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.

It's not just clemency. In fact you probably have to cast far far less clemency than you did before because PLD now has a HoT and their magic phase heals with damage.

Clemency is by far PLD'S most powerful tool for self sustainability though and it received 2 nerfs:
No requisecat buff and a 200 potency reduction

WAR now has an hot with Equilibrium and a heal for shake it off ontop of the absurdity that is blood whetting.

I still think PLD wins out in fights with more healing checks because of Clemency, but the difference in performance between 2 tanks isn't nearly as big as some posters I. This thread are suggesting.

War's passive self sustainability is insane.

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.
