It's like people missed out on the last 8 months of 1.0's existence. CC 17 minute was infinitely easier at Chimera with PLD, Ifrit Extreme was done with a paladin and Van Darnus hard was done with a Paladin. (I haven't even seen a Raven Nevermore run done with a warrior tank). Garuda was easier with a Paladin as well.

Really the only end-game situation that warranted a warrior was a AV 17 minute run and even then it really came down to preference.

The thing that pisses me off about a thread like this is that the myriad voices of the uninformed are drowning out those who actually participated in the actual end-game content and are crying for changes to PLD. The fact of the matter is if PLD were/was buffed anymore nobody would have used warrior for anything except farming trash in Nat.
That is 3 content where PLD shines and only on the bosses, but for everything else, WAR.
