Defiance still lacking in comparison to Shield Oath

[Sephirah]

Literally nothing in this quote implies either "paladins will be main tanks" or "warriors will be off tanks"

If you're waiting for someone to say "pld is main tank and war is off" you won't find it, but it's also naive of you to think that without saying that, they're both intended to fill the exact same role, they aren't going to let you deal more damage and have better/equal tanking. How would that be fair, why would anyone be a PLD if that was the case? Even on their main website, the description of the paladin says "To be a paladin is to protect, and those who choose to walk this path will become the iron foundation upon which the party's defense is built."

It seems clear to me they intend for WAR to deal more dmg/aoe for offtanking and pld to be main. /shrug
