The tank in a plod team is basically there to take damege ... as long as you wearing HA and taking the beating for tha ,mage pod actually doing the damge, I'd be glad to have you. I dare say, with 60 hpm daggers, ya might be using more credits than doiing damage. On tough bosses, I generall just stand there with high parry gear as doing actions just means that I gotta take a mage away from nuking to keep me standing.
