    1, any content a paladin can tank, a warrior will be able to do. What that means is, where ever a paladin can go a warrior can go. The are warriors on turn 4 of coil and survive just fine.
    There are no Warriors who have main tanked coil turn 4.

    I never said Main tank. Maybe I didn't come across clear, I saying that a warrior in theory would be able to complete all content. Which they HAVE so far.

    Also I see I'm wrong about that turn and I'm sorry in general. I thought it was turn 1.

    But anyhoo on to the next thing.


    One very simple way at looking at this is, if a boss is doing 1000 DPS and the Warrior takes 950 HPS to keep up, while the Paladin only has to take 680 HPS, but the healer is capable of putting out 1500+ HPS, whats the issue? All that happens here is the amount of healing done per mana spent is maximized on a Warrior where it is not wasted as it would be on a Paladin where it would fall to overhealing.
    The problem is like a above poster mentioned... is stress to healers. I even have a story. I was main tanking Titan HM, and I was able to get to 10% health of Titan hm. Everytime I wiped, it was due to the healers dying first. They were concentraiting on keeping me alive and less about their own survival. The same healers when I was used as a dps / off tank one shot titan using a paladin. The paladin health never droped beneath 70% 60% worst hits of MT buster. And the healers could focus on other things like living. They flat out told me that my tanking was good it just was they couldn't focus enough to heal all that more damage and keep dodging. While yes a war doesn't have mitigation, its absolute bullshit square that we make healers work harder at all.

    We do have mitigation it's just reactive instead of proactive. We self heal.

    It's not bulls**t that we make healers work harder. OFC we do once our mitigation is not as effective as a PLD's. See my above post.

    At a certain point we DO require more healing as our form of mitigation is not as effective beyond that point.

    Lol might wanna reword your post then bud. You just said it was bullsh** that we make healers work harder. Implying that it is a lie.

    Unless of course you meant bullsh** in that it is unfair. Either way it's not very clear
