Paladin vs Warrior - ARR better set roles!

[FedeMax]

I always saw Warrior as an AOE tank (high health, aoe weapon skill) while the Paladin was a solo tank (flash, whatever else they use) with much higher single target threat generation on single target monsters.

Maybe I'm wrong.

That is why I would like to see PLD with higher HP than WAR and AOE Provoke skills, he can round all of the Mobs and keep the hate while the rest of the party can go DD crazy. WAR can get in there and do massive AOE damage while PLD just hold the Mobs.

You're killing off Warrior tanks that why. Why should someone have to play a Paladin just because they want to tank?

Why should anyone play WHM if they want to heal, why should anyone DRG if the want to melee, some jobs can only do that which PLD is one. WAR can would still tank if there was not a PLD avaliable just to a less degree in emity control and defense.

Currently as of 1.0 PLD could only tank and only solo tank, while WAR could DD, AOE DD, single tank and AOE tank. Other than endgame content PLD was useless and unwanted for WAR AOE dps and fast kill while WHM spam cures. Just trying to thinking of normal content senerios where PLD and WAR can be use together.

Because that's how the game was made. Just because WHM is the only healer at the moment doesn't mean that it will be in the future. You play Dragoon because you want to play Dragoon, it's not the only melee class in the game.

The best Paladin in the world could out tank the best Warrior in the world on single target because that's what Paladin is meant to do. Paladin isn't meant to be an AOE tank, and giving them the abilities to do so would just mess the game up in the future once they bring in more support/CC classes... Why CC if you can just burn everything down? The game will just turn into World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.
