    Forum's light on WAR adjustment suggestions - but mostly I assume because people are pleased with their WAR performance.

    Though an adjustment I'd like to see would be to Fracture. Hate having WSs that are completely ignored - especially their only DoT - (but then again some - like DRG Feint, MNK Haymaker are exceptions) and I'd like to see some buff to Fracture to make it worth consistently maintaining in MT role..

    Like if it's used as a 4th hit in a Storm Eye, Storm Path, or Butcher Block combo it gives a stack of Wrath/Abandon for example

    OMG! Applying Fracture without delaying Wrath/Abandon!! Droooool

    WAR is amazing. It has the highest OT potential of the three tanks. And arguably highest MT DPS. It also has the highest aggro generation burst thanks to unchained and berserk.

    WAR mitigation is great. There is no situation where a WAR won't have something to mitigate incoming damage. Thanks to Inner Beast alone. It has INSANE uptime. Couple in other CDs and you can out-mitigate everyone.

    However, WAR is the hardest tank of the three to mitigate with since it requires planning around its GCD usage. That doesn't make it "hard" at all. Just harder than the other tanks' simple push-CD-to-mitigate-for-20-seconds. Also WAR is the least safe of the three tanks since it has no passive mitigation. If caught flat-footed and the healer wasn't paying attention, you take full damage and risk dying fast.
