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

This is why im not sure what everyones problem is with WAR when it comes to loosing beast gauge when changing stances, IB is SO GOOD now, it got a potency buff and its a mini-rampart as OP said, and unchained is cheap as chips with usualyl enough beast gauge left over to use onsought to get back to the boss after a mechinc. Delivierence does feel clunky but i do think thats because the 5 fell cleaves was designed to be a meme more than anything. it also creates an extra layer of complexity in that if you know you have to switch stances soon for eg a tank buster, instead of complaining about the beast gauge loosing 50% just use up what you have and then switch for minimal losses, it defiantly feels more like you have to prepare for things and actually know the fight as WAR now instead of in 3.x where it was like "OOps gotta tank swap lel, better use my oGCD stance swap and just laugh it off".

Honestly though as they are right now is probably as balanced as tanks have ever been since the release of 3.0, that being said though its only marginally better and you have to wonder how they actually test balance changes internally because usually it seems a bit off the mark.

Yes it is unfortunate, but it being a forum its the best place to discuss that kind of thing. saying how great something is is probably better left for reddit as people may actually stay on topic and not veer off. and honestly with tanks how they have been for the past 2 years it does make me wonder why we're only getting this much discussion now regardless of the fact that WAR was massively overtuned in 3.x but the community mostly just went "this is fine" instead of speaking up.
