Not really o.o WAR takes more dmg. Thats why its HP pool is bigger. And not to be rude but you probably have an easier time on WAR because you are better at WAR, and not as good with PLD. That may be because of some mechanics of the class, or it could just be you. And no matter how you slice it a PLD is easier to heal than a WAR, so I have no idea what those WHMs are thinking. That PLD must not be healing himself because he ran out of mp, which is why they invented ethers lol. PLD should use them and try again!

But really, PLD = less healing. PLD = less dmg. The benefits of a WAR tank are purely about enmity and damage dealt. More room to wait for heals is just incorrect, because it drops farther than on a PLD. On top of that, a WAR can only heal itself with crits, which is much less reliable than PLD self-healing/blocks/etc etc.
