Warrior can do coil just fine, but if you think your going to tank coil in hoplite gear, don't waste your time. I didn't get turn 1 down until I finished my DL pants and AF2 helm. So Relic, 2 pieces of AF2, and Full DL Everything else. At that point warrior becomes a LOT better. They have a higher gear check for sure. But even paladin has a high gear check. Warriors are better than Paladin's if the paladin is out of cooldowns, which can and does happen. When the pld's cooldowns are down, it's nice to have a warrior be able to provoke it off and pop his crap and soak up some dmg.
