WAR < PLD - Relatively Small Difference

[Ryios]

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.

But how is that better than just having a second pld to switch in when the other pld is out of CD's? Sort of confused on what fight you are referring to, and where you would have two tanks where only one is tanking anything or are you talking about bringing 3 tanks? lol.

I dunno, me personally I am not all about maximum efficiency and all that stuff. Sometimes, having flavor and such makes a run more fun and enjoyable. I play a PLD, so having a WAR next to me is more flavorful than having someone doing the same thing (or similar) to me. I am not saying that you are wrong, but its not always about being better, at least IMO.
