PLD any better than WAR?

[Lemuria]

First of all, if you are hitting for that little you must be specced 30 VIT, wearing VIT accessories and not keeping up Maim/Storm's Eye.

Well, yes, I am set up using Vitality and using Vitality gear. What did you expect? I'm playing a tank, not a DPS. Warrior's strength is their high HP, so it seems rather counter-productive to go neglecting one of their most important stats. VIT accessories also grant parry which, since Warrior's can't use shields, gives a nice damage reduction. Also, Storms Eye works for one target per combo, so it's not very helpful against crowds.

The bonus damage to IB seems like a lost cause if it means you have to cut your survivability in half.
