Think you're missunderstanding since you prove my point, didn't want to bring up Ninja job since not sure everyone is FFXI vet :-) Both PLD and NIN was used as tanks but not designed or rather used to tank the same mobs/events. Ninja on Odin? Nono. Ninja in Dynamis nono Etc.. Ninja on Ultima/Omega - Yes. Good at different things. Prob the same thing here in FFXIV with PLD and WAR, only out 1 month, give it 6-10 months and ppl will prob figure out events where WAR is better than PLD, who knows what crystal tower entails, hopefully a combination of WAR and PLD is optimal.
