Solution to WAR problem is to nerf PLD

Hint: Maybe you should find the posts by Yoshi himself saying exactly what I have said. They thought Crystal Tower would have been ready but it wasn't. I'm not making things yup or speculating like you are. These are facts from the developers themselves.

Yeah it's not ready, so we don't know what changes are going to be made. They could have gear drop for War that puts it on the same level as PLD. Tweaking a game that's only in the first month of launch leads to huge problems later on. By adjusting it now for the current content, then they'll have to keep adjusting other classes to meet that content.

The whole point of class balance is that throughout the game it says even, otherwise they ping pong with buffs and nerfs. I agree War needs some tweaks, but to demand them right now is stupid since the game is still in its infancy. But to demand a nerf to PLD is also dumb. Nerfs are meant when the mechanics of a game largely favor a class. Mechanics, not play style. They are not one and the same.

They can't have gear drop for WAR that puts them on the same level as PLD though, unless they completely throw balance to the wind. In order for WAR self heals to come close to being on the same level as PLD mitigation for endgame, WAR's would have to be doing ~250-300 DPS themselves.

Unless there is an ilvl 80 axe that has 92 damage on it that drops in CT, there is no way WAR is even going to approach being on the same level as a PLD even when adding in CT gear.

Actual we do know the changes. They have been pretty clear that Crystal Tower will drop gear intended to allow you to progress through Coil.
