XIV WAR Tanking - Baseline Mitigation and PLD comparison

[Terabyt3]

What I don't get is people who complain that WARs self-heals don't scale with oncoming damage but then turn people away from doing things that would go toward self healing by saying if they don't put as much HP on their bar as possible they're doing it wrong.

If you want the self-heals to keep going up, you have to put in the stats and the gear to do that. It's not something that just happens. You get out of self healing what you put into it. =/

Even then your self heals are a fixed value. And your PRIME source of mitigation.

PLD's will always vary being % based rather than fixed.

The only problem with not having the HP pool if you increase the risk of dying before getting the chance to self heal. That's why wars have the bigger hp pool. We gotta take the hit BEFORE we mitigate it. Whereas PLD's mitigate it as it hits.
