I miss the old WAR decision making.

It doesn't matter what they want to enforce, we'll do whatever we can to contribute to the group.

Right now, we have no idea on how Savage will scale. My guess, when it comes to WAR, is that the windows you'll have between two damage spikes will be too short to really make up for the gauge penalty. Exactly how PLD would lose DPS if they had to swap stances back and forth when it interrupted combos.

But that's only my guess, we'll see the real situation in two weeks.

WAR is the job designed to switch stances on the regular while being punished for it.

WAR was the job designed to switch stances back and forth in 3.x. Now, with the gauge penalty, things have changed. You're free to dislike that new design, but it's how it is for now.

Yes I know that already, but war has only berserk and only equilibrium on a 60s cd, while pld has requiescat and convalescence for clemency, so either you can't compare the 2 at all or drop the healing part and say they're the same imo

You can compare the two by themselves to say if they're the same or not. If you want to analyze wich job has a better toolkit, then you'll have to include other skills. And on that, yes, PLD currently has a better one. I never said otherwise.
