Switching from PLD to WAR and need advice

[kukurumei]

Also to might add, as a warrior, you will notice the boss will die alot faster due to your dps added with the right rotation.

Not that significantly, It shaves a few here and there, but in the greater scheme of things, the DPS is still going to carry the bulk of the damage. They maybe useful if you have to burn something down really quick mechanic, but SE more or less made it so that it can be burned without wars anyway.

The greatest resource of going from pld to war, is that you have a lot more control over the situation, and not get caught defenseless. Face tanking sucks but you have to remember War face tanking almost always comes out pretty decently. Storms path is a straight up reduction, IB is free and works proactively and reactively, soaking damage is easy. Foresight is up a lot for what it's worth, blood bath does a decent upkeep.

But they lack any oh-crap button, as vengeance is often ration to nearly a HG level, so a war just has to pray, because they will always have to rely on continuous healer support, unlike a pld that can live a super long time by himself.

Wars are basically perfect for a meat shield, while the pld does the heavy lifting when the time comes (super hits, fancy strategies, stalling for time, etc)

Most content Wars have to be content with the fact they simply can't do fancy stuff like PLD, and yell "Bring on the pain" from the monster.

Stuff is going to hurt, no way around it.
