XIV WAR Tanking - Baseline Mitigation and PLD comparison

[Hachiko]

Not sure why people are now arguing about warrior viability. Anyone can be carried through content given enough effort by the other party members.

The biggest thing isn't that playing a WAR isn't just more effort on the part of the WAR, like many people seem to insist.

The fact of the matter is that playing a WAR doesn't show off your skill as a WAR. It shows off the skill of the rest of your party. The weaknesses of the WAR don't even fall that heavily on the WAR when it comes to endgame. It falls on everyone else.

The WARs who are complaining aren't complaining because they want it to be easier for them. They are complaining because they don't like being a handicap for the rest of their party.

P.S. WAR is clearly not viable for all content. It's only viable as an "off tank" with more effort than would be required for a PLD "off tank." So claiming that WAR is viable for all the content in the game is no more accurate than saying a healer in ilvl 40 equipment is viable for Titan as long as everyone else has relics and ilvl 70 gear.
