Again, as in the other thread, what WAR has 8300hp (1500 / 0.18) without their Relic? Average Warriors are sitting between 6500hp and 7000hp, which are 1170-1260 Stoneskins, not 1500. Did you travel back in time with your Bravura+1 to get your Bravura? We're not saying HM Titan is impossible with WAR, it's just significantly harder and requires insanely better gear; Comparatively to a PLD.

For the record, Stoneskin is not a miracle solve-all to WAR, because it's not really much better than it is for PLD. A 7khp WAR is probably gear-par with a 4.9k PLD (about 30% less, seems to be normal).

7000 * 0.18 = 1260
4900 * 0.18 = 882

Assume each tank takes a hit that reduces the stoneskin to 0? Obviously the WAR is hit for 1260, but the PLD actually takes (882 / 0.8) 1102.5. How much less is that? (1102.5 / 1260) It's 12.5%. Since you can ignore parry and Foresight as differences (they both have them), what about PLD's CDs being in place for Stoneskin?

Rampart (-20% or *0.8) = 1102.5 / 0.8 = 1378
Sentinel (-40% or *0.6) = 1102.5 / 0.6 = 1838

Add in the Block advantage (22-26%), and what you see is that stoneskin only better for WAR when everything goes wrong for the PLD, and even then it's only worse by 12.5%
