I've been reading a lot of threads about WAR's being stupid OP at the moment, and would like to give my input.

According to the previous DPS parsing thread:

WAR - 1000 DPS
DRK - 970 DPS
PLD - 940 DPS

Clearly, WAR DPS is the highest (I didn't see that to be a surprise, they've usually been the damage dealing off tanks).

What about healing?

WAR - Equilibrium, 1.2k pot heal. Can only be cast on SELF. Plus Bloodbath and SE combo and IB.
DRK - Many moves for active regeneration, such as DA+Souleater, DA+AD.
PLD - Clemency, 1.2k pot heal. Can be cast on anyone, 600 potency heal on the PLD if used to restore a party member's health.

"But we can't use Clemency while being smashed on!"

Shield Bash -> Cast Clemency

Sure, warrior's can use their Equi for TP, but only in deliverance (requires a stance swap if you're tanking) and if you're OT'ing, like you should be, you kind of need it.

TP management:

WAR's win lol. But they're DESIGNED to be damage dealing OT's!
