Warrior gameplay

hello WARs,

I just want to know how do they tank? Do you play them like paladins? Or should you play them differently? I'm confused when I read some of the posts here in Tank Roles section, It's like players wants Warriors to work like paladins.

Should warriors tank like a paladin or should warriors tank like warriors?
help me understand what should warriors like.

Warrior = More HP to compensate the migation difference to a certain point. More DPS mechanically.
Paladin = More mitigation due to the use of a shield. Less DPS mechanically.

Warriors need to stop crying to be on par with Paladins, if you want to do that, drop your DPS. sacarfice your DPS cooldowns for survivability cool downs.

Warriors are more a DPS orientated off tank and can tank when needed, alas as I said, it takes more effort. I like having more DPS and burstey cooldowns with survivability then a Paladin, it is why I play one and it is how the class is designed.

Is this true? that Warriors should stop thinking like a Paladin and actually play like Warriors?

It isn't true.
Warriors dont do anymore DPS than a Paladin, and their HP regen is much lower than the pure mitigation of a Paladin.
Let alone that off tanks take more damage because they have more mobs on them, so having less eHP is stupid.

Early-game and 4-man content, WAR should go nuts with Inner Beast. Once you hit endgame content, play like PLD and accept that you're gimped.
