Is Warrior for me?

[Ashkendor]

I think a big draw to warrior for me is I want to tank but still get to see high numbers/big crits. I don't get that really with pld..like at all.
It just feels very bland.

If you gear correctly you can see some nice crits, though not nearly as big as warrior. The best I've seen so far is 1150-ish on Spirits Within. Rage of Halone regularly crits for 900+. I need more strength gear. :3

Pretty much how Tanking is. Your not suppose to see big number only when a big number is hitting you and the sweet cake of it is how much did you reduce that big huge hit by? It's always sweet seeing a MB deal 0 HP damage or a mega flare dealing 300 Damage due to mitigation not just on my part but healers Adlo and Stone Skin.

I dunno. I've started optimizing my gear for DPS after reaching the minimum accuracy requirement simply because Parry builds aren't so great. The return on it is atrocious. I get that I'm a tank first, but why not do all the damage I can? Yes the DPS should be meeting DPS checks on their own, but it's nice to have a little extra push from the tank too. I do have to admit it's fun to see tank crunchers do 0 damage, though. Laughing in the mob's face always makes my day. I make sure to compliment my healers on their mitigation when I see that. ^^

I believe there is secret way to playing your job. Once you get really used to it you start doing things you wouldn't thought of doing the 1st time you start playing and you do things that you makes you think "why didn't I do this before?" like putting my Bloodbath with Fight or Flight or Stone Skinning myself on those brief breaks I have. I notice not many PLD's do that but really should as it helps the heals.

Right? I can't believe the amount of paladins I've seen that don't self stone-skin or use things like FoF/BB together. Self stone skin has saved my butt more than a few times when I'm completely out of other cooldowns. It seems like fully half of the PLD I get in DF when I heal barely even use CD's, much less use them effectively. :s
