IS WAR as hard as it seems?

War has even fewer buttons to press than paladin though.

War has even fewer buttons to press than paladin though.

Except they don't.

WARs use every single skill they have pretty regularly and a lot stay relevant regardless of role.

PLDs don't. Cover is rarely used, Clemency is rarely used, Tempered Will is rarely used, Shield Bash is rarely used, one of their cross-class skills is basically a throw away, and a lot of their skills do nothing when they aren't being hit. PLDs have a very small number of skills you frequently use and a lot of buttons you might press a couple times per raid tier.

DRKs also share the issue of some of their skills being situational and others being useless while not being hit (either at all or by a specific damage type). But, at least DRKs have a larger spread of buttons they need to frequently press.
