This is a very good analysis if all this actually holds up. We still don't know ability lengths and recast times will be exactly the same. Assuming that are, this would have been a pretty balanced changed they make to war to bring them up to pld's level. I have seen far to many posts about war's possibly being OP in 2.1, which i don't think will be the case at all. Each will have their place, and in all honesty, I believe pld will still be the better overall tank. Especially if you are new to an encounter, but the gap is hopefully going to be drastically narrowed.

The difference between the two tank in some encounters is to laughable. Sure warriors can do all the content in the game just like paladins, but currently paladins drastically ease progression play than warriors (it shouldn't be like that).

I'm tanking what i can in coil (not so lucky with drops) and I know as a warrior I put more stress on the party than any paladin counterpart (doesn't matter how good I am.)
