Warrior is OP

[Hachiko]

People who don't understand healing mechanics and cry that the tank class is broken...

Edit:

Here, let me help you out because you are obviously the one who has no idea how the mechanics work.

Stoneskin and Cure II both cost 266 MP.

At my gear level (relic & full DL with two pieces of i90) my Cure II heals around 1400 HP.

On a similarly geared Paladin my Stoneskin probably will absorb 900-1k HP depending on how they've spent their attribute points.

On a similarly geared Warrior my Stoneskin will absorb EQUAL if not MORE HP than my Cure II. This makes stoneskin more powerful AND more efficient than Cure II. And I don't have to wait for the damage to happen. Stoneskin mechanics will always be more effective than healing because I can cast it BEFORE the damage happens.

Go play both healer classes if you're going to call me on ignorance of mechanics before you cry that Warrior sucks.

Here is a reality_check for you:

WAR and PLD have THE SAME EFFECTIVE HP.

If a WAR has 4000 base HP and a PLD has 4000 Base HP, in their respective tanking stances you will have a WAR with 5000 HP (4000 * 1.25 from defiance), and a PLD at 4000 base HP w/ 20% reduction, or 5000 base HP.

The 20% reduction effectively works out to a 25% increase in healing efficiency as well.

So if your Cure II heals for 1400 HP, that's an "effective" 1750 healing for a PLD (or rather, your heal essentially mitigates 1750 hp worth of damage).

On a WAR, they will need 9722 HP's to get as much effective mitigation out of stoneskin as your heal is mitigating on the Paladin. I don't yet have all ilvl 90 gear, but I can pretty much guarantee that no one is going to get close to those numbers. For a Stoneskin to be more MP efficient on a WAR than a heal it would depend on how many wrath stacks they have. If your cure II is 1400, that means with 0 wrath you're talking 1400 mitigation, which would require ~7900 HP before stoneskin overtakes it, with the "average" wrath (i.e. dumping inner beast every cooldown) you would need ~8400 HP before stoneskin is more effective than a 1400 base cure II. And with full wrath you would need ~8900 HP befoire stoneskin overtakes cure II.

Oh and how about the Paladin? Stoneskin will have 18% of their HP, but the damage is reduced by 20%. So stoneskin is effectively 25% more efficient. Going back to our little example about 4000 base HP WAR and PLD. Stoneskin on a PLD will be 720 absorb shield, but since damage is reduced to 80%, you end up with 720/.8 = 900. For a WAR stoneskin on 5000 HP is going to be a 900 damage shield. Equally effective on both classes.

So now you're spending more MP per point of HP, and an additional .5 seconds after the GCD in order to cast stoneskin over Cure II, which is only going to be more effective in a situation where you would significantly overheal from Cure II, and in such a situation you should probably be using Cure I anyway.

You should learn basic math and class mechanics before you try to lecture anyone about anything.

P.S. this is without even looking at the plethora of other advantages PLD has over WAR too, such as better cooldowns, shield block, and Reduced monster STR via Rage of Halone.
