    So does MNK and WAR. But they all have CDs unlike PLD shield bash.

    To OP, WAR has a lot more to do, and a bit more choice on what abilities to use. Do you apply storms eye/path or do you need to keep building enmity with butchers block combo/overpower? PLD is pretty much 1,2,3 flash, 1,2,3 flash XD. PLD is simpler to play than WAR, not saying WAR is complex, just have more things to think about.

    Yeah, that's why I've been thinking of going with PLD for awhile. Work out how to tank with that class, then try out WAR. I think I will like WAR better in the end, but I'd rather know how to tank properly before getting into that one.

    Warrior has you hit more buttons than Paladin. In the end, both classes do what they are meant to do: To be Tanks.

    If you want an easier time tanking or are new to tanking etc., I would definitely recommend the Paladin.

    Yeah, I have decided PLD would be better for me to start out with based on the general consensus of comments here. I'm looking forward to giving it a try! Everyone has been super helpful.
