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

[Sephirah]

I'd say most people that are disapointed with WAR while knowing what they are talking about aren't saying that the WAR is bad but rather weaker than PLD.
The problem we have right now as a WAR isn't that we can't clear stuff, we can, it requires more gear than a PLD but we can. The problem is "why would you take a WAR in your party when you can take a PLD ?"

Because there are some things they do better than PLD. People keep saying it's a myth WAR does more dmg than PLD, yet there are parses out there showing WARs dealing equal if not more dmg than actual DPS classes, you just have to change your gear and playstyle. They are more versatile, for encounters you only need 1 tank for they can DPS and pick up the boss if the PLD dies, much easier than any other DPS could. I'm not saying it's impossible to hold AoE threat as a PLD, far from it, but it's definitely easier for a WAR. Just like it's not impossible for a WAR to maintank, it's just easier for a PLD.

You're the one in the nerf thread that thought WARs get 40% more hp than a PLD.

Wars may have some benefit if you dig into it (although save AoE threat generation it's pretty hidden). But I'm gonna just go ahead and say that you have literally no idea what you're talking about whatsoever so you should probably stop posting.

This is so stupid.
