hey atoman...
those moves you are mentioning for pld are special moves...done occassionally. what he's saying about war/mnk or war/thf with g.axe is it does 90-110 per melee hit.
not gonna make this one a book, but dude, i got out in kazham with my well developed war/mnk, and I out tank every single paladin there...people have even commented on it, my first night out there. (not too mention with counter and boost he's MUCH quicker and hits ridiculously harder than pld's)
and sitting there saying "errr what does war get...warcry? that's it!" is something a noob would say, and you're not noobs, neither am i. At 25war/12mnk right now my job traits are : martial arts, subtle blow, counter, defense bonus, resist virus, and double attack...my job abilities are : boost, voke, mighty strikes, berserk, defender.
that's a little more than just getting warcry, and i havent even gotten to that yet...it's at 35...so come on now. My war/mnk is QUICK, agile, hits hard, can use 3 different weapons masterfully, and has a great shield skill, and his evasion is always maxed. His other main stats go like this:
str 35+1, Dex 27+1, vit 29+2, agi 23, int 18, mnd 25+1, chr 24
weapons combos att def :
with moth axe equipped- att98 def132
small sword/shield- att103 def135
bone pick /shield - att 96 def 135
this is all without any protect or enhancing abilities...with defender i can put that def at literally 30 over any pld and with boost my attack can go over 150 or so....come on, what's a better frontliner than that at 25? who else uses 3 weapons like that?
As far as a tank OR frontline dmg dealer, tell me what's going to do a better job than something like that at 25?
how about at 35? 50? 60?...put your opinions up here guys...ive heard so many mixed ideas and stuff on war/thf or war/mnk at 45+...i LOVE war/mnk...and really put on a show with it at my lvls...but dont wanna put all this time and effort into developing a war/mnk now (you guys know how much that costs) thats designed for versatility, and all around frontlining, if im just going to be forced to take up an advanced job anyway...so what's the verdict...how do people feel about war/mnk from 30-75?

Again though, i recognize equally the effectiveness of the 1h axe, the sword, the shield, and the g.axe...that's why I use em all. We're not taking into account boost, defender, berserk, warcry etc. At any time i want i can either have a higher def than any pld within 2 lvls of me, or a higher att than anybody job int he game within 2 lvls of me. (probably more than 2...ive gotten both att and def up to over 165 ...at 24/12..come on now...what else can do that) throw food into the mix and basically if you KNOW HOW TO PLAY AS A WAR, you can have the most versatile, powerful frontliner in the game. Using these tactics last night in kazham, twice pld's were booted from my party because they were pointless... they tried to tank, but the beast wanted ME...not him. well once that happens, what's the purpose of the pld? it cant do ANY dmg, so whats the point? When a pld is the tank, and the war isnt...there's 2 other styles that a war can fall back on...again, diversity is key to a frontliner...nothing other than war/mnk can alter it's weapons combos and stats anyway it wants like that, on the spot.
