For Tanking-

I tested WAR/PLD against Ifrit and Moogle pre and post patch fix.

On moogle I always get all of them to follow me right after phase 1 on both WAR and PLD on both Pre/Post patch fix. The Steel Cyclone nerf didn't affect it at all. Same with Ifrit, the only difference is I can spam more WS hate skills on PLD than WAR with the enhanced block but WAR still has a significantly higher DPS overall. As for hate management they're both on par. If you lose hate on these fights then you're doing something wrong.

I really depends on taste and party setup. If your DD setup is weak, go WAR. If you like healing your team mates (specially the drgs and monks on ifrit) then go PLD.

Just know your cycle and don't lose hate!
