If you honestly don't see WAR getting better with gear, your just a PLD in Denial.

PLD vs WAR base reduction goes up exactly the same as we get gear. Are you saying your 20% reduction from stance goes up as you get gear ?

I didn't think so. The heal form Inner beast and the 15% bonus does get better and better as healers heal for more per heal, all your saying is.. well you have more HP.. so they have more to heal.... yea that may be.. but mobs aren't hitting harder as i increase my HP and as healers are healing me for more and more as they get gear.


All people are looking at is 20% reduction and calling it done. I thought that until i played the class, and WAR can do it just as good.

WAR's that spam inner beast are bad, its a cooldown.. that you get back every 17.5 seconds if you time it good.

PLD - Lower HP 20% Reduction
WAR +25% HP, 15% healing Increase on them - can blow the increase for a 1k+ heal with 17.5 sec time on getting the 15% back.


So far, i build my 5 charges, set on them, and use them to negate spike dmg, and easily have the 5 charges back up before something else happens, ive also had zero issues tanking anything as the main tank.

The only issue i have with the Job is Bloodbath/Steel Cyclone/Holmgang


Both classes need a few tweaks, but overall.. they are both fine at doing maintank.

So Be in Denial all you want if you please :P i've had no issues, and my healers have no complaints so far.


Enjoy being a Stunbot :P
