umm....yeah, what Meridian said.

Any decent MT grp can raise the MT 's resists to cap. Resists will never be > mitigation. I have seen some palys brought to the mit cap, but its rare.

Generally speaking, its a safer bet to have a Guardian/ Bers tank because of their self buffs. You could stick 2 Palys in an MT grp for the AC gift, but ive only seen this once and as a joke.

Mit, hitpoints, aggro, etc all play a huge role. Sure Palys can tank some raid mobs, but for mobs like Tarinax and Vyemm, you want your best MT combo, and Palys as MT's arent, thats just reality.

Can it be done? probably, but why take the chance when repairs and time are so valuable.

We've had a Bers and a Guard tank Tarinax, and they were successful. Havent tried with a paly. Maybe one day, but its more important to get our claymore updates and loot.
