A detailed Reaction to Warrior in SB

Its amusing hearing ppl say pld is squishy when it has the highest sustain currently.

It isn't squishy, it's in the middle between DRK the squishy tank, and WAR.

What exactly is the metric people are using to determine "squishiness"

I'm guessing alot of people are apparently using number of cooldowns/dmg received as the metric but that's not exactly how it works. I think of it in terms of self sustain, in all my experience on war... PLD has lived longer in emergency situations or after healers die. This is most noticeable during royal menagerie with both tanks constantly being hit. Even my static pld buddy has saved me quite a few times with clemency just for a recovery with raises going around.

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with that statement.
WAR isn't best OP tank anymore but it's still in a very good spot IMO.
I play all 3 tanks and never feel like any of them is a bad choice in any content. DRK still needs a bit of love but overall, we have a pretty healthy tank balance at the moment.

A tank being definitively better in all areas is not a good thing.

HW WAR was not good. Neither is SB PLD.

Yes I liked how it felt and how I was useful. But I don't need to be OP to be fun or useful. But I also don't want to be "eh. You can do the content with it just fine."

No it's not good.
But the problem was never HW WAR or even SB PLD. The problem was HW PLD which was straight up bad. SB DRK is nowhere as bad as HW PLD was.

Current tank balance isn't perfect but it's by far the best we've had so far. And really, SB DRK isn't broken or anything... it need a dps buff to catch up to PLD/WAR and a bit more mitigation/utility.
It'd be very easy to fix through potency adjustments if SE deemed it appropriate.

I worded that previous post badly.

I didn't mean to imply that SB PLD is OP like HW WAR was.

I think it's fine as it is right now.

HOLY NECRO WTF LMAO!
