    WAR "pays" for its DPS by losing all of its defenses while doing it.

    WAR's "utility" is Storm Path. That. is. it. People are over exaggerating the f*** out of this buff. You can live without it. It is just Sacred Soil. A lot of the major important raid-wide AoE either 1) happens when the boss cannot be hit (Twintania ultimate after dives, T9 Megaflare, As1 Opressor Jumps) or 2) Can be healed through regardless. Also note that any good WAR will drop Storm Path out of its rotation to maintain higher DPS. Any "better" WAR will apply it for seconds before busters/raid DPS like how BRDs applied Rain of Death in 2.0 before the nerf.

    PLD + DRK combos work JUST. AS. GOOD. Bring a NIN for the slashing debuff and the OT's TP. Bringing another job for a debuff is not new. It is the same as bringing a job for a buff (look BRD and MCN). PLD + WAR still needs monk's INT down if that's a concern. DRK + WAR will suffer more physical damage because no RoH and DRK is pure shite against physical damage.

    If you think WAR "needs" equilibrium to sustain its TP outside of As2, you know jack about WAR and how it plays. Not to mention all fights have TP breaks in boss invulnerabilities or mechanic handling. There are very few exceptions (namely T8 and T11).

    People cry about irrelevant things and call imbalance the second their job does not perform optimally in their preferred spot. PLD does not have to MT every fight. DRK does not and SHOULD NOT MT every fight. WAR does not need to be brought for every fight.
