People only think that because of Defender and some of the WAR AF1, which creates the illusion that WAR can tank, with all that VIT and Enmity on it. If that was all that it takes, you have a better shot at BLM tanks, because Mana Wall does a lot more for defense than Defender could in a million years.
Well, someone was tanking when the game was first released, before nin and pld were available...

Moepapa Mace says hi. Not to mention Sagasinger, Twilight knife, ToM GS are about the only ones WAR has been excluded from, Draca Cousa and Quint spear, Only a couple of 76+ bows, scythes and staves that war can use, but that's about it.
Overall, an unfounded statement. It should have just read "SE didn't let WAR do all of the ToM weapons Q.Q"
