Is it worth leveling a warrior currently?

PLD has a much lower skill cap (Until shield bashing is the difference between a wipe and not, at least), and they're also much easier to heal on average.

I'm positive an exceptional WAR can tank fine, and would only be considered poor when compared to an exceptional Paladin.

My personal advice based solely off my opinion? Keep with WAR if you like it and don't plan on doing CoB anytime soon. Roll a PLD if you do.

There's no skill involved in playing PLD. You literally have one combo chain (which already debuffs the boss for you), very good passive mitigation, and very good cooldowns. People love to underestimate Sword Oath, but it provides comparable damage to Maim, should you be the off-tank or off-DPS.

I was trying to be polite about it, thus I went with "lower skill cap"
