Changing to WAR since is the new OP tank

[Yagrush]

Some, if not a lot of people, enjoy playing the classes they can be most useful with rather than the class that they enjoy the rotation on; Especially if you're in a progression group.

People are confusing the fact that WAR is now probably on par with PLD with "Oh, now I gotta change PLD". The point of this buff is so that you dont have to make your choice depending on which is gonna be more useful, because the idea is that both will be equally useful.

I love the mental midgets who overreact to every change by screaming it is the end of X or some other BS like that.

Yes that;s right people, PLD will be the equivalent of a paperweight in 2.1. /rolleyes

Agreed, already taking my WAR to 50 to replace my soon-to-be-worthless Paladin.

[Grembo]

It's ok, most of us Warriors have had to use PLD for 3+ month to gear up our mains so i'm sure you guys will be fine playing another class.

[Nayto]

Guess I'll change to PLD cuz WAR is too mainstream.

I don't see many new people becoming a tank because of the changes to Warrior. Most likely the people leveling it will be Paladins who are already maxed. I leveled Warrior first to 50 and love it. I have my Paladin at 40 now and to be honest I like both classes. I think Paladin will still have better damage mitigation, but Warrior will have closed the gap a bit and is a bit more dynamic to play.

Im pretty sure war will once again be the go to tank job...
even though i have cleared all the content on pld ill happly redo it on my war no problem...its my favorite 1.0 job

The lionshare of war buffs were to their dps and not mitigation. War may now do a lot more dps then a pld but a pld will still have better damage mitigation. So its a choice of do you want your tank to do more damage but take more damage or do you want the tank to do less damage and take less.

You'll have to explain how you've come to that conclusion. Here are the proposed changes. The only change which concerns DPS directly is Unchained.
