PLD Negotiation (Vs WAR)

[Leiron]

Either way. it's making the class with the highest hp also have the same or near the same damage mitigation as the PLD.

False.
Why?
Math

Shield oath= 20% mitigation
1/.8 = 1.25

Defiance= 25% hp buff

1.25 = 25% more hp = Shield Oath provides equivalent eHP to Defiance.
Another note

Shield oath provides a 25% indirect Healing bonus.
25% HP + 20% healing bonus < 25%hp + 25% healing bonus.
Defiance is behind.
Learn to math.

PLD doesn't have near as much hp or str as a WAR does, and the damage mitigation was the only thing that made up for it stat wise.

False, Paladin strength is very close.
Paladin eHP is higher than a War.
Base Hp is slightly lower b about 40 or so.

Math> you.

WAR aren't Under powered. People just didn't want to be a WAR because they thought it was going to be a DPS class when it first came out.

Wow you're better than Miss Cleo.
You can read people's minds and figure out exactly why they play a spec.
Oh wait no, you're just ignorant.

Please explain

Please explain

Due to a PLD's built in 20% DR a PLD's hit points are effectively worth more than 1.

If a PLD takes a hit for 200 they will take 160 damage (200*.8 = 160). Requiring only a heal of 160 to fully mend the damage from a 200 damage attack. Hense the "effective" healing bonus.

Please explain

Zoomie already covered it, which you promptly declared as wrong without any attempt to make refutation of the logic other than just asserting your argument.
So why am I going to bother with someone who has no intent of changing their mind in the first place?

My calculation is correct.
