WAR puts out far greater DPS in tanking stance.

They are equal in DPS as OTs, BUT that assumes a WAR MT keeping up SE for the PLD.

For DPS:

MT WAR OT PLD = MT WAR OT WAR >> MT PLD OT WAR >> MT PLD OT PLD

Solo WAR >> Solo PLD

PLD has the short end of the DPS stick, especially since it relies on a WAR debuff to compete. Most of players perceptions of PLD being a superior OT are based on a single T8 parse from a JP group that had the PLD at 350 DPS. Until there is more evidence of PLDs doing 350ish DPS, WARs will have the edge since there are dozens of WAR parses in the 330-350 range on all types of content.
