Need help between war and pld

[Anienai]

Warriors carry a big stick.
Paladins cower behind a shield.

Go Warrior.

I actually find paladin more enjoyable than warrior.

Agreed. I mean, you see PLDs say some dumb things too, but it's often because they get shite on so much, of course they feel the need to compensate in some way. In general (I have met a few exceptions), WARs I find to be the most obnoxious. :/ In my personal experience, they yell at healers the most, make poor stance-dancing choices, etc... I'm just sorta filled with dread when I get one in dungeon content, because a lot of them don't meet the skill ceiling you need to be good at the Job, but they like to point fingers at everyone one else when things go badly.

Plus all you gotta do is look through this thread. All they seem to talk about is how much trash everyone else is compared to them. :P Not exactly the kind of people I'd want to play with tbh lol.

Get both at 60, be flexible!

In early dungeon DF groups, they are easier to hold all the enmity than WAR, at least in my experience. Less dmg maybe, but they have better aggro tools early.

So I got Drk up to 60 and I want to level a new tank. However I really like paladin and marauder. I believe paladin is at 32 and marauder is at 27, what do you main and why?

Well, currently I main a rogue. I'm a long time WoW player and I always got stuck playing either the healer or the tank. It was fine for a long time. I love both roles, but after six years, I wanted to kick butt too.

So, when I recently returned to FFXIV, I decided to focus on dealing damage. I desired to start a new character so I could reexperience the story arc. I had never played a rogue before so there you go. Sandi Kandi was born!

Now, in the past, I played a paladin. It's easy to play and I like the idea of mitigating damage rather than taking damage and healing my health back.

I feel Flash and Provoke are good, solid tools for tanking, while Convalescence is one of the best cool downs in the game when used properly.

Subjectively, paladins feel more like tanks than warriors. When I play my marauder, it feels a lot like when I play a damage dealer. Nothing wrong with that. In fact, I like it.

However, when I'm in the mood to tank, I fall back to my paladin. It's just something about that shield and sword that makes me feel like I can take on the world with the help of three friends.

I am a Paladin, haven't tried the other ones yet as I'm just starting out. I am interested in trying them, but so far I really enjoy the paladin. I normally go towards DPS in most games, but I needed a change and haven't been disappointed with it yet.

[Agrias_Meowkins]

I'm not saying Paladins are the best, but I feel more like a "hero" as a paladin in comparison to the way a warrior or dk plays. They just seem so... unrefined. Nothing thematically beats a sword and shield of justice.
