When did FFXIV's Warrior become same as Warriors in 'other MMOs'?
I'm a Warrior myself so I'm just curious.

That's not the point. If you read the next line of my post you'll see what I was referring to. The idea of lots of health and self heals ONLY has been tried in other MMOs (namely WoW) and found to be lacking compared to raw mitigation and the ability to block incoming attacks. On paper, it all seems like a good idea, but in practice and in the middle of intense battle it doesn't at all play out like the development team probably perceives it does. Especially when you consider the fact that in order to do their big self heal, warriors have to sacrifice the one thing that's keeping them alive. (The extra healing from Wrath stacks.) Paladins have to make no such sacrifice, and have several defensive cooldowns to boot.

Plain and simple, Warriors ARE lacking compared to Paladins in Titan HM and beyond and they need to be tweaked a bit to make up for it.
