Is it time for SE to give PLDs a good bump in terms of DPS?

[Dualblade]

From what I've heard about WAR versus PLD, isn't there usually a difference in actual HP amounts? If not then nix what I said; apparently HP tanking as a class feature is something that happens in other MMOs and not so much here.

And to make sure I'm on the same page as you, does "eHP" mean "effective HP?" Not a term I'm too familiar with, so I wanted to make sure.

Paladin's have a lot more mitigation, so something that hits a WAR for 5k is going to do a bit less to PLD's outside of certain abilities that always do the same amount of damage (and usually those just plain wipe you no matter what anyways.) A PLD with 7k health, if he changed over to WAR with the exact same gear set-up, would have about upper 8-lower9k health with Defiance on. Your WAR example there would have had the PLD with 9k health, and this enough mitigation to survive that damage.
