Based on the tokens I have, I farmed Thordan EX 44 times as of reset.

Since people here seem to be dodging the truth, I'll just state some facts.

Good WARs in Thordan EX pull maybe 80~90% of the DPS of good DPS. And that's with the necessity to actually tank. If you could just full-time DPS on Thordan EX, you would be even closer. The reality is for burst alone, WAR is better than most DPS classes. And, Thordan EX's design lines up very well with WAR burst windows. Phase 1 lines up really well with WAR's triple FC opener and ends soon after you hit your 5th FC. Phase 2 Lines up perfectly with a Berserk window. Phase 3 is again burst dependent. If you guess right as a WAR and pick the Sword Oath knight, you can easily kill it before the first oath switch and you'll only have to switch positions once. Phase 4 is again burst dependent with meteor DPSing. Again, things line up really well with WAR Berserk windows and job mechanics (being able to carry stacks from phase 3). Phase 5 you can open with your full triple FC opener which again perfectly ends shortly before gaze if you Berserk early during phase 4. Phase 6-9 are basically just striking dummy phases aside from the short periods of time certain people need to leave the boss to handle mechanics (p6 towers, p7 tether + divebomb, p8 chain + ice + comet).

You basically get perfect Berserk up-time with most of the Berserk down-time and pacification negated by phasing and mechanics. It's a really good fight for WAR DPS.

In my group, I basically pull DPS on par with our actual DPS in phase 1, better DPS in phase 2, worse DPS in phase 3 (because I have to actually tank), on par DPS in phase 4, and on par DPS in phase 5-9. And, we're an A4S progression group so our DPS reaches a certain benchmark.

What this means is that if you put together a decent group of WARs, they will probably vastly out-DPS a lot of mediocre raid groups. Is it some bar to judge that WARs are OP? No. PLDs are vastly better than DRKs in Thordan EX. I guess PLDs are perfectly fine as tanks by the same reasoning? It doesn't work that way.
