war nerfs(srs bznz pls)

[Brian_]

I'd rather play a fun game that's slightly imbalanced than force myself to play a boring game that's balanced.

And again, people are vastly overstating how bad PLD and DRK are. They are both extremely important during early progression. The only thing that is a problem is PLD and DRK pairings. Again, some comps in this game just don't work well for early progression. You wouldn't bring a WHM / AST pairing either. You wouldn't bring a MCH over a BRD in a double caster comp or a BRD over a MCH in a double melee comp. You ideally don't want to pair MNK and DRK and don't want a MNK / DRG melee DPS pairing.

Warriors have no real disadvantage, so yeah, they could use more nerfs or the other tanks could use some buffs.

Paladin is my preferred tank, but I barely use it anymore. It doesn't bring much except a bit of utility in crisis situations that shouldn't happen, like keeping the last healer alive with Clemency and using Hallowed Ground to buy some extra time or eat a mechanic solo. It's got a pile of CDs that are all basically the same idea and not much better than Inner Beast. Divine Veil is worthless except to see people's health move a little less on an aoe that they were going to be healed for anyway.

Warrior is the best right now both for real tanking and for "meh don't need a tank, just dps" tanking. There needs to be better balance so that it's more about preference instead of warriors just being better. They definitely weren't nerfed too far and could use some more tweaking. Before warriors were reaching the point where they didn't even need healers. It was ridiculous.

I seriously don't get why people post stuff like this. No relevant experience. Tons of just incorrect opinions. Pure garbage post content.
