This isn't to say it should ever get area damage abilities, or out-damage warriors, but it has to fill the tank slot with some form of comparable output to ever be worth anything. This isn't XI.

How do you consider warrior not a perfectly well rounded job? It has more mitigation tools than paladin and their heals are better outside of bosses without fear of being interrupted, and it kills things in the process instead of having casting time, and it has no MP worries. Warrior has no weakness and can solo entire strongholds. How's that for making sense of jobs?

Oh wait, it's "not going to happen"
WAR, like many of the DDs, lacks an effective healing utility. It is dependent on an off-class Second Wind and Bloodbath.

Also, jobs were never designed to be effective for solo/lowman. Honestly now.

Even when they first introduced Paladin they mentioned how it would be sacrificing HP from GLA for greater defense and powerful white magic. Alongside that I've analyzed a PLD's skill-set and used SE's own design as support for my proposed fix.

Now if you believe WAR to be over-powered and much too well-rounded as opposed to the other jobs, then you must be suggesting that it be nerfed. You said it, not me.
