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

[Paikis]

Anything a PLD can tank with sword oath on is content that is massively out-geared. For things that matter, the PLD will have shield oath on, the WAR will have defiance active, and the WAR will out-DPS and out-threat the PLD all day long.

You can maths this, and theory-craft that all you like. At the end of the day though, I haven't yet met a PLD that could keep hate off me when I want it. My raid uses me (WAR) and a PLD to tank coil and the parser I use shows me a solid 20-40% (depending on the fight) ahead of the PLD in my raid. I can't count the number of times I have pulled threat accidentally on ADS and adds because I wasn't paying attention and used Butcher's Block instead of Storm's Eye. Rips it right off him in 1-3 combos, no matter what. You can't even try to tell me that he's just bad, because honestly, you CANT screw up the Rage of Halone combo.

^ This all day long.

Maths holds no ground in real time, ever.

Is this the PLD in your FC that you're referring to?

Quoted for truth. I rip hate off our paladins left and right. It's so incredibly easy.
