WAR buff worries for PLD

[Grailer]

"Yay im uber l33t warrior best tank in game soon . " ...

*loads into WP for speed run*

"Im going to run the fastest speed run ever im so uber l33t .. "

*starts moving forward presses sprint button*

"NOOOOO all my TP is gone ... fail!!!!"


*PLD snickers silently in the background*

PLD and WAR complement each other well (e.g. Flash Blind / Storm's Eye). In other words, most of the times there will probably be a 2 PLD grp or a 1/1 (PLD/WAR) grp.

In other words, no worries you wont get unemployed as a PLD in FFXIV :>

The Buff still leave the War as the second class tank only now the gap tiny and not massive and people will want to take a War in to coil and not just double PLD.

WAR and PLD will be roughly equals in tanking, both will be useful.

PLD has a silence, on-demand stun, and a shield for a lot of overall damage mitigation.

WAR gets better burst DPS, slightly better AoE damage, Storms Eye which also increases he PLD dmg on the target by 10%, and a short CD short duration mitigation buff every 20 seconds.

For 8 person groups, 1 WAR and 1 PLD will usually be ideal.

i still don't get the problem that other PLD see. My main class is paladin it doesn't effect me because I have it okay I am glad that Warrior have buff if they need. I love having a Warrior in same party with me

well it deserves it because the tanking classes should be equally as capable to run instances? the reason i am worried is because it is my favorite class. i will be willing to learn another class if i must, but as my pld is the most geared atm i say id rather still be able to do all the lvl 50+ instances.

I didn't see you complaining when warrior is excluded from party and Paladin is the go-to tank so equally as capable? Please. Paladins are fine. How about we let the changes come through first then decide if Paladin deserves a buff to an already OP class.

You´re still not explaining why you think PLD deservers a buff. Its just the usual "OMG WHY DONT MY CLASS GET A BUFF"

Pld is a class already proven to clear any of the current content and buffing the warrior just made them able to clear the content with much ease, and not saying they can't, but of course with difficulty on how much dmg coil bosses do. i personally think that with the buffed warriors on 2.1 would just make them a better combo with the Pld in a party. imagine a 2 warrior set pt and maybe u will see my point.

1st. Paladin won't get replaced. Nor forgotten. Nor will it ever be a useless job to have.

2nd. Warrior needed a buff to be on par with us. Take comfort in knowing that we as PLDs didn't need a buff to make us better. Warriors did, not us. Let them have their weightless glory.

3rd. SE loves Paladins, always have, always will. We aren't going anywhere.

4th. The only thing Paladin needs is some fixes. IE: Awareness blocking Crit Hit Heals. This isn't a "Buff" we need, it's a fix. There's a difference, I am not QQing cause Warrior is getting their buffs. It's broke, it needs fixed. Simple.

Outside of that, Paladin is a very well rounded tank job. Anything that they are doing for Warrior is to make it a more necessary job. It'd be no fun leveling a Warrior just to be told every time that "Nah we need a Paladin." and the same could be said if the roles were reversed. SE wants everyone to be able to play a job, enjoy it, and keep throwing them money.

You... weren't around during the 1.18 Marauder buff, were you.
