Warrior defensive rotations with CDs please

I can tell you a 6k Pld will die to a burst, but a 8k war will not die to the same burst. And this is before you are stacking on those storm path debuffs

There's a huge difference in on shotting between wars and plds.

PLD+20% DR has the Same Effect as WAR+25% HP.

So if a boss hits the tank for 2k Damge

7.5k HP WAR - 2k = 5.5k (73% HP Left)
Equally geared PLD will have 6k Health -1600 (20%mitgated) = 4400 (73% HP Left)

Damage doesn't come as easy as that or def would actually matter.

While I generally agree with OMega they are basically equal.

I know I can barely survive a DS and an auto attack with no buffs of any kind that would kill my PLD partner

Well, actually.. After the IB changes I can see that for one specific burst event, the WAR is going to have the same 20% DR as PLD, plus 25% more health and the healing boost to recover. PLD can stack buffs and reduce damage by a much greater amount, but no good PLD is gonna blow all CDs at once.
