What is the Underlying Issue about Warrior?

Tell that to 98% of the community out there. >.<

A bad Paladin is still easy to faceroll your way to victory. A bad Warrior will fold like a cheap shirt, and people will notice. A good Warrior can tank anything in the game, a good Paladin will do it a bit easier.

Your "bit easier" is actually pretty friggin' massive, given how PLD mitigation is primarily proactive so that it's actually useful against Coil's monumental amount of burst damage and also mitigates *more* damage because it scales with incoming damage rather than being balanced around 4 man content. I've tank on both my WAR and my PLD in Coil. If you're not in a not in a situation where you have to use your CDs, WAR and PLD are going to be pretty well matched; as soon as the damage gets high enough that you *have* to start throwing down CDs to survive, WAR becomes useless because their CD suite is only marginally better than DRG's and MNK's.

I don't know how wars are supposed to do it with their CD's. I MT Twintania, and If me or my healers aren't paying attention, I still can get gibbed by Death Sentence combos. Granted, I have had absolutely terrible luck with drops out of BC, but I'm still wearing 6 pieces of i90 gear, and have 6.4kish hp(which will jump tonight, either with more drops or with me buying my 5th piece of valor).
