Why Nobody Plays Warrior

People also forgot to mention before 2.1 War didn't have a reasonable Cooldown on its stun thus making dual WAR on Ifrit hard a nightmare in pugs (alternate stuns) on eruption. This was also during the time where people would quit Ifrit hard at the start (no leave penalty) because of no blm or smn for aoe LB for the nails or a PLD to offtank stun.

I actually loved going WAR on Ifrit HM in 2.0. PLD always had to be OT stunbot. ;D

... Though if you ended up with 2 WARS, nobody wanted to even try it. :< It was perfectly doable with 2 WARs, you just alternate stuns, but that was the tricky part for DF.

Then you got my FC who loves the crap out of Warriors.

I think the real thing is, war takes a lot of finesse and skill to be a good war. Pld, does not. The difference in skill required to be a great pld vs a great war is like finger painting vs character sketching. Therefor, there are a lot fewer good wars than plds, and that makes it appear that pld is just better.

I main WHM (i120) & WAR (i130).

My Healers love me for a reason

Though I like PLD's CDs, but I have a full grip on tanking as a Warrior.

PS: I fancy battleaxes

tbh of the 2 tanks in this game warriors seem to be able to keep agro the most from me going as blm, hehe
Both classes are now equal i would say, PLD used to have it easier like a year or so ago until changes were made to war
Plus the combo of having a war when i go as Ninja is great

Why almost everyone plays war?
"Like omg did u see how high i dps as war?" My beast strength accessories r op.
Then plds go

this is exactly that, but still a few play war.
Also them should use Vita/strength 110 accesries to be op.
But realy a coil group need PLD/WAR : the pld is extremely good to MT, and the war extremely good to OT, end of the drama.
PLD take a little less damage (i think the shield block rate do the difference), he have invincibility, it's not nothing, it's just better than homlang, and he is safier on Hard cleave cast because the war have to relying on GCD, when pld is sure to relying only on instant CD even if you are already input combo.
The issue is the number of player playing PLD and some few War.
When the best for the coil is having a PLD, a War a whm a sch, a bard, a melee ,a magic, a 4th dps (should be a other bard if there a drg, or a other melee)
We need both of them PLD<War or PLD>War this drama should not exist, go away with it
In the expansion we will get DrkKnight i hope he is more a OT tank, because of the few War playing
