PLD vs WAR: testing

[Zantetsuken]

If PLD can't survive fighting of multiple enemies solo but WAR can, then there is a balance issue.

I'll do more test later on +Lv50's

I'm going to disagree with you on this, and here's why:

If PLD is much better at:

A) Tanking single "IT++" mobs

And WAR is much better at:

B) Tanking groups of "VT" mobs

Then both classes have been given a distinct role and tanking style. Furthermore, if both jobs have difficulty fulfilling the other's role, then they are actually balanced quite well.

The unbalancing issue was that WAR dominated both A and B. Since PLD could only do A (and still needed a buff), it didn't have a role in the game and was thus sidelined.

*Sidenote: it seems some players may have wanted PLD and WAR to do both A and B equally well. This erodes class distinction and brings us back further to the universal complaints about the early class system. Thankfully, the devs are trying to push PLD and WAR further apart, rather than closer together.
