Paladin too overpowered, nerf their damage output!

[Thela]

To the point of "what would I like"- I've said it in other threads too, but ultimately I don't actually care. Kind of.

My issue is largely that I want -some kind of identity- that isn't "2~3% dps over pld" and absolutely nothing else. What do you take a Warrior for? LB gauge and dubiously noticable dps difference is not a good enough answer. What does a Warrior do that other tanks don't? What do they provide to the party? Right now, the answer is nothing.

How we get it doesn't matter to me. A set and forget tank b/c high self sustain? Sure. Significantly higher dps(ala samurai/blm vs other dps)? I don't actually want that, but if it's clear and an absolute part of what a Warrior is supposed to be by design, sure. Tank bard w/party buffs? Sure idc. What's important is that something is there.

Well one thing a war can do on O4S that a PLD cannot is take all 3 delta attacks because of the short cooldown on holmgang vs the 7 minutes on HG. Sure a DRK can do this as well if they use the first living dead a little prematurely so it will line up with the 2nd delta attack.

But yeah i don't know really for identity, they don't bring any particular group utility as such, but they do their job well enough and bring slightly higher dps than a pld. On top of this they bring arguably the best set of defensive cd's of all tanks. I'm not really sure they need anything else? DRK on the other hand, well they need something for sure.
