XIV WAR Tanking - Baseline Mitigation and PLD comparison

[Terabyt3]

the higher hp pool is only there to allow us to take a hit and THEN recover.

i cant even be botehred to argue this point any longer. No one cares how many turns youve downed there is more strain on healers and DPS IS THE SAME. go do teh maths and run some parser tests mate. just cause we have big axes does mean we're a dps.

PLD shield oath is your answer to lower dps? Are you special? Read the tooltip for defiance mate. then Shield oath. Then give yourself a slap.



Regardless of how you compare above 450~ incoming dps paladin is better. PLD's mitigation scales. WARs does not. It's basic mathematics.

No one said coils or content are inpossible so stop with the d**k swinging.

Edit: See post #44 if you're having trouble accepting this Vahn. It put it in simplest terms. There is a point where PLD becomes a better tank than WAR. That point is somewhere before Titan HM. Numbers can't lie bud and the numbers show the diference between static mitigation and scaling mitigation.
