Lyth said it best. WAR is a great class but I can't say it's the best MT. You have to rely on healer and your self heals to top insane damage. They lack base mitigation aka grit ShO meaning their damage intake spikes. If you call that being a superior tank I'm not sure what to say. They require more work and focus of a fight to tank properly and even then they have to hope healer is backing them up. Right now best MT for trials type of fights goes to PLD, perfect mitigation and now more than enough damage to maintain great aggro without spamming 123 combos. Dungeons I have to give it to DRK no tank can AoE like them meaning dungeon clear times with them are normally faster when I use them. Don't get it wrong WAR is far from weak but they fall in between because self heals makes for solid mitigation and best damage out of the tanks and bring great utility. I think WAR are the best OT MT ummmmm no but still solid as a MT.
