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

[CrashOkami]

I am concerned about the actual hard content, namely twintania, on which the new warrior will be flat out better than a paladin with a ~20 sec cd 20% mitigation buff.

While that's true given the current information, I don't believe "balancing the classes" means "giving power to one class". Changes to the Paladin and other classes are most likely coming together with the Warrior changes. If not, I can see a problem rising with constant patches that change this and that to all classes, all the time.

For how one-sided things have been, yeah. WAR only goes to stuff if you don't have PLD available, or you're with people that don't mind. I play both, and it's annoying that even though I'm better on WAR, and have better gear, I'm still less useful compared to PLD. Their only other option would be to nerf PLD, which would make content harder and make everyone angry, on top of PLD's throwing fits because their class isn't as good. Half this thread is PLD's saying how stupid it is that WAR is on par with them now. I'll be happy when I don't get written off automatically as a bad choice for groups because I'm a WAR. How often do you think WAR is in Twintania? It's a whole lot of PLD complaints summing up to "BUT I'M THE MAIN TANK. THAT'S HOW IT WORKS. NOBODY ELSE ALLOWED."

Everything but; I wanna start a Warrior after my Paladin is maxed out, I've already created the character even to ensure name availability. Well, hoping the patch balances everything out at once, so the team can work on bringing over classes from XI like Samurai etc instead of spending more time balancing
