more useful like WHM, MNK, or NIN.
That was a bit hurtful...
If there was anything more useful for you than war, you would be able to sub it in xp party....But you can't...so ;P
Um... PLD only sub WAR because it is NEEDED for provoke. If there was an alternative, the scope of things available to PLD would be broadened by a lot. MNK is what I think would give the largest boost in abilites. /MNK would give PLD a larger VIT and HP pool, Dodge would be great for tanking, Chi Blast for hate, Counter, I can't think of anything that would lend more to PLD than MNK. PLD/WHM would be great too, more self-curing with the boosted MP pool, being able to get rid of your own status debuffs, maybe play a DD with GS and be there for support healing. PLD/NIN would just be the most efficient tank ever. Ability to take hits when casting fails, have the Utsusemi spells, probably NOT use the dual-weild ability but you could, I'd stick with a shield anyway. The AGI bonus from /NIN would help with shield, parry, and evade. Just some thoughts I had on the subject. If Provoke wasn't WAR specific, the tanks of this game would be allowed more range in options and party roles.
