Default PVP build question

What (Tank) class has overall the most psysical attack power, Warrior or Dervish? I've read so many conflicting statements that say the Dervish will own any Warrior in PVP but how can that be when the Dervish can't dual wield and Warrior can? Also the warrior has better armor from what the wiki says. I'm confused!!

Physical attack power is a very broad term.

What are you trying to do? What is the build style? What team build are you playing with? Are you playing with a team at all?

Dervishes provide a good amount of conditions with some aoe with how they are built.

Warriors have better damage on one target. Warriors also have better utility in regards to axe interupts, shock, and bulls strike - Not to mention straight up hammer warriors.

Which is typically the stronger character?
Warriors.
Which requires the least amount of skill in relation to result?
Dervishes.
Which has a higher skill cap but also has a greater reward the better you are?
Warriors.

Someone who tells you that dervishes are better than warriors probably is a terrible warrior and possibly an even more terrible frontliner.

Warrior can have more attack power probably but for a 1vs1 the derv does better usually because of their enchantments and what not. I rarely see a derv knock anyone over though. One time with my warrior I couldn't kill 2 dervs in a team with 2 monks... it was sad. They actually damaged us more than our monks could handle eventually (which seems impossible, one must have given up or they are just bad). I was a warrior with all damage output and could lower him below 50%. I had interrupts that just wouldn't land.

Think of rock, paper, scissors when you play this game. Derv usually wins warrior. Warriors win what dervs cannot though. It's just part of the game to get used to. For any build, there is a weakness, and warrior are more rock, paper, scissors like than the dervs are because some teams have anti-melee while some don't, some monks are more vulnerable to knock downs than being interrupted. Dervs seem more tanky than them.

Don't waste your time doing 1vs1 . .. very worthless part of the game.

Watch the damage dealt... its crazy high. At 10:00 in the video I kill a derv with just a few hits and then again 20 seconds later. The derv was actually the easiest for me to kill among their party.
