PLD vs WAR for soloing old group content...

[TheJarvisMan]

Who do you guys think will come out on top between these two jobs for soloing older group content? I've heard both have topnotch heals w/ WAR not needing to slow down its dps rotation to keep itself alive. Both seem top tier, but I'm wondering which one edges out the other. Would love to hear what you guys think. Thanks!

Warrior. The thread.

Never played war, but they have more self healing so I would assume they would do far better. Also having a shorter CD on Invuln could mitigate some impassable tank mechanics/group attacks. That being said, I run old content with a WAR main, and me playing another WAR really doesn't help us half as much as playing PLD and too a much lesser extent DRK.

PLD was the better choice in Shadowbringers and should still be the best. Clemency will get you through more fights than Bloodwhetting because you can use it any time you have enough MP instead of being gated by a cooldown.

Add onto that that the magic combo also only needs 5000MP, it leaves plenty of room to Clemency and still be able to beat things down with magic swords.

WAR hands down. No disruption to anything to heal, all on demand and up frequently. No brainer

Wars Nascent Flash has been extremely nerfed, it can no longer instantly restore your HP back to full near an instant.

Paladin has more regen/Heal support on top of Clemency.

Warrior loses this game, unless you really need more than one invuln.

You can't even use it anymore if you're solo.

You can't even use it anymore if you're solo.

Bloodwhetting is a whole lot better either way.

Bloodwhetting is an actual digital madlad, what are you on about lol.

Also you have to bear in mind that you can still heal off a pack of mobs with Blood/Nascent, just that it is a potency amount now (that CAN crit). It seems bad at first glance until you realise it is completely UNRESTRICTED... You can use it on your regular 1-2 AoE now, making the whole skill much more on demand.

Not to mention how sick the change is to raw intuition for lower levels.
