Paladin is the better tank, but Warrior is the better class

A) To paraphrase Yoshi, WARs are getting buffed because they cannot compete on turns 1 + 4 of Coil with a PLD. These guys wrote the freaking programming and came up with the math that decided this stuff, they know exactly what they did.

B) I am worked up because she made a blanket statement of "Berserk is weak as hell." That implies the skill is weak, not the DPS portion of it is weak. She never disclosed or said or even implied her analysis was only focused on the DPS portion of the skill. She was asserting that it was a bad skill. and YOU asserted that she was 100% correct. Also, you can totally quantify the %crit and %heal gains over time by adding 1 wrath stack every 90s (or make it .5 wrath stacks every 90s to account for 1/2 the time you use berserk you are at 5 stacks already). You just have to use insane assumptions, the most insane of which is omnipresent in theorycraft, which is that everything is only as useful as its average, long term effect on the player.

C) "If your saying 1 stack of Wrath makes up for 5 seconds of not attacking, then you are the garbage player. =/" Your words, not mine (also flawed because you need to take into account the increase in dmg done + the wrath stack against the 5 seconds of not using weaponskills). The pacification is the drawback to a skill that would be too powerful without it. It adds interesting strategy to utilizing the skill, and emphases player skill over average numbers over time, which is fun. It is taking a risk to accomplish something, you are risking your best possible enmity and damage in those 5 seconds, for increased damage in the previous 20s, along with receiving a Wrath stack off GCD. I think even with the disadvantage of weapon skills being out of commission, the skill is still extremely useful. They could have made it NOT give you a wrath stack and NOT give you pacification, but that would make it less strategic, and be more akin to the PLD CDs that are "I HIT AND GUD THINGS HAPPEN HEHEHEHE!!!"
