Yoshi P talks about Warriors- from Producer Letter Live @ TGS

Any idea why your PLD's auto-attack DPS is almost half as high as the WAR's auto-attack? If all equipment is equal, 10 more strength will not increase auto-attack DPS by +80%.

The auto-attack raw damage looks strange as well. The only way I was able to reproduce ~50 raw damage per auto-attack in Shield Oath was by using the grand company weapon.

Edit: n/m, i just noticed the reason. You said your WAR has 5800 HP in defiance. Your PLD has 5400 HP in Shield Oath. In other words, your WAR was decked out in DPS gear. I'm not sure what conclusion you can come up with, with that kind of testing.
