Molt will be primarily PUG...it's the first and strongest thing he's ever trained in, other than LNC/THF.
I just try to look at his entire life on a timeline and plot out about when he started certain events, training classes included. I try to be realistic on what a year or two or five can do for someone focusing on something. I also consider what he would do on a day to day basis. I figure since fantasy characters don't (necessarily) have to go to work and especially don't have modern technology to take their attention away in their daily lives, that they basically have quite a bit more time on their hands for training and hobbies.
MRD was pretty good as far as AoE dmg and maintaining multiple mobs. Because they are a tank class, they could take the hits. If a BLM ripped (as they love to do), then they don't last long at all...So I could see some validity to their argument but for the most part, they're DPS/OT tanks. I've never had them, as most people would want a BLM or two (or three!) instead.

I remember in 1.0 my guild was talking about WAR had better DPS than MNK and DRG. Was this changed or did they get it entirely wrong?It queues as a tank, it does damage like a tank... it's higher DPS than a GLA, certainly, but nowhere near the DPS of a pure DPS class. The MRD is the "hit point sponge/damage enmity" offensive tank, while the GLA is the "high mitigation/effect enmity" defensive tank.
Sounsyy can explain the mechanics of these at level 50 better than I can.
Edit: Also sorta off topic here, but can you dye AF gear?
