If you think that makes the WAR an avoidance tank you need to go back to MMO school or something.

Second, LOL@ WAR putting out 250 DPS in defiance. I mean, you are welcome to join us back in reality whenever you want. a WAR pulling 250 DPS in defiance would pull ~320-330 DPS outside of defiance, and yeah, that would put them as a contender for top DPS, even over pretty much any DPS job. Even then, you will never see a tank able to "pick up a boss" if necessary doing remotely close to that much damage. Even if it were possible it would only be possible with full Darklight or Better DPS accessories, and that would leave you at about a 800-1000 HP deficit.

And finally, WAR is not successfully MTing up to turn 5 "and beyond". They are OTing up to turn 4 and then switching jobs to a non-tank for Turn 5.

SE will change their stance once tanks in COIL are 95% PLD and 5% WAR, and the PLD running groups are on average 2 turns ahead of the ones running WAR. There was already a huge imbalance in the number of PLD:WAR. This is only going to put more WAR on the back burner.
