    WAR has a tremendous advantage over every other tank in basically every respect, and they're now being handed not just "a support skill", but a support skill that is hilariously overpowered even compared to the tank who is supposed to specialize in support defense. It's really, really dumb.
    What exactly changed from storm blood to now that made war trash tier to this OP juggernaut you claim it to be? Defense hasn't changed. Dps has not changed substantially (the extra 20 rage from inner release cost is nice, but not some Dps gamebeaker). It sire wasn't the hp drain on cyclone. Drk got potency buffs on par with 50 on IB and 10 on path and then some. Is it the stance dance cost? Considering no one in optimized raiding uses tank stance anyway, nope no effect.

    War was universally agreed trash tier at release under drk. Now it's god tier because shake it off became something good? Please lay off the hyperbolic crazyness. War has a "tremendous advantage over every other tank". Did we just forget pld exists? War is not some god tier tank and drk is crying in the corner. Drk was rated well over war until only recently and very little has actually changed. It will not take some giant buff to tip the scales back when only small things tipped it to start with.

    Also there are additional changes we haven't even seen which likely incldue drk anyway. Chilax.
