Game Analysis (CURRENT) End Game

[Ariyn]

Have you even played a PLD? You speak of their basically bad cooldowns yet during any boss fight I can almost always have a cooldown running. Granted some are better then others and some do have longer cd's then I'd like but all in all their cd's are pretty decent.

Not exactly sure what you mean by "has so much defense but is paper thin". Side by side with a pug warrior in fates yesterday, same level and all, he couldn't hold threat from me (provoke can't be used in fates so not even a counterpoint), he had over 150hp less then I did, and when he was tanking his health dropped like a rock from the empire state building. You seem to be very gung ho over warrior and I'm not knocking it at all I enjoy both tanks in ARR but to say that warrior outshines PLD is blatantly false. They do more damage thats about it.

Difference between warrior and paladin .... the person behind the screen's ability to play it.

I think you misunderstand how provoke works. It essentially matches the #1 threat +"some". It also most definitely works in FATEs. It's honestly just a required skill for tanking.

Also, for raiding, there's a false equivalency between WAR and PLD. They're not the same, PLD is quite a bit more reliable. It's not to say that WAR isn't capable, but healers, especially new ones, will prefer PLDs. This commonly transitions into end-game as well, regardless of merit.
