What happens when.....

[Shining_Tiger_Excalibur]

What are these links meant to show? All I'm seeing is that OT parses were similar between PLD and WAR in 2.x, and that was the case when I compared my DPS to a PLD in my FC back around i180. The video also shows that a PLD in Shield Oath most of the time gets heavily outDPSed by WAR in Defiance most of the time. They just support what I said: competitive OT DPS, PLD gets destroyed in MT DPS.

Funnily enough from the recent parsing I just did, this isn't the case anymore. I'm actually flabbergasted by how similar Warrior and Paladin DPS is in tank stance (I can attribute it to the second DoT and Royal Authority combo.) We were both in similar equipment down to the same slaying accessories and we were both at similar DPS (we only used our dps abilities.) The script has actually been flipped....he crushed me in DPS by more than 300 in our respective DPS stances instead. What this shows is that you aren't right when you say it's the same now. We just offhandedly had a level 54 warrior do a random fell cleave that hit for 2k with no slashing debuff....you're wrong on both accounts now and your DPS must have been while you were still learning. There's no possible way off tank DPS is comparable unless that Paladin greatly outgeared you.

EDIT: If you'd like to question the ability of that Warrior I had parsing with me, he's in Dancing Mad with Hadley Brightfoot if that means anything. The guy obviously knows what he's doing and even he admits that in order for a Paladin to now match a Warriors off tank DPS something wrong has to happen in the form of stats, equipment or ability.
