Sooo, should I wait for WAR or..?

[DenzelTaru]

So I got both tanks to 35 and really enjoyed WAR and the idea of WAR also it's story but I heard all the talk of it being ignored end-game, WAR's being booted from Titan parties and I admit I didn't like a WAR i played with before (I am a SCH) although it could be the individual person who wasn't very good as I usually static play with a PLD friend I don't see many WAR's

So with both at 35 I ask this.. Shall I take WAR to 50 now? or take PLD to 50 and do WAR with the 2.1 update (when is 2.1 expected anyway?)

SE has a great history with buffs and nerfs.
When something is too strong, they nerf is so hard that it becomes useless.
When something is too weak, they buff it so hard that it becomes god mode.
So just keep that in mind.

2.1 should come in december, as yoshida stated previously it'd be this year, and he also stated that he would like to do a live letter every month until it is released (implying there would be 2 or more). So that would mean oct and nov for live letters. As to the preferability of wars as tanks after 2.1, who knows? They've taken notice of the issues, but we don't know how much they will be solved. Maybe war will still be the same, maybe it'll be OP, maybe they'll be equal?

stuff

I'd lvl PLD first then lvl WAR right behind it. Having both at 50 will insulate you from class balancing issues and since they share gear it wont put a strain on your ability to gear them other than having to do the relic twice, which isn't a big deal. I say PLD first because it is currently the stronger of the two. WARs get kicked from pug Titans because two tanks aren't needed and you can replace them with a DPS or Healer. If your talking about DF groups kicking wars from Titan it's because the group is stupid.

If you enjoy Warrior, play Warrior. I main warrior and have tanked every mob there is to tank in this game successfully, with 1 exception. The only mob we can't tank is Turn 4 Dreadnaught with stacks / Double Dreadnaught, but we have another place in that fight so it's not an issue. Every other fight is perfectly viable with a Warrior tank, although PLD is more passive / easier to tank as.

As for Titan, well...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfFCJdk8iWc

Level whichever you have the most fun with first. Unless you're rushing, by the time you're ready for Titan HM or Coil (the places where people are actually complaining about Warrior versus Paladin) 2.1 will likely be launched and the question will be moot anyway.

Not bad, i will play around with both of then again.. I refuse to FATE until its absolutely necessary (35+) and even then i go into dungeons to practise and won't come out til I have full gear so I have much experience already with both and can't really decide between the two. PLD will wind one day then WAR will lol

Everyone else:

Thanks for the words, I still havent decided lol

There's something seriously amusing about watching a Lalafell tank Titan, regardless of class.

On topic, I always advise fellow FC members to level classes because they want to play them, not because they are the flavour of the month. The game balance is going to change whenever that balance is upset. Classes/Jobs will come into favour and out of it just as quickly by those who go for the most efficient/simplest/hardest-to-go-wrong route. Personally, I play to have fun, and I wouldn't be playing if I wasn't. As much as I enjoy tanking on Paladin, I like to go Warrior occasionally just for a change.
