Do Warriors have any single disadvantage?

@ Giantbane

What your saying is completely correct and my statements were actually not to the contrary. We are actually saying the same thing, except I was talking about just damage received numbers and you were talking about damage received % equivalence to total HP or how it equates to eHP.

So really everybody is technically correct with what they said, just many, myself included, were perhaps not as clear as they could have been.

Riffing off of your math example.

Example showing what I was saying.
12500 X .48 = 6000 damage taken
Which results in the same as what you were saying.
(12500 X.8=10000)x.6=6000

The .48 that I got for the multiplier is from adding together the 20% from ShO to the effective additional 32% from Sentinel (which is 20% less than the 40% in the description) to get the stated combined total of effective 52% reduction to damage received.

Yet when you look at it from the totality of what damage received equates to in eHP, they equal out.

PLD: 10000hp - 6000hp = 4000hp = 40% of total HP.
WAR: 12500hp-(12500x.6=7500)= 5000hp = 40% of total HP.

Point being, as I said both sides of this debate are correct as there is no debate since we are actually all saying the same thing in different ways with different focus on different numbers.

P.S. the reason I said the percents given in the descriptions could be deceptive is that they could be seen as an additional 40% (or whatever %). I have seen many people make this mistake. To those that know they are multiplicative and know how to calculate them, they are of course not really deceptive.

P.P.S. I just used sentinel's 40% reduction as an equitable baseline for the math.
