WAR in BC. Do we need it?

[Crimess]

No one is saying you can't do BC with a Warrior tank (though gl in T4 without a PLD), just that you're making it needlessly more difficult for your healers.

So WARS are viable is just that healers are lazy?

WARs are a worse tanking class than PLDs in end content. So if beating encounter X requires a Y level of gearing for a PLD and healers, and you take a WAR, you need to compensate by having a WAR with Y+1 gearing, or having healers with Y+1 gearing. There's no free lunch, and the WAR entree is more expensive.

Well if you count "I am physically unable to keep you alive during some attempts" as lazy, then sure.

But that's a pretty ridiculous and nonsensical definition of lazy.
