With all the negativity around war let's talk about the best part of 4.0!

. Not to mention the lack of needing to focus entirely on shoving as many Fell Cleaves at the boss as possible means I can happily zip around with Onslaught. It's wonderful, no other word for it. Warrior in defiance really does feel like the immovable mountain that shrugs off everything that is thrown at it, just like the class quests made it out to be.

How have you warriors been enjoying finally using Defiance for more than 10% of the fight? I genuinely dislike having to play war in the OT role because it feels so rigid and static compared to how fluid MT gets to be.

Who knew that ignoring half your class and only doing the exact same things over and over would make a role easier to play? Must be real hard to do two combos and click IB. WAR in MT is the least complicated tank in the entire game, you have exactly ZERO worries about timing anything beyond when to use IB. Deliverance even in SB requires far more thought.

It's freaking hilarious that supposedly the absolute best way you can think of to play WAR is by ignoring half the class and our brand new level 70 ability. Like I honestly struggle to think of a sentence that would adequately explain just how silly that idea is. In what world is ignoring half your job an indicator of anything good? Name ONE other class in the entire game that ignores their level 70 ability.

That's not great. That's sad.

Also, PLD feels just as invulnerable so that's a really bad argument to make as well and that's not even touching on the fact that WAR was even better in HW with damage mitigation with damage debuff, bloodbath, the cross self heal, and stronger heals from IB/Path.

As for "feeling". I struggle to understand how this new WAR fits the theme more then HW which could do everything you mentioned AND was useful to your team as more then just a "spam inner beast" tank.

Also your dig at FC to use onslaught...I can't even be bothered.
