Strength Tanks and You.

Yeah, there's that, too. He/She is a WAR, and I'm trying to compute what he's/she's saying from a PLD perspective. Still, I recall SwO PLDs being not that far behind from WAR pre-3.0. Are Fell Cleave and Deliverance THAT good ? The nerf bat is definitely eventually coming to them if that is the case.

It's good, and makes for some great OT spike damage, but PLD's higher potency normal combos and access to one of the best DoTs in the game end up evening things out over longer durations. In an OT situation, WAR will end up edging PLD out by a bit, but not to any degree that could be considered overpowered. People really tend to underestimate PLD's potential damage output. The only tank that's really lacking in OT damage potential is DRK. But that class is awful in every aspect concerned with OT, and should never actually be considered for that role anyway.
