Butchers block combo is the highest potency War has...
150 HS, 200 SS, 280 BB = 630. DRKS soul eater combo is 800 potency (150, 250, 400). You get 2 Stacks per BB combo...

1260 vs 1600 potency for 2 rotations. Now do the rotation up to Skull sunder so we get our 5th stack, thats 1610 Potency, 8 attacks used so far. Fell Cleave is the 9th GCD attack, brings us to 2110 potency.


Drk just his DA Soul eater 3x and does 2400 potency. We infuriate Fell cleave we're at 2610 potency, they drop Salted earth and they're at 2925 potency...
Want to consider that Fracture is 300 potency and Scourge is 500 potency too?
After all these shenanigans we throw in Fracture for 2910, they Scourge and are effectively at 3425.

Whats the damage difference? Drk has 17% more Potency. Want to throw in Plunge which is also off the GCD? Want to throw in Dark Passenger on top? Hell we could throw in reprisal if the situation allows it, its off the GCD as well.

Just in this segment Drk already has 17% more potency. Note that Berserk? Deliverance? They're working to go against this potency gap between War and Drk (well Blood Weapon exists too). Tank damage difference is not large, sorry buddy.

If anything what makes War stand out more objectively and not just "I see big numbers" is Unchained while tanking, and Equilibrium replenishing TP where PLD and Drk don't have a TP refresh.
You're just looking at raw potency.

Maim is 20% increased damage dealt. Darkside is 15%

And looking at what you said, the drk would have no mp left after your three rotations, meaning back to spamming delirium for a 280 potency combo where as the warrior would just keep doing 500 potency attacks at a constant rate.

Don't look at raw potency, you have to look at what the class can actually do, not just in fantasy.
