It isn't manageable "to your liking". Your basis for it being bad is entirely based upon your opinion of its potential negative effect. Based on your gearing you've obviously succeed in tanking at least up to turn 4. It sounds to me like you've managed it thus far and somethings tells me that when CT comes you'll do just fine.

This statement has no basis in this thread what so ever. Not to mention the fact that 2.1 warrior changes are in no way "necessary". SE has chosen to buff warriors instead of nerfing PLD's are that would set the community back and that's a bad idea. 2.0 warriors are fine... its the PLD's that are unintentionally strong, this has been stated many many times by Yoshi and SE.

Since this entire thread is based upon your perceived and theoretical problem with being pacified on content we know nothing about then its equally possible that if a PLD uses Spirits Within as a threat gen ability on new content that said enemy will cast something that HAS to be interrupted immediately after or god forbid said enemy explode and delete all characters on the server as that was an unknown mechanic and result of silencing said enemy. See my point? When we're dealing with 'what if" and "maybe" on new content then anything is possible so what's the point of even talking about it?

Again this statement has no basis in this thread and based upon how you argue something that is entirely you opinion, like this topic, I have no desire to even discuss PLD vs WAR with you.
