THE SHIELD

oMG war in 2.1 will be MT ???

MR.happy say : war will be so good may go to MT ????

good... i know no one know everything , he say BLM is better then SMN <--lol
and you can use: FFXIVAPP and make sure you have full gear BLM and SMN and see who will win in all fight's( WP.AK.COIL.avatar's)
SMN damage + ifrit damage = win 1000% then any BLM ( ANYWAY )

why everyone talk about the new skill that WAR will have
and what PLD have now.
and no one talk about (( THE SHIELD )) what make PLD upper
shield give more attributes and block + PLD can parry
WAR only parry
PLD can use all his skill immediately any time he need
WAR need combo ?

SO WAR & PLD ar good now . and PLD is lil better there
so no need to say OP WAR
the only OP is PLD now and that's why WAR need buff

thank you

I think warriors should get some type of shield equivalent to their paladin counter-parts. Lets even the playing field across the board. Heck I think all classes should get some type of grip (like in FFXI) that they could put in their off-hand slot.

anyway, if this is not possible, how about removing the Life Draining aspect of warrior, and turning them into an evasion tank (where they can fully evade damage completely). Also, why does defiance lower their damage, they wield huge Battleaxes! They should be doing stronger damage then paladins (and not by small margins). Throw caution to the wind, and decimate their opponents!

But I digress, I doubt any of my suggestions will ever reach Square Enix, and it would probably be even harder the balance.

Careful. This guy punch while rap.

I can speak English, Indonesian, Malay, (Passable) Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien. And you know why I don't post on Japanese forum? Cause my Japanese is just "passable" level.

とにかく、マイン話題を戻る。。。

Why even bring Mr. Happy in the picture? Sure SMN is strong in prolonged fight, sure BLM is good in blowing up Dreadknights, to each their niche.

Paladin have shield yes it's good, but all that was factored in when doing the calculations for why Warrior is likely to be the stronger tank. Sure the only valid point I'd give you is that Warriors do not have the flexibility of calling their CDs at any time. But seriously that is a minor issue that can be rectified by Infuriate. The shield does not put the Warrior in a stat deficit position, only gripe you want to complain is that Paladin gets to choose a 2 option upgrade.

The only thing strong about Paladin is his Sword Oath and Hallowed Ground. Other than that consistency of mitigation come 2.1 will put Warrior in a favorable position.

It really depend who agree who want to be MT. It doesn't matter who have Main Tank Warrior or Paladin. People believe that Paladin are good as main tank because they take damage better to sense that they got more defense cooldown then the warrior. Yea my grammar sucks but I wanna give my two cents. Warrior really good to get there health back and great Damage dealing attacks. It good they have buff in next patch it coming but people would like to have Paladin as MT they can tank damage better and it be easyer. Main Tank is only good if team act as one unit everything will be okay.

...

I bow before your greatness.

I would think....

PLD can reduce the damage they take. With the new storms path, WAR can drop the damage the the boss throws. Why not have the WAR as OT still helping the PLD survive more?

We should be able to MT after the patch... which is great. But honestly, the tanks need to work together just like the SCH and WHM do.

that is probably the best OP of all time.

the best part of the WAR changes, IMO are that they synergize so well with PLD. I think this will at least help people get over the "2x PLD only" epidemic. WAR/PLD will be the way to go. and, IMO, each class has the ability to MT and OT. PLD might be the better OT bc they can cover for MT, and pull hate back/go invincible to let group re-group themselves...

it will all be unveiled soon enough and I'm very excited.

Exactly this. I don't make posts in the German forum because meine deutsche ist nicht sehr gut, aussie j parle francais mais c'est terrible, so I don't post in french either.

I particularly loathe the OP's concept of MT vs OT. Paladin's are not all inherently Main Tanks, neither are Warrior's. Everybody else in this thread seems to get that, as it depends on the group setup. (IE, if you have 2 PLD tanks in one run, one of them needs to OT . . .)

With my WAR, I MT stuff all the time if it is more suitable, or if my WAR is more qualified than the PLD I'm partied with. IT has been speculated that WAR will be over powered @ 2.1. No, we don't really know how exactly off set it will be until after we try it.


I can't really post together either a supporting statement, or argument, to the original poster, as I really don't understand what the point was. Other than to give all fluent English speaking tanks a headache.

SMN and BLM is burst VS dot dmg. Can't say one is better than the other. Totally different kinds of damage type roles.
