Pld buff or War nerf in 1.22?

[Enfarious]

Yes, let's only focus on the base damage and ingore the delay, weaponskills, all other class/job abilities and the fact that a tanking War is not able to fully gear towards damage dealing, because he's in tanking gear.

Grats Pld btw on the block increase towards higher level mobs.

This is why I said, "POTENTIAL" because well a WAR geared to DD out parses the other DDs, I think I mentioned that part tho, if a PLD were a functional tank and a WAR MNK and DRG went nuts, the WAR would have numbers that more than rivaled the other 2. Again though because no one gears WAR for DDing and none of the truly punishing combos that WAR can perform get utilized yeah they're DPS is gimped.
Do the math run the numbers parse it out, when a WAR is geared for DDing and DDing they win. When they tank they win. No one can argue those points, it's like saying 1+1 == 14.

On the update though, hey maybe, depending on how large of a change it is PLD might be able to crawl up out of the hole it's been in. I'm hoping that blocked dmg is now 50%+ with activiation being substantially increased, I'd like to get PLD finished so's I can tank Garuda a time or 5 this weekend. ... And not be garbage while doing it ^^

Your point is very true... but one minor correction, people do gear WAR for DPS and use all of its combos... I do on Myrmidon Princess and you're right... it OWNS

Sometimes I even gear it for DPS while main tanking Morbol (Where hate is a much bigger issue than the need for defense or HP), although in that case I don't get to use all of it's awesome combos

In fact... From what I've found... WAR is the EASIEST class to get 350 STR and 310 VIT on (VIT being the secondary damage stat)... with room to spare for ACC and ATK accessories
The only thing limiting a DPS warrior is enmity reduction abilities.. which I guess is good... or else WAR would be way too OP...
If you are going DPS on WAR, just don't forget your Nerve Drops

But the point is that people are argueing that WAR does damage equal to real DD and tank at the same time, which is not true.

And a geared WAR for dd still doesn't out parse the other dd, go parse that out yourself, I did.
