PUP is a *** "tank". The robot is practically invincible yet can't hold hate worth a damn. They are a WAR/PLD with no gear swaps or enmity sets, just full time DT gear. It only works with things that won't generate hate anyways like pets or relic RNGs.
So lets stop with the ***, saying PUP is a "great tank" is like saying MNK is a "great DD" or SMN is a "great healer".
They do have access to the Heyoka set which is a princely amount of enmity, along with strobes + flashbulb. The problem is they don't succeed vs high powered DDs since the DPS hate accumulation will take the attention away from the robot too quickly. They rely on their Job Ability timers...It's a different type of tank, and people need to open their eyes to this.
...They are not Paladins or RUNs by any means, they are
different. Doesn't mean they can't fulfill the task of tanking when necessary.
