Tank Carbuncle would disagree...

WAR Single Target Enmity Rotation is the Butcher's Block Combo. If a WAR just spams that, they'll generate more threat than a PLD who is spamming their Rage of Halone Combo.

The problem is that a WAR's combo at endgame is Butchers Block combo (for enmity), along with a Maim > Storm's Path (for enemy damage reduction) and Maim > Storm's Eye (for the slashing damage resistance debuff) and occasionally use Inner Beast, which is also on the GCD. Whereas literally all the PLD has to do is spam the Rage of Halone Combo and pop off-GCD buffs unless they feel the need to inflict Blind, Stun or Pacify.

Equally-geared, a PLD will hold threat over a WAR on Single-targets as long as the WAR is keeping up Storm's Eye and Storm's Path. If the WAR is STR stacked and the PLD is VIT stacked, it will be a lot closer and the WAR may inch ahead. However if the PLD is in Sword Oath, the WAR will be at another (slight) disadvantage.

Honestly, the two are very close currently in terms of performance. As a PLD, I'm happy where WAR is at right now - if I'm in a party with a WAR then I know we'll generally have an easier time than if I was in a party with another PLD
