So i finished my PLD... After my WAR

Finished my WAR, got Full Darklight, Garuda Weapon.. etc etc Was having fun tanking things for my FC didn't have any issues or complaints about survival/agro.


I finished my PLD on Friday, got the Grand Company Weapon and shield.

Went into Garuda/AK so far with it and...

WAR now feels like a shitty DD with high HP's


But hey! at least they share the Darklight set.


Glad i saved my Myth Seals.

i didnt, bought the helm

if you have war and pld both leveled to 50, you would be stupid to queue as war to farm philosophy.

I'll disagree with this. PLD is the better tank class, but WAR has a bit more damage. Assuming you have decent gear (and similar weapons for both classes) you will have CM and AK in farming mode. In this case I'd stack the 30 attribute points into STR for my war (+~7.5% dmg) and equip him with internal release, equip +str accesories I might have over +vit ones (there are some nice darklight ones if you bought them), use damage skills proactively (unchained, steel cyclone, etc) and use him to farm faster.

Maybe your healers need to L2P with a warrior and stop trying to heal them like a PLD

Hahaha yeah because there's something they could do differently aside from "heal more often."

apparently, you havent even learnt steel cyclone at all. so your post is irrelevant.

steel cyclone is the second worst skill war has.

and no, running CM doesnt require your extra bit of dmg.

I have both War and Pld with Relics, and my main has always been WAR, but.... One can't simply ignore how much better PLD is right now. My war gets demoted to off-tank for every event my FC does, assuming i'm not going pld already. Its sad really. But a reality.

I don't have a 50 PLD. I'm doing WAR for quicker queues, and in my circle of MMO friends, I'm currently the only tank. Two of them are leveling PLD because they didn't like BRD and SMN respectively. I wouldn't even want to risk trying to slot my WAR and handicap my friends, if I could just let them tank. Which is what I'm doing by swapping to DPS.

It's worthless for tanking. It's useful for dealing extra damage in a farming run against multiple mobs. Or would you rather spend that 5 stack wrath on an IB you don't need because your healers are keeping you topped off? Assuming you are against 2 or more mobs, you're getting more juice out of SC.

And yes, CM is better off with an extra bit of dmg rather than a tank who is a bit better, because it is a farming run and nobody cares if your health never dipped below 60% instead of 40%. L2 prioritize.
