WAR raid "UTILITY" (Tank Balanced achieved?)

[Tegernako]

DRK has very few advantages over any other tank in any current fight. DRK's overrepresentation in early prog had much less to do with the class's efficacy and much more to do with the fact that Warrior players were putting on too much of a pout at the time over losing their godlike mandatory-pick status to see that they were still the strongest tank class.

So why were the best players in the world not picking WAR then? The people who min/max the most, who know everything about the game the best. Didn't pick war because they were pouting? What a joke.

People like you are so petty. I don't know why people like you assume it has to be that.

It can't be that people don't like how it plays, or the lack of utility, or the lower damage, or any other number of things individually or combined. I could argue the same, that DRK players are only mad because they are at the bottom and not mandatory but it woudn't be true because people are upset about legitimate issues.

Irregardless of anything, people are also quite simply allowed to express their dislike for something. Maybe you aren't the best in the world, with top percentile dps, but if you don't like changes to a class you're allowed to not like them and not have it ONLY be because you're not the best. I didn't like half my gauge disappearing every stance switch, that had nothing to do with not being the best tank and everything to do with making the job unfun to play.

Because before 4.05 (4.06 ? I never remember) War was much more clunky to use, and when the changes were announced, top players had already choosed, leveled up, trained with and geared their picks. You can't make the equivalent of one month of work (maybe less ?) in a few days. Moreover, drk might be better for progress because it delivers consistent damage, it's not built around burst windows that you can blow away because you don't know the fight (at least, I think it was the reason. Correct me if i'm wrong)

And it really depends on what you consider best player in the world. If you consider the top speedrunners, there are really few drks, only pld's and war's. You can see more drk's in o2s and o4s because of magic damage.

But see my point is none of that has anything to do with "not being the best tank". It's just a petty insult.

Ah yes, looking at your comment, and the one you quoted, I can see what made you tick. I think it was more of a joke than anything else. I don't remember comments being about buffing war, but being about bringing war and drk at paladin's level.

Trust me, there's quite a few people who think that way.
