War tanking tips on Cad

[Solduios]

Hahaha 7 stacks... Dreams? WAR/PLD here as well, my WAR is at 8021 HP and at 5 stacks a well timed Hood/Auto will 2 shot you before a healer can even react. If you can bring 2 PLD to coil currently, you do, there is no reason to shoot yourself in the foot and bring a WAR. WAR works fine in turn 2 because you can't block/parry/dodge the ADS nodes or ADS himself so the tanks even out a bit, but lacking Hallowed does kinda stink, nice to eliminate 20s of tank healing if you chain halloweds with two PLDs.

I really don't understand where the idea that WARs out DPS PLDs came from, because they do not. Have a WAR, not in defiance, and a PLD in Sword Oath stand next to each other and DPS dummies, PLD will out DPS WAR, it's easy enough to swap stances as a PLD when the DPS is needed. I usually go WAR for turn 4 anyways, but I do miss Circle of Scorn for the off GCD AoE snag.

Maybe a fail war gets out dps by pld ... our war w/o tank stance is doing 220 dps.

He also tanked snake clone up to 5 stacks since our strategy was straight burn and dont feed slimes... PLD only tank better than war when their cool downs are up if they are down as a healer I prefer war with bigger hp pool less chance of dying from rng crits plus they can IB which is helpful after large hits.
