Tanking - WAR and PLD. There is no "Better".

I'm sorry, but you're just wrong about pretty much everything you said.

[HeiZei]

Paladin is better.

So you believe that being a PLD instantly makes you a tank and that fates are enough to teach you your class? Did you even read my post? lol

I think main tanking Coil turns 1-4 for the past month makes me a tank, and no one has said a thing about FATEs. Do you even tank?

By your logic I too am a tank as I've tanked coil and titan HM as a warrior for the past month. Main tank. also that comment you quoted was not directed at you.

[Gingen]

Lol why is it so hard for people to accept that both warrior and paladin are equally useful and it comes down to preference?

The only serious comment that I'll give towards you as to why Paladins are the better tanks is this: From personal experiences doing HM Primals on my BLM, Warrior tanks cannot hold enough enmity required for the amount of heals they need. A Paladin never loses aggro to a WHM, unless he is unskilled or lazy. A Warrior almost always loses aggro to a WHM, not because he is unskilled or lazy, but because a WHM is forced to heal a Warrior much more. Throw in the fact that Paladins have higher parry, shield block, and more defensive cooldowns, there is no question as to who is the better "tank".

I have a hard time believing this as I've never lost hate to a healer or DPS in my time playing this game as a warrior tank.

This thread is not about warrior is better than paladin. Both are equally viable. To judge that warrior is inferior clearly shows that those who say such things, have never played warrior tank seriously lol

Well, you heard it here first, Warriors. All that complaining that you've done the past couple months? Nonsense. You just aren't playing your class seriously enough. Quit crying and go tank Titan HM now. Seriously. With a seriousness that can only be achieved by climbing the most serious of serious mountains. Then, and only then, will you be as enlightened as our dear friend Gingen.

My apologies, I've clearly been mistaken this whole time.

Ure so wrong pally is a better tank so far... Because of their tanking spell.. I am a WARRIOR and I tank coil of bahamut till turn 5. I still said warrior poor than pally... It feel so much pain and tanking 2 dreadnaught is impossible . Feel free to see to watch my video every turn in coil at kaos-guild.enjin.com. Don't just talk.. Down the boss urself then talk to me as a main tank warrior. Do it .. talk less
