Warrior "buff" in 2.1: not what we are expecting?

[Gamemako]

I could have sworn Yoshi said that instead of nerfing content or PLD, they'd be buffing (adjusting) WAR. A single PLD can tank Cadecus... something that wasn't intended.

Explicitly so. Amazingly, despite it being quoted to him several times in the past, Taemek still hasn't read it. Here's Reinhart's translation again:

y; people are saying war is weak so I wanted to go over that
y; people are comparing war to pld, the main part is the bahamut 1 and 4
y; this is our miss, and I apologize, the boss monster has buffs
y; once the boss has 3 buffs stacked up the tank won’t be able to pass
y; it’s set up that way
y; but PLD is able to live through it and that wasn’t supposed to be that way
y; PLD was able to pass that, and we’re talking about what to do this
y; changing the system isn’t good, so we have to make it where WAR can do what PLD can do
y; so we’ll make it where WAR can be good here as well
y; I went to Ifrit HM with WHM, tank needs to stop everything
y; they need to stop eruption and all that so I think it’s really hard to tank
y; the plan we had for Brutal Swing which uses GCD and PLD can use over
y; so it takes longer to use, so we’ll make adjustments to make it faster
y; people also are testing 2rath and use gensho (english?? the healing one)
y; You should wait for heal before using gensho as you get more heal
y; PLD has high VIT but with WAR you can heal about same amount and if you have wrath on you’ll take much more.
y; if you heal after wrath the buff is gone so you’ll get lower hp
y; how you run through the pattern is really hard
y; for healers if the WAR uses gensho it’s hard to heal
y; for that reason people think WAR is softer tank than PLD
y; so we think this is bit too hard so we’ll be making changes in 2.1
y; we got about 7 topics to change for WAR
y; just because we had the issue where PLD was able to pass the bahamut with this method
y; we need to make these changes now.
y; we won’t make it harder on the content so please don’t worry

Emphases mine. WAR is being buffed and PLD is not being nerfed -- this is stated explicitly, no interpretation needed.

The thing people don't seem to be aware of is, if Warriors were made to be able to tank as efficiently and effectively as a PLD, why would anyone then take a PLD over a Warrior, and then Warriors are in the same predicament as PLD's and getting doubled up on in Coil and any other future content because now we tank as good as PLD's but do more DPS as well in the process, so now PLD's will be here crying nerf Warriors DPS OR buff PLD's to Warriors DPS..... it is a never ending vicious circle... I'm not interested in tanking as good as a PLD because I happen to like my DPS in tank spec and out of tank spec. If that is altered, it defeats the purpose of playing a Warrior unless they can make Warriors have a DPS stance so we can melee DPS also.

WAR has no DPS difference as when not tanking compared to PLD -- they are identical, and this is by design. PLD as OT w/WAR MT is highest single-target damage potential, outstripping 2xWAR. WAR has a fairly small DPS difference that pretty well evaporates with any WAR in the party.

//EDIT:

As for the rest, I had only read a translation and it might have been a rough trans.

The translation is fine.
