Square Enix, Please hear my humble petition about Tanks Balance

[SargentToughie]

So if damage is equal between PLD and WAR, why in the hell would anyone bring a WAR? PLD has Clemency, Passage of Arms, Cover, Intervention, and Divine Veil. While WAR brings....a slashing debuff any SAM/NIN already applies. You can't balance out DPS between tanks but forget one has a massive utility lead over the others. That's the opposite of balanced.

Not to even mention complexity of play.

Paladin hits max DPS by rotating two buffs and mashing five keys. Warrior has to go through this whole huge flowchart and pray to god that no mechanics happen otherwise it all goes to hell.

For the same damage output.

EDIT: To all these obnoxious PLD players who keep saying that all 3 tanks are fine. I challenge you to go level WAR to 70, play both tanks through a few Expert Roulettes, and then come back and be able to still say that with a straight face.

Hold on a moment. For YEARS people have bashed PLD as being the beginner tank, the simple tank, tanking easy mode, and all manner of insults belittling PLD, but now you're saying that it's unfair because PLD is easier? Make up your minds people, either it's a good thing, or not.

So in your mind the tank with the best damage and the best utility should also be the easiest to play?
