    No.

    Unless he's using Provoke or you're afk'ing halfway through the fight.

    My life while tanking is an existential hell from which there is no escape.

    Was about to say... What a PLD does in one combo, requires 2 from a WAR, one of which doesn't have the enmity modifier.

    Also, last I checked the DPS from tank-specced WARs/PLDs aren't exactly far from each other.

    OP is high.

    Unless the war is only spamming BB combo like a nub and not fully using war to its potential, The DPS difference is so small it's not really worth discussion. War has more burst but sustained DPS is not that much different.

    This couldn't be further from the truth. Hopefully you wont have tanks fighting over hate, but a geared warrior will always take and maintain hate. There is no argument about that, war has higher damage output and more burst to hold onto sustained hate. Especially if your war is geared for OT (Crit/Det/Vit Acc, etc). My Warrior comes into a odin fight and I usually take hate in a manner of minutes. Just part of War master race <3
