Beef between WAR and PLD tanks

[Exstal]

wrong stuff

MT, WAR does more damage
OT, PLD does more damage

PLD has better static mitigation, whereas WAR has better spike damage mitigation.

Where does the difference actually matter? A bad PLD is good to have. A bad WAR is atrocious and very likely to not succeed with. Average PLD is...well average. Average WAR is still more difficult to play and by extension more difficult to keep alive. Phenomenal PLD is almost the same as average, with some more game sense (somewhat like ability to think on their feet). A phenomenal WAR is easier to deal with all around, but at the same time very hard to be at this level.
