Every parse I've seen has a PLD with more dodges, and the only way you can even say that WAR has more "avoidance" than a PLD is because they have Featherfoot which is a 15 second 15% evasion cooldown. If you think that makes the WAR an avoidance tank you need to go back to MMO school or something.

    Second, LOL@ WAR putting out 250 DPS in defiance. I mean, you are welcome to join us back in reality whenever you want. a WAR pulling 250 DPS in defiance would pull ~320-330 DPS outside of defiance, and yeah, that would put them as a contender for top DPS, even over pretty much any DPS job. Even then, you will never see a tank able to "pick up a boss" if necessary doing remotely close to that much damage. Even if it were possible it would only be possible with full Darklight or Better DPS accessories, and that would leave you at about a 800-1000 HP deficit.

    And finally, WAR is not successfully MTing up to turn 5 "and beyond". They are OTing up to turn 4 and then switching jobs to a non-tank for Turn 5.

    SE will change their stance once tanks in COIL are 95% PLD and 5% WAR, and the PLD running groups are on average 2 turns ahead of the ones running WAR. There was already a huge imbalance in the number of PLD:WAR. This is only going to put more WAR on the back burner.
    We are an avoidance based tank because we have no ability to block and block is king. Now until people show us apple to apple real word parses of a Warrior and Paladin in the same ilvl gear in the same sceanrios, no one is going to believe anyones hyperthectical based assumptions and theroy crafting math.

    I've seen some parses of Warriors doing upwards of 190 - 210 dps in Defiance stance, why is this surprising for you? I've seen Paladins doing 150 - 170 dps also, I don't see the issue here that you are refering too.

    Knee jerk posts are never a good thing, helps to read, although I know alot of people seem to have trouble fully grasping logical posts that don't have numbers to crunch.

    Are you refering to the minority of player base that is actually even doing Coil that has sat Warriors on the back burner as you so kindly put it? Hmmmm yes, I agree, SE is clearly going to listen to less then 1% of thier player base..../rollseyes and on that note, you still haven't proven that Warriors are completely incapable of doing it, as many others have and keep doing almost daily.

    As I said before, the company you keep ingame is your own choice and if they feel you aren't cutting the mustard or willing to help devise new plans of attack, then maybe you are with the wrong people OR maybe you would like to revisit your own ability to play a Warrior? Just stating the obvious.
