Clarification on PLD = Main tank WAR = Off tank

[Vire]

I believe that Savage Blade has a 3x multiplier, and Rage of Halone has a 5x multiplier. The first 2 steps of the hate combo have equal potency for both classes, the 3rd step, Rage of Halone is 260, Butcher's Block is 280.
However, Defiance is a 25% damage penalty, while Shield Oath is a 20% penalty. So equal mods, equal weapon damage, roughly equal combo potency, but PLD has a smaller dps hit, so in the long run, PLD should be ahead of WAR in ST.
That said, WAR's aoe hate generation blows PLD out of the water.

You are forgetting War has 20% damage buff from maim and 10% from Eye of the storm. They are damn close in single target threat with maybe the War being a bit better in both in my experience. This is purely anecdotal but I have been able to rip it off a pld whenever I felt like it in 8 mans.
