Sounds like you party with PLDs that don't know how to use Sentinel, Rampart and Aegis Boon...

None of these compare to what WAR has available to it. I have PLD and am quite capable of using these abilities. While they're nice for defense, I honestly use them more as hate tools. Otherwise, PLD wouldn't even be close to WAR in enmity generation.

And the AF comparison is there as it's the only gear that is exclusive to either job. Any gear you claim you use on PLD that gives it better defense could also be used on WAR.

Also, PLD = Less healing is not true at all; if WHM's could cure your exact HP for an exact MP it would possibly be true. There's a lot of wasted MP in overcures, especially with PLD spending it's MP on cures at the same time as WHM. In fact, PLD can = more healing, because if you have a finicky WHM they'll want you in white 90% of the time, which happens faster to a 100% HP PLD than a 100% HP WAR.
