Hello forum~

I've been throwing around the idea of getting a tank to 50 just to be able to experience things from the other side of the coin (WHM main), but I'm not sure which class to pick.

Are either of them superior to the other in terms of tanking in lower levels? I've noticed WAR get Defiance a lot sooner than PLD gets Shield Oath, but that WAR stun has a laughably long windup in comparison. Are there any other major differences?

Also, are there significant cross class skills that one will need from the other? I suppose that might swing the scales more than anything.

Thanks for the help!
