You can make a WAR tank work but the idea of HAVING to be over geared for the instance is just ridiculous IMO.

These changes were needed just to make WAR a usable tank instead of a 2nd thought off tank. Cause even in a best case scenario the PLD was a better off tank than a WAR.
I tanked Titan for my Relic just fine with half DL, half AK and Titans Axe...idk what you're talking about. You seem to be just really bad at WAR, or your group doesn't know how to "adjust" to a WAR tank.
Coil is more demanding when it comes to WAR tank...but in one of our FC groups they had a WAR tank all the way to Turn 5 with DL and Relic, before he got any Myth/Allagan pieces, so your point is invalid.

WAR needed buffs for sure...but IMO they got ahead of themselves and exaggerated the buffs a bit. Take off the mitigation from Inner Beast and buff it back up to 300% healing. That's all it would take to really equal them out. IB is just over the top.
