Tank Balance Achieved?

On WHAT planet?

In planet earth my friend WAR currently has the highest self DPS of the 3 PLD and DRK get a boost with slaying Dbuff from PT which makes them to equal or slightly more dmg, and yeah they are more punishing and requires more "skill" to pull off. which is why most people agree it needs either more damage or pld needs a dmg nerf. But if you put all 3 tanks on a dummy tanks does more damage than the other 2. I think there was a threat about it around here you can use as source.

Dummies don't have mechanics that can interrupt your rotations.

The only thing that WAR leads in currently is that it has arguably the best personal cooldown spread of the three tanks.

• 20% mitigation on a 90s CD. (Rampart - Universal)
• 20% more healing on a 120s CD. (Convalescence - Universal)
• 20% max HP on a 120s CD. (Thrill of Battle)
• 30% mitigation + 50 potency retaliation on 120s CD (Vengance)
• 20% physical mitigation on 90s CD (Raw Intuition - goes extremely well with Awareness)
• "Panic Button" (Holmgang) on 180s CD, so it can be used more than once per fight.

But that doesn't matter when you won't be MT-ing outside of normal content currently anyways (unless your healers don't mind you entering DPS stance).

Dont forget 20% mitigation on 50 gauge cost possible upkeep of up to 70% if you forego any and all dreams of doing real damage for whatever purpose.
