As a healer if you queue up and get a war tank its easier and faster to just leave the instance and re-queue in 15 mins. Not really any point to healing that class at all.

It's depressing when I go into something like Titan hard mode and I know that I'm going to die due to the healers because I'm not a PLD or that we're going to wipe because people can't dodge. People not dodging is the number one cause of wipes, but even if we get past that, I just can't expect healers to keep me alive even when I use cooldowns and IB to counter Mountain Buster. I know this would be much easier as a PLD, and that's the problem. I actually have to beat Titan on WAR, and it's depressing that when I'm sitting in full DL and have garuda's axe that I still can't do it because healers can't top me off / react to mountain buster. And if we have a PLD, and I go DPS mode, I always get people who keep on dying to staying in the weight of the land attacks.
I got my Pally up to 50 a couple days ago and am now in the process of leveling my Warrior (technically still a Marauder at 27). I mainly enjoy tanking and expect SE will keep tinkering with both main tank classes).
I'm re-rolling to a miner.
YoshiP make me laught, saying "Warrior are very strong, they need to learn to play" by saying that, he also talk about every healer that are having harder time to heal WAR. So basicaly... Screw all your experience of other MMO... Screw your End game hard mode of WoW, SWTOR, TERA, TSW, Rift, all of you guys dont know how to play /adapt. Screw your obvious Theorycrafting , screw mathematics (LOL), you guys just need to learn of to play.
Another thing... Does FFXIV has a PTR? I dont think so, so who test their end game ? YoshiP Little sister that play to collect mini-pet? Or that girl that paint her nail with Moogle?
Im not a World first style player, but when all the world first player say that Warrior is WAY worse than paladin in the tanking/mitigation aspect of the game, I guess i need to trust them.
Ive Killed Titan HM and First boss of Coil (onw to kill second boss) but saying WAR are as good a PAL for tanking is like saying Hallowed ground is equal to Thrill of Battle...
Another thing... Does he say that WAR are strong for 4 man dungeon and CM ? because YES they are very strong for that, but who care about being strong for easy content?
TLDR : If YoshiP tell the truth that all healer and WAR need to relearn to play, he need to prove it, free word are just too easy.
Its fine, atleast till Turn 5.
He told me to do some research and learn how to play. So I researched and learned how to reroll a paladin. It all worked out, he's right.
PS
Please look forward to seeing more paladins, kthxbye.
