Minor tank balancing ideas. (WAR & PLD)

Well, i was merely comparing their AoE crowd control abilities which it certainly is undeniable that WAR has a greater repertoire of crowd control skills

PLD's CDs reduces damage taken but does not replenish lost HP, more than often, I can recover the HP lost as a WAR by the use of ToB>Bb>SC>Infuriate>SC it is again undeniable that WARs are better for crowd control and being able to self-sustain in that situation

Even with a WAR as OT to apply Storm's Path, the PLD still does not enjoy 25% increase of max HP and does not have access to HP recovery skills and we all know that even 100 hp can mean the difference between a dead tank or a live one, therefore the obvious choice for WARs to MT in T5

PLD's CDs are far too long to be constantly kept up for damage mitigation, damage mitigation only works when it is used before the damage was dealt not after the fact. In the event that Twintania does a 6K DS followed by a 1.2k scratch after 1 second, a PLD that isn't at full health will most likely fall but a WAR will still remain standing as during that 1 second, a WAR can pop ToB to survive the scratch.

Rampart and Sentinel cannot be kept up perpetually but WAR's damage mitigation can be kept up perpetually, this is again undeniable and I'm sure you'd agree.

Hallowed Ground is great for that oh shit moment but the long cast animation makes it not very useful, Bulwark, increases block rate of shields but the fact that its not a guaranteed damage mitigation makes it risky to be used as primary damage mitigation.

Warrior can cross-class Internal Release, Second Wind, Convalescence, Feather Foot, Awareness.

There is a difference and this is from my personal experience playing both at i90 although admittedly PLDs are still a tad harder than WARs and easier to play but if a player knows what he is doing, a WAR can easily be the more capable tank
