Level both tank classes?

[Bardo]

Besides, aren't they removing myth cap next patch? (rumor I think)

I'm pretty sure that's been confirmed.
However they're also adding better gear with a new tomestone type, so lifting the cap on Myth won't really change much unless the new gear works for both WAR/PLD.

Just level both if you love tanking but want some variety! That's what I did.

I lv both and lovin it so far. I do perfer PLD tho since I usually lead and organize coil and primal group. PLD give me more time to yell out at ppl and make sure they in the correct position ;P.
I change to WAR sometime when i want some change of pace ^^', both class are good choice.

Pld is for encounters for when you haven't mastered as much, and war for content you have master (generally speaking).

But you have to be very lucky to collect the whole alligan set from coil, so focusing on both is a non starter for most people due to myth caps.

Pld > war though in most encounters since you can do much more with a pld then you can with a war. and 2xPld is perfectly doable, where 2xWar is a lot harder to clear contents.

War is boss though when you know the content inside out.

Level both, gear both with Allagan/Myth. If you're remotely lucky, you'll have enough Myth leftover and Myth restrictions are going to be lifted in 2.2 anyway with Coil t1-5 unlocked on Duty Finder. I prefer to play Warrior as it's more fun to me but do play Paladin when I feel lazy.

In general, you want to gear out your main before you level an alt. However, with the myth caps, coil lockouts, and 1 CT gear per week... there's really nothing else to do once you have all those done. So you might as well level a pld on the side. I have both a pld (i90) and war (i89) and there are advantages to both depending on content. 2 things that Plds have over War though - Hallowed Ground and a silence. For Turn 2 in coil, it's nice to have another silence for interrupts. And Hallowed Ground >>>> Holmgang

Def lvl both. I play PLD for our static and WAR for most everything else. It's nice to spice it up.

Level GLD to 22 and never touch it again. Funny how people want a challenging game, but they make a bee line for the path of least resistance and call it "viable". This is the same group that probably threw RNG at an encounter before the range nerf in XI. WAR can tank just fine, but some fake tanks and whiny healers can't handle a MB to the face.


Fake tanks make me wanna vomit.

Warrior 4 life!!!

could you define what you mean as a "fake tank"? Are you saying paladins are fake tanks? or do you mean something else?

You're the type of person who would make a troll's time worthwhile. Lol!
