omg, ok leme break it down barny style.

top dps done by Ifrit is normal attaks,
second is sear
third is incinerate (and yes , Im sure i spelled that wrong , who cares)
fourth is usually plumes (if they hit me at all, shit happens)
and normally last on the list is Hell fire, sentinal, rampart and stone skin makes hell fire hit less then 800 everytime.

that explain it?

never said war did bad, just a good pld in decent gear can take much less damage, and keep hate just fine. I agree war has , as of now, superior hate controll , soo long as he can do decent dps and lands most of his hits. but the fact that war has requirements to controll hate well that can become questionable in certain situations makes it too unreliable imo.

.... so, your not even main tank, wich makes me think you havent spent enough time to on either job to build a solid knowledge base to even begin to critisize me or how I tank. Leme draw it out for you


99% of the population finds it easier to tank on WAR and soo they do
1% know how to tank on PLD and soo they do.
of that 1% maybe half have developed gear that makes tanking on PLD far more superior then tanking on WAR(I am in THAT group), ESPECIALLY if you put war in heavy def / vit gear (war loses acc , att, crit rate/atk boosts, gimping hate gen and self heals)
soo all this "YAY WAR IS SOOO AWSOME PLD IS USELESS!!" stigma in generated by ignorant people , like yourself, who know nothing of what they are talking about. This is not to say that WAR isnt a good tank, but a decent PLD dose just as good as a decent WAR and a PLD who knows the job inside and out and has gear specifically build around the job can make PLD outshine WAR 10X over. no amounts of DPS or hate generation will make up for the fact that PLD actually TANKS the mob and dose it better then WAR. WAR is more like a damage sponge with just enough def and hp to give the WHMs time to keep him alive while he dose massive damage.
