war nerfs(srs bznz pls)

If only a WAR could survive that combo while saving Holmgang, Foresight, Convalescence, Equilibirum and Second Wind for the next rotation...
Oh, wait, it can

Without even adressing the issue that eating all of this solo doesn't have any purpose since it's possible to completely avoid Final Apocalypse. Or the other issue that even if you have a PLD or DRK to tank that solo, your off-tank still better be a WAR.

You just linked a video of a WAR blowing basically everything to survive one Final Punch --> Apoc --> Final Beam.

So what do you have for the next rotation? Foresight and IB? Maybe an Adlo shield buffed by Convalescence? You can Equilibrium and BB to survive the Apocalypse and Short Needles (with regen and medica II). You can Holmgang the beam. But, the punch is going to kill you first.

With Vengeance, Thrill of Battle, Raw Intuition, IB, and a SCH shield it still dropped him to 14k HP. You seriously think that with just Foresight, he's living through the next one? You're comparing 20%, ~7% damage reduction with Defiance to 30%, 20%, 20%, + 20% more HP with Defiance.

Like... At some point you really just need to stop digging.

And for reference, I do what Xeno did in that video every week. I know it can be done. The second one will massacre you.
