Tanking as a warr

Alright so ive been playing Warrior since Beta and loved the class cleared everything up to HM primals.

I read that Warr cannot tank coil phase 4 and 5 they simply get one hit and that got me a little depressed lol Theres something about being the MT that i like OT are needed but paladins can offtank also its all a question of skills while getting 1 hit rules out the "skill" part

So i thought if we get fucked this much i might just re roll Summoner instead of having to live in the shadow of a PLD lol

Any insight would be appreciated if im forced to tank i rather be MT then OT rouding up mobs and AoEing isnt all that fun.

What do you guys think is dps any more fun in Coil ? is it active or just stay back and do rotation ?

I think the important distinction that most people are making is that we are missing content. There is a step between HM Primals/50 instances and Coil. Namely Crystal Tower a 24 man raid which was held back. Who knows if that will actually help a WAR, but obviously the game hasn't been out for very long and I'm sure the testing of end game WAR tanking wasn't as in depth as people would have liked especially since the game was rushed, but hopefully those kinks will be worked out. I am enjoying tanking everything thus far I don't feel inferior to a PLD at all, and if you ever get to envious just run HM ifrit a few times and enjoy watching the PLD reduced to a stun bot! DPSing is always a boring job, if you really want to play something else try rolling a healer and heal a WAR tank :)

Haha I do not feel inferior to any PLD in fact every dungeon or HM i do im always MT i can steal 1v1 aggro from a PLD along with having better AoE hate. the getting 1 hit thing though i guess we will see in time

Being able to generate tonnes of aggro is fine and all, but the issue survivability. Both tanks have adequate options to get and keep aggro, so the Warrior's enmity generating toolset is more overkill than actual substance.

If you think stealing aggro makes you a better tank, you are better off as a summoner, no offence.

It would be nice if WAR was on par with PLD, this way, you wont have guilds taking all PLD tanks, that would mean less gear for the PLD tanks, not a fun concept. They both should be on par when it comes to tanking.
