war nerfs(srs bznz pls)

[Reynhart]

Then I love to see how you survive the 2 Final Punches solo in A8S.

If WAR is such a "god" at tanking, why can't WAR solo all the tank buster, amirite? Guys?

And how does a PLD do it ?

It's just that people who never clear content where you really need to milk every drop out of your mitigation kit while sustaining high DPS often vastly exaggerate how good WAR is.

We're not exaggerating how good WAR is or how bad PLD and DRK can be. The problem is that the meta in this game aims for absolute optimum.
100 or 200 DPS is not much, you're right, but it's still undoubtedly better.
Did they decide to make STR even sligthly higher than VIT for AP on tanks (0.5 vs 0.45 for example) you can be sure than everyone would still bitch about VIT tank as being weak and lazy.

PLD and DRK are perfectly viable for anything, and the better solution might just be to change the mentality, but that's something that will never happen.
