Paladin vs Warrior - ARR better set roles!

[Reika]

As a PLD main, there were only 2 (or 4 depending on what you count) instances where I was asked to Tank: CC and Darnus. CC for Princess/Marshal, and Chimera, and Darnusfor well, Darnus. Even then Princess/Marshal could be done with 2 WARs. Everything PLD could do, WAR could do better. I was decently geared, had Hamlet armor, and the WARs in the LS had around 1000+ more HP, I could get around 3200-3500HP and WARs had 4500+ without Darklight.

Could make PLD Defense onry. Give them a bunch of defense abilities and maybe a couple of offensive abilities.

Make WAR dual purpose: ATK and DEF. However, give them stances, so like they can't have both at the same time. Defensive stance increases DEF but cripples ATK, while ATK Stance buffs damage but cripples their DEF ability. Since PLD specializes in DEF, give them a better tanking ability than WAR. WARs can do either, They have higher attack than a PLD, but less DEF.

Specialists should ALWAYS be better at what they do over a Jack-Of-All-Trades. PLD is the Specialist while WAR is a Jack of all trades.

Similar to the Defender skill, which they removed, and Berzerk skill, which didnt work as well as people liked... I really liked the Focus Defense skill (forget what it was called) that Gladiator got that increased your defense against your target and reduced defense against all others.

But you must have one stance active at all times. Another thing was WAR was broken with that one crazy HP tap thing they did. Activate that and use Whirlwind or whatever in CC and boom! Full HP and a shitton of aggro. BRO-KEN!

Yea, I touched on that in a different thread. That HP drain should have been restricted to MRD and used for soloing imo, or nerfed for warrior and better for MRD. They really dont have a Defender skill anymore tho. Rampage does not negatively impact offensive capability at all, in fact it increases it it with increased attack speed and the ability to gain HP from critical hits. Thats one of the flaws.
