Let me break down your ignorance:

A PLD auto-attack and a WAR auto-attack are not the same thing. A PLD makes an auto-attack every 2.2 secs or so (depending upon weapon speed); a WAR makes an auto-attack very 3.2 secs or so (depending upon weapon speed). Even with every other piece of gear and stats identical, a WAR's auto-attack is going to throw up a number ~45% higher, but the contributions over time will be identical because a PLD will be making 45% more auto-attacks.


The only thing you're showing with SB, RoH, SS, and BB is that they have different potencies, as if that was the only thing that was a factor. You're completely missing the fact that PLD has a *way* stronger DPS CD (Unchained + Berserk are barely equal to FoF on its own), not to mention the fact that it gets an extra 50 pot/GCD off of the GCD compared to WAR's 12.5.

You can throw up pictures of a single attack paired with an auto-attack all you want, but it's not going to prove anything beyond your own ignorance. You could use the same methodology to argue that a DRG deals more damage than a MNK because a DRG can throw up a 1.3k hit while a MNK is going to manage ~700 (and, if you didn't know, MNK is the best DPS in the game atm; it beats out DRG handily), and you would be just as wrong.
Listen, and try to read this time.

Your first statement was that WAR doesnt generate as much threat as PLD. You then went on to contradict yourself that a war indeed does generate more threat. Either it does or does not, it cant be both. Again, if you were talking like a 15 hour fight where PLD could get hate over a WAR in aoe cause the WAR would exhaust all TP and pld could keep going longer cause of the MP/TP ratio's then MAYBE PLD could eventually have more threat.

Also in single target in a 15 hour fight where the PLD's auto attack against WAR's crit hit and STR bonus, a PLD MIGHT pull threat. I dont know, and i dont really care cause nothing will ever ever last that long.

Also your statement about people attacking you and you trying to just "defend" yourself.. is also incorrect. My initial post was in conjunction to the OP simply to ask that PLD become a more enjoyable job to play. You tried to refute my statement that WAR generated more threat on PLD which was completely off topic. So seriously, youre the one with a bone to pick not me. I'm just uncertain why you have such good information would waste it on situations that are off topic of a thread and use it to argue situations that would never arise in Eorzea..
