XIV WAR Tanking - Baseline Mitigation and PLD comparison

[Kaalan]

This means that now instead of mitigating 70 DPS you're mitigating 75 DPS. But instead of having 7200 HP you now have 6200 HP.

That's not how it works. With enough dedication (farm and stuff) you can get both. WAR need crafted DPS accessories overmelded more than any other job.
I agree that this whole thing in itself is a huge hit in our face but I had to make this point.

Yea but that is only to get very slight gains in tanking - it does not make it so you can compete with a normally geared paladin.

Wanna play Warrior?

Buy crafted gear - overmeld it - perfect your rotations for every possible situation, and then live with the fact that a Paladin can do just as well, if not better than you, without all the extra effort.

That's what I meant. It's not normal than a full ilvl 90 WAR with HQ crafted acc fully melded would still be inferior compared to a PLD that just farmed a full DL set in like, one week and a half, but that's how it is currently and the sooner you make peace with that, the sooner you will get there.
And if some sort of miracle happens and YoshiP decide to give us some love, if you already farmed all that gear, you're going to laugh at those DL PLD.
