Paladin vs Warrior - ARR better set roles!

[Molly_Millions]

At the end everything I did it was Warrior. Every dungeon it was ask for a warrior, Garuda, King Moogle, Ifrit was ask for a warrior. The only battle I did not see a warrior all the time maybe 50/50 was Raven. The only one for sure that was ask for a Paladin that I ever did was Hamlet Defense since Paladin could heal himself.

PLD definitely wasn't unwanted though. Most groups on Balmung used PLD in Garuda fights and Cutter's Cry. Even for moogles a lot of people used PLD over WAR. Just because you didn't want to use PLD doesn't make it useless or unwanted.

he was right though, no matter if a group uses PLD over WAR or the otherway around, the base stats for WAR are TOO similar to PLD, WAR would play out better with more crowd control abilitys, and a bit less DEF then PLD, imo it should be like this... PLD-tank,WAR-crowd/DD, then DDs, then Mages, but thats just my humble opinion.

as far as picking WAR over PLD, i dont know how they did it in your server, but the OP is right, WAR overall is used more then PLD, if PLD is used for cc,garuda, moogle ... the point is it should be used for tanking 90% of the content.. not a few here and there, just saying give PLD Tanking more boost then WARs, then introduce a second tanking class later to spice things up..
