WAR < PLD - Relatively Small Difference

[Ryios]

Warrior can do coil just fine, but if you think your going to tank coil in hoplite gear, don't waste your time. I didn't get turn 1 down until I finished my DL pants and AF2 helm. So Relic, 2 pieces of AF2, and Full DL Everything else. At that point warrior becomes a LOT better. They have a higher gear check for sure. But even paladin has a high gear check. Warriors are better than Paladin's if the paladin is out of cooldowns, which can and does happen. When the pld's cooldowns are down, it's nice to have a warrior be able to provoke it off and pop his crap and soak up some dmg.

But how is that better than just having a second pld to switch in when the other pld is out of CD's? Sort of confused on what fight you are referring to, and where you would have two tanks where only one is tanking anything or are you talking about bringing 3 tanks? lol.

I dunno, me personally I am not all about maximum efficiency and all that stuff. Sometimes, having flavor and such makes a run more fun and enjoyable. I play a PLD, so having a WAR next to me is more flavorful than having someone doing the same thing (or similar) to me. I am not saying that you are wrong, but its not always about being better, at least IMO.

ROFL AMYAS back! one of them warrior who doesnt have relic yet means no titan hm and zero experience in coil as warrior DD still using wanderer palace as an endgame example?ROFL jokes on you Mr. WandererFarmer

You know what makes me ROFL? All the people who read other people's theory work and then think they know everything about anything because they read someone else's parsing.

Turn 2, tanks taunt off each other. 2 Paladins is fine, but so is 1 pld and 1 war.

And for myself, it's irrelevant. I have war and pld leveled up. My pld has garuda wep and the alagan shield from turn 1 and full DL except for chest/head. My warrior has relic and af2 helm and af2 chest. So I can switch out if needed as needed, but my FC prefers me to go on war so I haven't switched out yet. On slimes on turn 1 I can down them and feed fast enough without taking dps off the boss and I dont get hit as hard as a brd grabbing slimes. Warrior stun is also great for those O'Shit scenarios where your pld is stuck mid GCD and can't get their stun off in time.

Turn 2, 2 paladins is great for the silences because the silence is off the GCD, but we were trying it with a pld, brd, mnk. I just provoked off at 4 stacks and stayed out of red crosses.
