Tank Balance

[Dererk]

I know OP said something about not getting into how over powered war is but feel like it needs to be said.

One of the big reasons war can put out alot more damage than the others is because wars Storms Eye gives a slashing resistance down debuf to mobs.

This can up dps alot also they can give more debuffs than the other tanks and aren't dropped for a new one like how PLD can't have both the Goring blade and rage debuff on the same mob at once.

And still parry is unless in large amounts or if at all useful. If parry would just improve mitigation we would go for full vit right side.

Oh wait we can't thou because SE thought it was a good idea to make VIT the most important tank stat when we still need a decent amount of str to keep hate on the mobs.

Just got to leap in to correct here:

Goring Blade and Rage of Halone debuffs can both be on the mob with no problem. In fact the standard "hybrid rotation" which optimises dps/debuffs/threat is Goring -> Rage -> Royal and has basically 100% uptime on both. The only reason paladins drop the rage of halone debuff is because rage of halone itself does less damage than Royal Authority.

Also, Storms Eye is not something to consider when comparing tank damage. Ninjas can provide it too, and often a Warrior is present as an offtank when a DRK/PLD is main tanking. In virtually all cases that matter when tank DPS is being compared, tests are done with the Slashing Debuff applied. Even accounting for this Warriors are way ahead of the other two.
