    I'm going to switch over WAR to try it out.. Many of us keep complaining about tanking less than a PLD but as a WAR is about as a sub tank and can dish a good amount of damage than PLD while at tanking.. Thought it might sound weird, a WAR job is harder to control than PLD and it's more effective to use in 8man dungeons due to dangerous bosses and adds.. As 4man dungeons, be it whether is PLD or WAR, both should be able to complete it smoothly..

    WARs do around 5% more damage than a PLD.
    Since they take 20% more MP and GCDs to heal, one could argue that if healers spend the time saved healing a PLD by doing damage, that a PLD is actually a net-gain in DPS for a group.

    WARs struggle with burst DPS. Inner Beast does not make up the difference of Rampart, Sentinel, Bulwark, and Shield Oath combined.
