Please don't go through with the WAR changes SE

The patch notes are only preliminary, you've still got time to back down from these, devs please reconsider. Virtually nobody who plays WAR right now will be happy with these.
You've done such a good job with previous changes, the remade Shake it Off is great, the 4.1 WAR is awesome and fun, there is no need to change. The only gripe some people had with WAR was that the dps advantage over PLD was too small to warrant the extra effort, but with the nerf to PLD even that should no longer be a concern. Just go through with the small changes to other tanks that you've planned and let's all forget there was anything meant for WAR.

Please remember that the biggest complaint about 4.0 WAR was that it is no longer fun, if you go through with these changes we'll be right back to that point.

Virtually nobody? It's played more than DRK and slightly less than PLD according to the monthly census.

Think you misread it, buddy. He means that most of the WAR mains are dissapointed with the changes.

And yeah, I'm on the same boat. Please reconsider these changes, specially the IR/Berserk changes. They dumb the job down so much and it's a flat nerf on WAR's damage.

I'm the oddball. As a warrior, I welcome these changes. I'm going to have alot of fun playing around with it.

With these changes WAR becomes he casual tank, he will be even easier than DRK.
You can just ungabunga everything.

Did anyone even complained about war? What's the reason for these changes? D:

LOL I'm a WAR since 2.2 and I cant wait to try the new WAR.

Lol the thread failed

People complained that that WAR didn't do enough damage for how strict its rotation was in comparison to PLD (WAR's damage is heavily weighted towards its burst windows, so delaying them/failing to execute them lead to large losses in damage compared to the other tanks).
So instead of giving it a simple potency bump like most people expected (or heck just reducing PLD's damage and leaving WAR as is - the gap would widen either way), they've made it's damage output smoother at the cost of making it far less interesting as a job.
They also reduced it's synergy with party buffs (now it's actually detrimental to do your burst window while crit/direct-hit-affecting party buffs like Chain Stratagem or Battle Litany are up because you don't benefit from them).

This is the worst thing they could have done to WAR
