Warriors - How to fix our damage mitigation

[Hachiko]

I've explicitly proven that a WAR and PAL do, effectively, the same amount of damage, if not giving a *slight* edge to PAL.

I agree with everything else you said, but in Shield Oath a PLD will be slightly lower in DPS than a WAR in defiance, but in Sword Oath a PLD will be doing more damage than a WAR out of defiance.

I think the funniest thing about WAR is they have all of this grandstanding. 2 damage dealing cooldowns! That's almost as many as a DPS class. Yet they all come at a huge cost (5 second pacification, 5 wrath stacks). And when you really look at them they're both like a 3-5% dps increase overall. Not to mention the fact that Unchained does nothing to buff Inner Beast damage either. Of course that's only available if you unchained + Infuriate anyway. Which is really too many cooldowns for a single heal.

That's sort of off the point. But yeah, WAR is ~8-16% higher in DPS than PLD if both are in their tank stance. PLD is higher out of tank stance.
