PLD feels underwhelming lately

Paladin is still the best SR in Dungeon especially Brayfox because of their many Defense migration and Hallow Ground.

Debatable. Id say warrior triumphs speed runs because you're doing them for speed. A warrior does more AOE damage, and a lot more damage while generating threat. While the paladins flashing and doing no dps, the warrior is berserking IR, maim and using overpower/steel cyclone, causing huge damage, thus making the speed run, speedier. with my dps set i do more damage than most bards. i only think a paladin would be better in a speed run if you had crap gear and really needed the mitigation.

and this debate always gets brought up, and the answer is in the person playing the class. both tanks are really good. warrior is a bit more complex to play, a little more damage (if MTing, OTing as a paladin does more dps), but I do like paladin more when I know Im going to take a shit ton of damage, like when I would solo tank t5 with the snakes, or more recently, on t9 tanking the ghost and nael. could i use warrior on t9 and tank just as effectively, probably, if I got used to it. I use warrior every time on t8 now because thats the way i learned it, because we needed the extra dps at first. id have to learn to play t8 as a paladin if i decided to. i chose paladin for t9 because its what I've played since launch and what I'm more comfortable with. I've seen several videos of people solo tanking t9 with warrior though.

both tanks are very good. each is better at different things, but unanimously, everyone seems to agree that warrior is more fun to play, since you can see some huge hits with berserk up, the different debuffs, and the awesome AOE threat. paladin, to me, is the safer choice, and better for big spike damage. and again, warrior does do better dps while main tanking, by 15-30 dps commonly, but a paladin in sword oath does better damage than a warrior without defiance, thats a fact. warrior is considered the OT king because of the debuffs and the ability to gather adds with ease. i really hate flash spamming with paladin, so boring.

WAR is actually better for predictable spike damage. On demand DR through IB beats RNG block/parry with Rampart and Sentinel being on lengthy CDs (HG is cheating). Paladins are better for dealing with sustained damage since they can block and parry while warriors have only parry.
