Yoshi P talks about Warriors- from Producer Letter Live @ TGS

[Sephirah]

What was WAR designed for? Please tell us.

Whatever your answer is, guess what? It will be wrong...

WAR is a tank that excels in tanking multiple targets and dealing damage. This debate has come up in several threads, and many warriors feel there is no point in them doing damage if they are there to tank. Well, sorry guys, but it isn't something that can just be ignored, more damage means higher health regen, and those both mean less defense. If a WAR could take a hit as well as a PLD, there would be no point in being a PLD. The two classes work TOGETHER, in this CO-OP game. Nobody is saying WAR can't main tank, but it will always be harder than a PLD (similar to how it's harder, but not impossible for a PLD to tank multiple targets), which again comes back to why they say if you want to show off you should be a WAR, because it takes more skill.

because currently WAR doesn't do anything better than PAL.

You're so right, I don't know what game I've been playing. So all the paladins you know have 7k hp, can aoe attack, regen health, and add some dps to the fight, right? -_-

Edit: And I didn't realize it was you Faction, didn't your last thread about this end with everyone (warriors included) telling you to role a pld because you want mitigation through defense?
