All of the Disciples of War classes/jobs utilize Aether to an extent to augment their capabilities, though in differing ways. Do Warriors and Paladins likely have a greater physical presence? I'd say that's pretty certain. But, Aether is what pushes them past normal standard and into "I can take that demigod's fist to the face."
Aether is also the defining factor in -how- they act as protective wards. Different mindsets and goals equal varying "origins" and methods in which their magick manifests. It's why Warriors and Paladins aren't the same.
