My shiney new Warrior

Coil tanking Paladin here... finally got my warrior to 50. Equipping my Darklight and Allagan with a crap i55 axe was fun, lol.

Gotta say despite mountain buster hitting SO MUCH HARDER... warrior is way more fun.

Look at the bright side, its good training for healers!

Maqaqa nice HP lol

He cheated :)

Having both tanks at 50 and running content with them both. I agree WAR is infinitely more fun. PLD is about the most boring thing I've ever done in a game.

I never tanked before in a game, but I found Warrior to be a lot of fun. Just concerned about getting around to Coil runs.

You'll only have a little time to try "hard mode" Warrior before they make life much easier. There'll be less soloing of content but more viability in relevant content so don't dally if you want to see what these forums have been buzzing about the last few months.

Indeed Warrior is a much more fun tank than Paladin.
It is a lot more active in its gameplay compared to Pally which is pretty much jut 6 buttons.

You can do Coil runs, its quite a bit harder for a Warrior compared to a Paladin, but it can be done.
In fact Storm's Eye is a very useful debuff on bosses since it increases enmity generation for the MT, particularly on ADS

I think this exactly is what bothers PLD's: too simple.. Leveling one myself now, going Coil soon with it. If it's true, it explains why suddenly (on my server) there are 2/3 WARs per fate group leveling one: it scares you how many flavor-of-the-month-people play this game..

I had planned to play warrior from the get go. I got it to 35 in the beta and would have rolled it in live but after much research PLD was simply better, and still is. There was no guarantee that SE would ever do anything about the tanking disparity and I started this game with the intention of forming an FC and doing coil so PLD was the obvious choice.

Thankfully I can now leave the PLD tanking to our other coil tank and I go about swinging my axe :)
