No? So... what's the problem?
Even if WAR has to run alongside a PLD to be viable... they are still... viable.
This beyond my ability to judge. I have no idea why 4x BRD would be insufficient to begin with. However, it's important to keep in mind the difference between not viable and prohibited by special mechanic. If the boss becomes immune to x damage type at random, then 4 characters of one type are viable, but prohibited by special mechanic. If there is a class, regardless of mechanics, which is unable to complete the job required (e.g. a DPS which fails to deliver enough damage to prevent healer OOM, such as using a WAR as a DPS), then it is not viable. A viable DPS may be clubbed by a special mechanic, but it is otherwise fine. WAR is not being hit by any special mechanic, it's just failing to do the task assigned it.

I don't know; I haven't seen anyone try. Regardless, 2 PLD are able to clear all content, so I'm just wondering if anyone has seen 2 WAR do any of it. Again, I'm not really big on the whole "viable" issue, I just am not sure whether the people arguing that WAR is "viable" have even considered what is meant.
