Clarification on PLD = Main tank WAR = Off tank

[Griffeth]

They are two different styles of classes. PLD = Mitigation WAR = HP/Damage

And as far as I'm concerned, WAR has no problems holding aggro on a Single Target, whereas PLD has a slight problem holding AOE aggro (which is no problem at all depending on the player's skill rotation and the Team's choice of skill, ex sleep, AOE spells).

I completely agree that it is slightly difficult to hold aggro on multiple targets, but only really against way-too-ambitious black mages (who really should sleep and single target, in my opinion).
Healing aggro is easy to combat by switching targets while you do your combo. If your single target dps understand how to read marks - aggro is never an issue as a paladin.

I think we'll see the full utilization of paladins and warriors in parties as more content is released and completed in full parties.

PLD vs WAR as tank and which generate most enmity is interesting in itself.

But: As in a team play to make a fight go smoothly it's not just about the tank generating enmity it's as much about other classes holding back so the hate is on the tank. Many people forget this.

Yeah sometimes the warrior manage to steal the aggro on one mob from me, that's an issue, or not.

Flash is by far, once you take the damage reduction from defiance/shield oath into account, the best aoe threat ability, guess who got twice the mana of the other one ?

The mitigation is a little weak for gla/pld is should not rely so much on 15/sec and 20 sec skill but rather they should all be 30 sec skills. We already weaker when it comes to aoe aggro so make us stronger in single target aggro. likewise make mrd stronger in aoe aggro.

This way we each have our place gl/ pld as boss tank n mrd as aoe tank, I am sure healers would loves us both then. lol
