I can tank pretty easily. Doing actual good dps as a dps is hard. Different people are good at different roles.

Paladin is by far the easiest tank to learn, since their aggro tools use separate pools (both stamina and mana) unlike warrior, which uses stamina exclusively, at least I think so. This means if you're not experienced enough to use your tools properly as warrior, you'll most likely end up with 100 TP in the middle of a fight, not being able to even attack, whereas Paladins have a combo that regens mana, allowing them to Flash more times

In terms of looks, I prefer Paladins for their amazing shield+sword glamour options. Warriors do look great as well, however

Both are their benefits and merrit but warrior has a higher skill ceiling while PLD is easier in the long run both get their tank stance at 30 post stormblood update so the benefits of taking warrior over pld are null now and you can work with both

[Ocenau]

on another note PLD uses MP for flash and a few other tools and TP for the combo actions one of which can restore MP Warrior Uses TP exclusively and has no way to really get it back but they have higher HP and more ways to restore HP in the middle of a fight through buffs and part of their dps combo I belive storms path restores hp and combos out of maim. warriors also have to group enemies infront of them while paladin can use flash and hit enemies all arround them, warriors can use holmgang root themselves and 1 enemy and for the duration of the rooting effect they don't drop below 1 hp paladins can use hallowed ground to negate all damage for a short amount of time while standing in your hallowed ground. as for the rest try both out and see which one you like.
