Telling me to shut up is not a proper response.
You GREATLY GREATLY GREATLY over-value HP, and you seem to think the game will cap at 9999 hp which will be the "best" possible, and you constantly go on about how people just need to get as much HP or gear as you, but that's beside the point: Paladins are already doing content beyond what you are doing in significantly less gear.

That's the point.

Having 25k HP wouldn't even matter for a WAR, because you are still FAR less efficient to heal as a WAR tank. You would be able to take a hit, but you are still going to run your healers dry much quicker because a) you take far more damage even outside of a PLD's cooldowns, b) you take more mana to heal point for point, and c) WAR don't have any useful cooldowns for big damage abilities.

That's why people say it's not viable.

Being able to take an 8k hit doesn't mean jack ***** if your healers can't heal 8k before the next 8k hit comes in. And it means even less if it takes your healers 33% more mana to heal you as a WAR tank.

That's why people say it's not viable.

Yes, your WAR has a lot of HP. But no, you're not going to just suddenly be "good" by hitting a magical HP number. You may be viable on some bosses. But as a MT you will always be beyond sub optimal. And no amount of HP is going to make you viable against a boss that hits for 6-7k. with any regularity.
