is WAR the best MT now?

Its not that it is inherently hard, its just so much more laughably easy on WAR. I don't see how that's even up for discussion.

And its not just one GCD. Its one for every tank swap, and there are many in savage atm. And they feel clunky as well with on-GCD stances.

Double-weaving your stance with voke? I'm sorry, but I'll take that any day of the week over instant mitigation, that's what CDs are for. And yes IB is on the GCD but guess what isn't? Every other CD the job has. Oh and SW and EQ are oGCD as well. EZPZ. I can't count the amount of times I've eaten a TB, NAKED, as a WAR, and just yolo-healed back up with SW+EQ.

No other job's stances or passive buffs need a GCD to activate. NIN poisons, MNK fists, cleric stance, none of them. Cleric stance is insanely powerful for being oGCD. Swaps INT/MND and then buffs damage dealt on top of that. I'd happily keep the MP costs of the Oaths/Grit, and even have a longer recast time so we must remain committed to the stance for longer and not leap in and out every 10 SECONDS like WARs can, if they were simply oGCD.

Some WAR mains really perplex me. They'll go on and on about how good their job is, the best in the game, and it shouldn't be nerfed, the others should be buffed, but then the nanosecond a PLD or DRK starts to talk about any of these hypothetical buffs, or think they're entitled to any of the things that make WAR so good, it suddenly becomes too much for people to handle, and all they can do is trump up perceived on-paper disadvantages that WAR supposedly has that do very little to actually gimp the job in practice.

tl;dr "no nerfs pls buff other tanks, w8 no, don't buff the other tanks, then they might actually be well designed like us, can't have that no sir" - this is what I feel like i'm reading sometimes. Feel free to disagree.
