WAR > PLD

[Kitru]

WAR can out DPS PLD.
WAR can generate more hate than PLD.
WAR has WAY more HP than PLD

PLD.... can mitigate damage better...

You also forgot that PLD has way better utility than a WAR: Cover, Stoneskin, Silence (Spirits Within), Pacification (Shield Swipe). It's because of this that WAR ends up dealing more damage: WAR gets more damage in exchange for PLD getting more utility.

As to the whole "WAR has more hp" thing, yes, WAR has more explicit hp because PLD has more damage reduction, which actually ends up meaning that PLD and WAR have the exact same effective hit points. It's also why WAR has +healing as well: PLD's DR is the equivalent of 25% +hp and 25% +healing so it *has* to be there to render equivalence. The same follows suit with the relevant CD suites: the WAR CDs don't do *nearly* as much as the PLD CDs do. The only WAR CD that gets anywhere close to doing what a PLD CD does is Vengeance (30% DR for 15 seconds every 120) but it's still beaten out by the most "basic" of the PLD CDs, Rampart (20% DR for 20 seconds every 90).

As to the whole "WAR takes enmity off of me every time no matter what I do", if you're having enmity problems against anyone, you're doing it wrong. Properly played, a WAR and a PLD should be neck and neck with their enmity generation, with WAR having a burstier enmity profile (Unchained and Berserk for 20 seconds every 120 seconds for ~85-90% +dam but can only be used in "safe" scenarios when you won't need the Wrath stacks or will not be affected by the Pacification; BB>BB>SP generates lots of enmity at the start but SP generates negligible amounts) and PLD having a very stable one (FoF is 30% +dam for 30 seconds every 90 seconds and can be used on CD without any real tactical consideration; RoH spam is straight up high enmity all the time). An equally matched PLD and WAR trying to steal enmity off of each other will regularly cycle who has it based upon where they are in their enmity generation cycle.

In short, your complaints simply indicate exactly how little you know about the tank classes. If you're having problems with other tanks, especially WARs, regularly pulling off of you, it's because *you* are doing something wrong (I've pulled off of other tanks when all I was doing was spamming SE>SP before, which should never happen). Rather than complaining that WARs are overpowered and PLDs need buffs or whatever (which seems to be what you're asking for here unless you just felt like whining purposelessly) when the entire rest of the game and the numbers themselves agree that they are *exceptionally* well balanced, look at what *you* are doing wrong and fix it.
