XIV WAR Tanking - Baseline Mitigation and PLD comparison

[Derza]

No. You raise your HP + raise you EHP. Which is more than raising just your HP by stacking VIT and not including mitigation on top of it.
.

Yes i know what you were saying i just don't see how it applies to what the other guy you quoted said. You can't raise your EHP to surpass a paladin no matter what stats you go with the difference is just to large once you get to titan/coil. I did some calculations in some other posts... the threshold for when a paladin surpasses a warrior in tanking mitigation is somewhere in the 300-400 incoming dps range. That basically means warriors are better in most 4 man dungeons situations and never better in any 8 man +, at least how the game is right now.

I hadn't worked it out but that was the gist I was getting at.

Below a certain incoming DPS Warrior is better.
As it goes above that certain incoming DPS PLD starts pulling away and becomes better.

ATM coils and titan are way above that certain incoming DPS.


Titan is entirely possible as a WAR I've tanked it before. But it does require more effort from the healers.

Derza can you gimme a link to the calculations for the threshold of incoming dps and where the boundary is?

I did my calculations using Defiance + IB vs Shield Oath. You can go to page 15 and see where someone did calculations comparing the cd's.
