And again, it's not easy for them to hit 5K. DL isn't hard to get, no, but it takes awhile to get decked out in complete DL. So no, it's not easy for them to hit 5K or greater.
First off, no, you're wrong about mitigation and prevention. 100% mitigation is prevention, but that doesn't mean it's no longer mitigation. But why you resort to arguing semantics is beyond me anyway.

Point two, hitting 5k hp on a PLD is extremely easy. 3 DL Jewelry, 3 DL armor, and the rest AK will probably be well over 5k. Fully decked out is ~5500 HP outside of a group and ~5600 in a group, depending on your race.

Point three, WAR does not have (significantly) higher HP. They have 85 more HP base. Once in defiance a WAR will have 25% more HP. Once in shield oath, a PLD will have 25% more HP. Either way they will have the same EHP assuming both have the same gear. Unless you're talking about a PLD in sword oath then yeah, they will have less but they will also have more DPS.

I think it's funny that an AF1 Dragoon thinks he knows something about other classes though.
