Using Sword Oath, no PLD will be able to keep aggro off of a WAR in Defiance, but that's due to the enmity modifiers implicit in the stances. Using Shield Oath, assuming equal gear, a PLD will *easily* be able to outdo a WAR on enmity generation because they get to spam Halone rather than WAR having to splice in Storm's Eye (a WAR *could* manage more threat by just spamming BB, but, at that point, they're dropping their damage to a laughable low level and turning their self-heals, especially Inner Beast, into a complete and utter joke).

Anyone that thinks that WARs are somehow the damage or enmity kings are only exposed to the most idiotic PLDs. Any PLD worth its salt will put out much better numbers ("worth its salt" is predicated upon using Spirits Within and). It's not even theoretical: I've ripped threat off of WARs *numerous* times while playing PLD; I've also done the same on WAR but, if there's a competent PLD that I don't outgear, I'm going to be fighting that PLD the entire time to keep aggro.

I regularly play both PLD and WAR. I know how to play them both *damned* well. PLD *does* generate better enmity. The SE combo *really* eats into your ability to generate. There are a lot of WARs that stick their heads in the sand and forget about that.
